Totally off topic, but worth mentioning is All Consuming. This is a website that is dedicated to searching weblogs for any books they have mentioned that link to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. Actually a pretty cool service I guess if you’re a complete bibliophile. It seems to be a great way to track interesting books, not to mention to get a lot of feedback on some of the most talked about books. I haven’t delved into it too deeply, but it seems to be an interesting way to seek feedback before you get that next big major bestseller.
I found this site because they linked back to one of the needlework books I had suggested. Gosh, the net is a huge place, eh?
