Welcome to this week’s Book End, highlighting the weekend’s literary and library events here in Hawaii. It’s been a crazy month for Misty and I, but now that a lot of the big events we’ve to are out of the way, we can finally say we will concentrate on finishing up a few things and pumping out more book reviews and other fun posts.
We’ve been getting a fair amount of books sent to us to review, and we are working on consuming each and every one and doing a write-up for each. So hopefully, for those generous authors/publishers who’ve sent us things, we *are* working on getting through them and posting something. And for our readers, you can expect a nice number of reviews in the coming weeks from a wide assortment of books spanning various genres. All in all, we’re excited about the next couple of weeks and hope to continue bringing more of Hawaii’s books, authors, publishers and literary events!
