There’s a new kid in cybertown: Bookish, the consumer oriented book site, “Bookish taps the expertise of authors, their editors and their publishers to find you the best reads.” Move over Goodreads, this star is rising with support from the combined effort of Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group (USA) and Simon & Schuster.

Speaking of boosts, the pending civil action against Standard and Poors by the US government is still getting the runaround from parent company McGraw-Hill, whose stock fell today with the announcement. The $5 million action alleges egregious conduct from S & P suggesting that the, “inflated ratings and understated risks associated with mortgage securities,” was fraud, according to Reuters. Oh what a tangled web they weave…

Great share!
Thanks!
This makes me want to jump on a bed and forget about Standard and Poors and McGraw-Hill.
count me in, Marylin, nothing like jumping on the bed and then playing ‘tent’ to hide from the world!
Bookish is new to me – looks interesting
McGraw-Hill – (shaking head) what can I say….those little fingers are in so many pies.
wasn’t there a tale about so many fingers in pies? probably doesn’t end very well, hmmmm
Bookish is totally new, launched this week, glad you’re checking it out Phil
You just blew my mind, Roxie! I’ve never heard of Bookish. And I love me some Goodreads so I definitely need to pop over and check it out. Thanks for the heads up!
yeah! Writerlious, now go forth, scoop up the mind remnants and enjoy, hehehe
