The Friday Bookish Buzz: Flying February

Pin It

funny pictures - I hate to tell you this Human, but you're a bit behind on your holidays.

Silly human!

So, how was your week? February is flying by in a flash. Valentine's Day was here and gone already. Hopefully that will mean spring will get here quicker.

Here's a bit of book news to cap off your week.

*Franzen thinks Edith Wharton wasn't attractive enough? Zombie Edith needs to kick some ass.

*I don't care what anyone says, I love Sophie Kinsella.

*Amanda Knox gets a book deal.

*Good news! The library in Slave Lake, destroyed by fire, has reopened.

*Dirty letters from authors. Joyce's is really, really gross.

*The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, loves to read. Maybe The Uncommon Reader should have been about her.

*Counting the books: The National Reading Campaign.

*Etsy Love: Some Penguin(ish) Book Earrings from Coryographies.

Have a great weekend!

  1. It is not so much wanting spring to get here, as hoping for a period in time where it is nice and it doesn't rain endlessly. I am starting to think we get a monsoon season now.

  2. Agh! Joyce! What the what?! So the last thing I ever expected to read on a Friday night.

  3. I haven't read Franzen, yet, and this last few weeks he has so totally turned me off that I'm starting to doubt I ever will. Love Sophie Kinsella. Her books are rays of light.

  4. Oh my goodness - those love letters made me puke... Joyce will forever be a challenging author for me I guess.

  5. Sounds like Joyce and Nora covered all the bases!

    I think Edith Wharton looked great and Jonathan Franzen is only so-so.
