Amazon Boots Macmillon: Breaking Book News

As you may have already heard about Amazon's hissy fit with major publishing company, Macmillon, over eBook prices, but did you know that you can no longer buy books published by Macmillon or any companies (e.g. Fewiel & Friends, Tor Books, Farrar, Strauts, & Giroux, Henry & Holt, just to name some) that are part of Macmillon on Amazon !? I can't believe this! Want to know some more facts? Came across this video by author Jack Pierce (Wishful Thinking) who talked about what Amazon has been up to and that supporting indi bookstores are more important than ever because....... guess what? They can't tell ya what to read! Watch the video:

January 2010 Releases

I keep this notebook (the Notebook) that has pages and pages of upcoming books and other to-read books. Solid book names and authors! I think I've been "hoarding" my Notebook for too long, so I've decided to share those pages with you. Hope this helps to find more great books this year. There is an Amazon link at the bottom of the page, look up the books through Amazon. The links that are included, are of books you can find here on BLT. The release information is not always correct due to the fact that releases dates change all the time. Please contact me if I'm missing a book or anything else :)
