Friday Bookish Buzz Is Not Looking Forward to Winter

Pin It

That sums up any teenager around here. I was like that myself when I was a teen. We’re impervious to cold as young Canadians. Thank goodness we haven’t had any snow yet. I can wait for the cold weather, thanks.

*Hold on to something, Ladies! The Outlander series is a little closer to becoming a real thing.

*I thought Canadian book prices were crazy. Sarah looks at prices of books in a Australian bookstore. Australia you have my sympathies.

*Edith Wharton gets her copy of Jane Eyre back.

*If you're like me and have seen those Penguin postcards (and love them), but have no idea what you would do with them, here’s a cool art project from How About Orange.

*So Lord Byron’s copy of Frankenstein was sold.

*In case you missed it yesterday, here’s Google’s tribute to Bram Stoker.

*The origins of some fairy tales would put the writer’s of Saw to shame.

*Not Another Twilight Fan Fiction Novel.

*Etsy Love: This is some interesting art, Quote on Canvas from Stoic Designs.

Before I go, I just want to add some Shameless Self-Promotion. Today I’m over at The Estella Society trying to hook up Edmund Dantes with a lady. Go see who.

Have a good one!

  4. Hellls yeah I'm 100% for shipping classic characters.

    I live in CO and I hate the cold. :( Once it gets below 50 I put on the sweaters and hide in the house.

    Teens are the same around here! I'm in northern Wisconsin (practically Canada) My youngest daughter was sporting shorts and a sweatshirt yesterday. Weird kids ;)

  7. Thanks for your sympathies re book prices. I know lots of us Aussie bloggers have mentioned it before but I am not sure if everyone could quite believe how expensive they really are!
