As 2012 gets behind us and the new year comes in, we take a few moments in retrospect on some really good literary points over the last 12 months. Also, we tackle some recurring themes for debate regarding books and this country’s love-hate relationship with reading.
- Christmas may be over and all, but gift-giving is something that happens all year round. Find the best titles to fit any person’s wish list and any budget that you might have.
- The most passionate bookworms might state their piece that literature is still very much alive. Will the publishing industry and the rest of America agree?
- See what the most fun read of the year was, together with the other “most” and “best” titles, as compiled for us by The Guardian as we look back over the year of 2012.
- Idaho locals still prefer hard copy, print books over the e-book versions for their reading needs. Is this trend applicable there alone?
- Goodreads is the perfect place for book geeks to become social media tycoons. See what the site came up with to wrap up 2012 – a very successful year for them.
- In our discussion, “Is This Literary Cancer?” we talk about Americans and where they possibly stand on the weight of books and reading in their daily lives.
