Poor Pedro may have read Snooki's book too. Things are back to normal on the blog now that Armchair BEA is over and I actually read some books this week. Yay! Exciting stuff. So the Canadian postal service went on strike (boo!) which prevents me from ordering books (too cheap for FedEx, people). I'm wishing for a quick end to it. Anyway, here's to June! Hope it will be a good month.
*PEI Book blogger Colleen (Lavender Lines) hosting an auction to help the Slave Lake library rebuild. Lots of signed books on the block. Please check it out! And if you'd like to donate to the library here's where you can find out how.
*VS Naipaul's head is too big to fit through doors. And for fun you too can tell the gender of an author in just one paragraph!
*Fox News speaks out against Twilight and Gossip Girl.
*Lady says romance novels are addictive and ruin marriages then the internets explode.
*Some parents want The Wars removed from Grade 12 curriculum. These 'children' are pushing 18. Please, they see worse on TV.
*Atwood's The Blind Assassin chosen for the Twitter book club.
*Donald Sutherland cast as President Snow in Hunger Games movie.
*Etsy Love: Okay now, when I first saw these book charging docks from inbook, I wanted to cry but.... I read their policies and these books have been rescued. So I'm coming around. Take a look at the To Kill a Mockingbird one.
Have a super weekend!
Those rescued book charging stations are ah-mazing. I'm particularly partial to the blue-and-pink Jane Austen one -- oh my! Etsy lust. I haz it.
ReplyDeleteI saw that story about VS Naipaul earlier and thought "what an ass."
ReplyDeleteOooh. I love the charging dock. I want one. Wonder will it work for awhile, or will it quit working right after I buy it? That is very creative and my first time seeing that.
ReplyDeleteI heard about VS Naipaul, what a twit.
ReplyDeleteThat "article" - from Mormon country interestingly enough - about romance novels is rather hilarious. It's not great research either: other studies have shown that women who read romance novels have a better love/sex life at home. And anyway, I don't think anyone takes the books that seriously. I love the bit at the end: do you have an addiction? Here's what you can do to join the real world! Oh it makes me snigger.
