Friday Bookish Buzz: Hit and Run Buzz

Pin It

funny pictures - Stephen King's Can Opener

Based on a true story! Haha!

I've got to run, already, and it's not even 9am. To the dentist! But before I go here are some bookish links to read with your coffee.

*So....JK Rowling is writing a book- for grown ups!

*Lawrence Hill wins the Freedom to Read award, which reminds me that I need to read Book of Negroes.

*And.... Freedom to Read Week is next week, February 26-March 3. Celebrate your freedom to read.

*A woman pleads guilty to stealing library books and DVDs to sell online.

*Is "chick lit" dying? I'd say we're not buying just any old thing. There is good chick lit and bad. Maybe we're catching onto the bad and saying No!

*This author is a hero: he'll spoil his series for a dying fan.

*Are big time authors posting reviews on Yelp? And you must click through to the Cormac Tumblr. Hours of entertainment there.

*An underground library movement? See the Freedom to Read links at the top of this post.

*Etsy Love: Are you a bibliomaniac? Let everyone know with this Vintage Dictionary pendant from Robbie Jenkins?

Have a good one!

  1. I love the bibliophile pendant! Also, that boy with cancer getting the book made me tear up. It's just awesome.

  2. Oh, that made me tear up, too. What a thoughtful friend and how cool of the author to call.
