Despite it just reaching 98 degrees this week here in St. Louis, stores everywhere are going to start thinking about “End of Summer” sales and start stocking the shelves with single subject notebooks and No. 2 Pencils. Students do still use those things, right? But as July comes to an end, and August arrives and school bells ring, it’ll still be a hot one here in Missouri. The weather doesn’t really start cooling down until pumpkins grow faces. So as we transition into the next season, here’s what is in store for The Lulu Book Review.

Today’s post is in response to blog reader Todd Fonseca, who asked about my thoughts on the Borders/Lulu relationship. For those who may not know about this, please visit the website, Borders Personal Publishing. The Podpeep review site also touched on it briefly, and I have to say I agree with their viewpoint.

I can’t resist a good short story anthology. I love being able to sit down with a collection and read two or three stories, and be able to walk away from it for a few days if I choose and not feel like I’m missing out on something. I’ve got closure in a matter of a few pages.

Will Entrekin’s self titled book, Entrekin, is a book that has had some exposure already. Upon writing this review, I have not taken a look at his popular MySpace page. Nor have I read the PODler review he links to on the book’s page at Lulu. Having read Mr. Entrekin’s book for myself now only validates why I started The Lulu Book Review in the first place. This is a POD book with lots of heart and character. It’s well polished. It is good writing.
