Friday Bookish Buzz Won’t Shock You

Pin It

Whatever that cat saw, it was shocking. Nothing too shocking in the bookish buzz, I don’t think. Hopefully you’ll find it interesting though.

*The Vida report is out for 2012 and it ain’t looking good.

*Why literary fiction isn’t sexy.

*New and interesting covers for classic books.

*You might want to marry these literary characters but they’d still leave dirty socks on the floor.

*Joss Whedon and Shakespeare? Yes. Watch the trailer.

*Grab your bags, we’re taking a trip. A list of the world’s greatest bookstores.

*Okay, ladies (and gentlemen too), here’s Catching Fire’s Peeta.

*Etsy Love: Express your adoration for someone with this True Literary Love print from Organic Bird.

Have a good weekend!

  1. The VIDA report is depressing but not really shocking you know?

    And Whedon's Shakespeare is something I'm still wrapping my mind around.

  2. The whole marrying a fictional character thing is a bit odd. People always seem to pick horrible men! I do think Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables would make a good husband though!

  3. Ha! Peeta can TRY to be sexy. And not really pull it off.

  4. Wow, those bookstores are awesome. The penguin covers are interesting - some I like, some are not that good! And really, people would marry Legolas? Ok, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, yes! but the elf himself has a wandering heart.....where is Mr Darcy on this list? Lovely set of Bookish stuff, thanks, Chris!

  5. Gale would've made a much better poster. Peeta had to sit down so his shortness isn't so obvious. ;-p

  6. I was unsure about the idea of Joss Wheldon doing Shakespeare (as mush as I love Buffy), the trailer has not convinced me, but I'll probably still see it.
