We won't be making any money off any book sales -- any payments go into hosting fees for the Bookrageous podcast, or other Bookrageous projects. We promise.

The next book we'll discuss for the Bookrageous Book Club is Margaret Atwood's In Other Worlds, which is out in paperback now.

As always, if you order the book from  WORD in NY or Pages & Pages in Australia, use the coupon code "Bookrageous" for a 10% discount.

We try and do these discussions quartely, which means we'll be discussing In Other Worlds at either the end of December or the beginning of January.

In our first non-Bookrageous Bookrageous episode (think of it as a parallel timeline, or Bookrageous-2), Jenn and Rebecca brought in our friend Stephanie to talk about Getting Things Done. The only show note you really need is this -a link to David Allen's Getting Things Done.

Oh, and the intro/outro music is Where Is My Mind? by The Pixies.
