  1. ENDER’S GAME — Trailer (by SummitScreeningRoom)

    Asa Butterfield, is that really you?

“My local library branch started doing this “Blind Date with a Book” thing, thought you guys might like it. The shelf was full when we got there, but was like this as we were leaving. The books are wrapped in paper and have different designs on them, and then a few words vaguely describing the subject matter of the book. Things like “Drama”, “Plot Twists”, “espionage”, etc. The only thing exposed on the book is the barcode that you use to scan the book out. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.”



Sometimes marketing is not a bad thing at all. 

Ha! Great idea! aaknopf:

    I’m sure many of y’all have seen the charming photos of Maddie the coonhound and have fallen in love with her and her adventures as much as I have. If you didn’t know already, she now has a book available for pre-order on Amazon.com and her and Theron will be traveling around the US (again!) on a book tour starting this Friday. 

    AW-dorable. Follow their book tour here

    Really ingenious of Sesame Street’s social media team to bring back a classic with a modern twist!

  10. Penguin English Library - Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (by penguinbooks)

    Love this animation director Woof Wan-Bau did for Penguin English Library. Everything Penguin touches is gold. 

  11. "You cannot pretend to read a book. Your eyes will give you away. So will your breathing. A person entranced by a book simply forgets to breathe. The house can catch alight and a reader deep in a book will not look up until the wall paper is in flames."

     - Lloyd Jones, Mister Pip  (via thatkindofwoman)

  12. "We read, frequently if not unknowingly, in search of a mind more original than our own."

     - Legendary literary critic Harold Bloom in How to Read and Why, a fine addition to these 9 books to help you read and write better. (via explore-blog)
