So glad it's Friday. It's been a long, wet week. We're supposed to see the sun again. That would be so nice.
Anyway, it's been a busy book week. Here are some interesting links.
*Remember how Nicholas Sparks said his books were so unique? Well, here's some proof that they aren't.
*Want to impress strangers on a train? Sure you do. Here's how to make them think you're smart: 10 books to read.
*Coming to theatres near you in 3D! Life of Pi.
*Watch your grammar on Twitter or the Twitter Scolds will get you!
*Saturday is Free Comic Book Day. See you in the funny pages!
*Jessica Seinfeld still not a plagiarist.
* Amazon sneaks in your window and watches you while you sleep. Maybe not, but they are watching you read.
*Now Charlie Brown can buy a new shirt. $175 Million is a lot of moolah!
*If you're a "nice" female book blogger, you might be faking it. Or, I don't know, maybe you just like the books you're reading? Possibly? (I feel like doing a SNL "Really?" skit.) And then there's Liz B's take.
*Book Trailers get their own awards from Moby Lives.
*Etsy Love: For the Jane Austen lover, pretty pendants from Pretty Whimsical.
Happy Weekend Peoples!
Couldn't stop laughing at the Sparks link. That guy is ridiculous. And her really needs to get a new person to design his movie posters.
ReplyDeleteThe 10 books to read on trains is great too!
Hi Chris! I have an award for you at my blog:

The Sparks link was great!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading about both sides of the "nice" female book bloggers issue. (It was timely since I have been beaten up this week for a notorious blog post about a book I truly disliked - in 2007.)
The Life of Pi movie producers seem to have special effects (which makes sense) mixed up with 3D (which does not make sense). I can't wait for Roger Ebert to tear them a new one. (He hates movies that use 3D just for the sake of using 3D)
ReplyDeleteAvid- It's shocking to see them side by side. How can he not see that!
ReplyDeleteMissy- Thanks!
Lori- You just got to do it your way.
John- That's right. As I was reading it, I thought it didn't make sense. Of course there not going to put a tiger in the boat with a kid. I think 3D is going too far. 3D TVs? Why?
