Knock knock knock! Housekeeping! >> 4.06
A few items of business before we break for the weekend, people:
MOVING – As of Monday, BOOKGASM HQ will have moved from Oklahoma City to … well, 12 minutes away in Oklahoma City. If you’re an author or publicist and didn’t get the e-mail, drop me a line and I’ll gladly furnish you with the new information.
BOOK WHORE – Just curious: Anyone out there appreciate or get anything out of this weekly feature? Let me know, either via e-mail or commenting on this post.
COMMENTS – Speaking of comments, we sure wish you’d use them more. It’s fun to get discussions going and get your constructive feedback. That said, you can forget it if you’re a spammer trying to unload pharmaceuticals or entice visitors to your online casino. Comments are held in moderation, so all you spammers have been wasting your time, because you’re not getting through. And my time, because I’m getting about 30 a day from you jerks.
BOOKS 2 FILM – Next week, look for a new occasional feature called “BOOKS 2 FILM,” in which we review recent movies and/or DVD releases based on a book, and compare it to its source material. Fun! We’ll kick it off with a look at the Jennifer Aniston bomb DERAILED.
LINKS – Lastly, a little reminder to click those links. Buying anything at Amazon by entering their site through any link on our site helps support BOOKGASM and keep us moving right along. So if you shop there at all, please enter it through our humble home on the Internet. We thank you in advance.
If no one has anything further, I move to dismiss. Second? Great. Now can I catch a ride home?

If April is the month for fools, where were all the usual wacky search terms that bring people to this site? In past months, it’s all been about “torture drawings” and the like. But this month? It was all about actual books. Oh, and actual breasts (mostly those of Kristin Chenoweth, star of the new film RV, which opens in theaters today [and closes Wednesday?]). Actual books and actual breasts: Those are two of my favorite things. Or does that count as three? I’m too mentally exhausted to “figure” it out.
A few years ago, a new imprint called Firebird emerged to help sate the rising demand among young adults for quality fantasy and science fiction. As an introduction of sorts to the flavors it had to offer, Firebird editor Sharyn November assembled the anthology

Every outré form of cinema deserves at least one scholarly dissertation about it. They have them about everything from Italian slasher films to ’70s roughie pornos, so why not one about the golden era of Mexican genre cinema?
