There was an article on Gawker the other day that NYTimes is planning to cut 20% of its editorial staff in 2009. I’m not sure what number that translates into but the report goes on to say that most of the cuts will be in the newspaper’s “softer” sections. Is Arts & Leisure a “softer” section and if so, does that mean anything for the NY Times Book section?  Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. She's currently loving contemporary authors like Sarah Mayberry and Kristan Higgins but her first love will always be the historical. Some of her old time favorites are Amanda Quick and Johanna Lindsey and some of the new favorites are Sherry Thomas, Joanna Bourne and Claudia Dain.

We don’t like to censor comments nor do we endorse the comments of any poster. We do reserve the right to moderate comments but most of the time will not, believing, as Justice Brandeis did, that the greater good is in “more speech, not enforced silence.”
Dwight Garner is leaving the NYT Book Review to join the rotation of book critics in the daily NYT. He says he’s been hankering to write more reviews. I wonder if his move creates a vacuum at the NYTBR. (Or even a succession problem–I remember some speculation that he might succeed Sam Tanenhaus.)
