ARRC update
If you’ve registered for the Australian Romance Readers Convention, don’t forget to vote for your favourite reader review (hopefully you’ll like the review of Claiming the Courtesan in the fifth round *g*). You can read the entries here, and voting ends tomorrow.
The ARRC website has a guest blog for authors supporting the convention. It seems everyone is jealous of our summer. All I can say is that I hope nothing happens to the air conditioning that weekend!
Check out the Melbourne Leader article on the convention: Romantics converge in Melbourne for novel convention. This time next week, we’ll be in Melbourne! *happy dance*
Book events
The National Library of Australia in Canberra is holding a speed dating night for book lovers on Friday, February 20. You’re invited to bring your favourite book to use as an ice breaker and meet other book lovers. The event is open to all book lovers—not just singles.

ARRC update
The Australian Romance Readers Convention is less than two weeks away, and as part of the lead up to this event, the ARRC committee has been running a Reader Challenge. If you’ve registered for the convention, don’t forget to drop by the ARRC Lounge, read the entries, and vote for your favourite (hopefully one of ours *g*). You’ll need to be signed up to the ARRC Lounge to vote. This week’s round ends tomorrow, and next week is the final round, so if you’re planning to enter, you need to get your reviews in to Bek this weekend.
The ARRC website also has a guest blog for authors supporting the convention. It seems everyone is jealous of our summer. All I can say is that I hope nothing happens to the air conditioning that weekend!

First, the navel-gazing: Book Bizzo will now be coming out weekly. The posts will be shorter, but I think that probably works out better for everyone. Also, if you prefer monthly updates on what’s new at Book Thingo, I’ll be posting monthly summaries on our Facebook page.
Book launches, events, and authors
The ARRC has launched a guest blog for authors attending the convention.
I was sent a link to Second Chance for Romance, an online secondhand bookseller. Check out their catalogue on the website, and you can also e-mail them your wishlist. Secondhand stores for lazy people. I love the Internet.
Nalini Singh confirms the release date for Angel’s Pawn: February 24.

Book Bizzo is a fortnightly omnibus of news items, events, and other interesting tidbits related to books, and especially the Australian romance book industry. You can find past Book Bizzo posts here.
A quick bit of navel gazing first. Book Thingo now has a Facebook page. If you “become a fan”, you’ll receive (ir)regular updates and news, plus we’ll post monthly summaries of blog posts for those of you who prefer monthly digests rather than feeds. Feel free to post on our Wall and introduce yourself, give us book recommendations, or tell us what you’d like to see more of on the blog.
We’re also on Twitter. I’m playing around with different ways we can liveblog the Australian Romance Readers Convention in February

Every fortnight we’ll be posting a collection of news items, events, and other interesting tidbits related to books, and especially the Australian book industry. This first issue is bursting at the seams because it includes stuff from last year that I’ve been meaning to post. After this issue, we’ll be aiming to post current news and events as we hear about them. Click here for a list of Book Bizzo posts.
Book launches, events, and authors
Tempt the Devil by Anna Campbell was released last week, and there’s an interview of Campbell at Down Under Desirabelles. I WANT this book!
Bronwyn Parry’s second book–I assume it’s the loosely connected sequel to As Darkness Falls–will be out in September. A mass market paperback version of As Darkness Falls will be available in April.
