Whitewashed
Someone noticed that the cover of Justine’s new book doesn’t match the story. Oh, Bloomsbury. (ETA: Justine responds with a great entry on how disappointing this cover is, and how little control authors have over the marketing of their work.)

Web Standards for E-books — Joe Clark is always worth reading, but in this article he’s tackling the intersection of my two professions. Excellent stuff.
#They get points off for staring the article with, “Since ancient times,” but if you need to hand someone an intro reading list for urban fantasy, you could do a lot worse than Library Journal’s list. My other quibble? I would have starred Bitten.
