Peter read a great article from Literary Hub (linked down below) about this news and is why we're re-running this segment this week. Plus, Peter lays out some of the upcoming segments for the show including CaZ's Tales and Threads, Colleen's Conversations with Colleen, and Peter's Book Review which are all coming up this month.  Article Links Literary Hub: In a dazzling move, Simon & Schuster is dropping their blurb requirement.
