It's nearing the end of the year, so it seems like a good time to revisit a book tag from last December. Here's the My Life in Books Tag: the 2025 edition.

Take a look and maybe do your own!

Edelweiss Price Hike Roils Industry Significant cost increases implemented by the company are causing publishers to reevaluate how they use the service, including cutting the number of titles they list.

Interesting article on Edelwiss. We were hit with the same price increases, then signed up for a marketing plan that helps, but is still expensive compared to the rates before. It would be nice of there was some competition in the ARC space.
