Kelli Anderson, creator of This Book Is a Camera and This Book Is A Planetarium, has a new font-focused pop-up book on Kickstarter: Alphabet In Motion. I backed this when it launched but forgot to post about it here. Only 3 days left to back!
Here's videos of her previous books:
Kelli's books make fantastic gifts. I've given them multiple times.
Bloom is a literary site devoted to highlighting, profiling, reviewing, and interviewing authors whose first major work was published when they were age 40 or older. Great idea for a website.

If someone is labeled a “late bloomer,” the question Bloom poses is, “Late” according to whom?
André Aciman, Nicholson Baker, Kit De Waal, Isak Dinesen, George Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, PD James, Tove Jansson, James Michener, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Walker Percy, Donald Ray Pollock, Annie Proulx, Mary Roach, James Salter, Mark Twain, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Lidia Yuknavitch are just some of the authors they've discussed or interviewed.
Libro.fm is a neat alternative to Audible. Points in its favor: DRM-free; kick-backs to independent bookstores (I chose Toronto's awesome Flying Books); credits never expire; not owned by Bezos.
Like with Audible, the first month is free. Switching from Audible? First three credits are free by using the code SWITCH. Yes, they have far fewer books than Audible, but the selection is pretty good overall and the sale books have some great titles.
