Wanted: Volunteer Reviewers

Well, that kinda says it all. We are looking for people who would like to review for MonsterLibrarian.com. It works like this: we send you books, you review them using our format, we post the review, and then we send you more books. We get a lot of ebooks and are starting to get audiobooks as well, and there’s just too much for our current crop of reviewers to handle.

If you are interested, please email us at monsterlibrarian@monsterlibrarian.com and head your email with:

Volunteer Reviewer Position.

Thank you!

Moms vs. Zombies: End Times

What does it mean that in times of grief mothers turn to thoughts of the zombie apocalypse?

Okay, maybe not all mothers. Maybe just the ones in Indianapolis and the metro area.

A lot of us participated in a local online forum for moms which is now being shut down. And it’s amazing how many of our discussions have turned out to be about the apocalypse or what to do in case of zombie invasion. You might expect this in discussions about emergency preparedness, but it’s amazing how those zombies sneak in to conversations about crazy conspiracy theorist husbands and screaming toddlers. In fact, as things are winding down there, yet another person started a thread about zombies.

I told these fantastic, funny women that I’d leave a post here for them, just in case they ever need a place for their zombie fix.  This is the place, ladies! Come visit us sometime! And let me know when you’re headed to Palm Springs…

I wish I lived in New York City…

… because the Center for Fiction, located there, is devoting an entire month to celebrating Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea. This is part of an initiative called The Big Read, which is aimed at encouraging literary reading, especially children and teens. Not only are they celebrating a fantastic book by a great author, but there will be events throughout the month with an amazing variety of authors, including Kelly Link, Samuel Delany, Ellen Kushner, Margaret Atwood, Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, Justine Larbalestier… and you can hear them mostly for free. I had never heard of the Center for Fiction before, but thanks to Rose Fox at Genreville, I have now, and I’m really glad she pointed it out… just sad that I don’t live close enough to attend any of these events.
