The Hunger Games Trailer... very good stuff here. So excited for this movie. My guess is, you've probably watched it a gazillion times by now, but if you haven't, it's time to click on over and watch NOW. From this first impression feel, the casting seems pretty good...except for Peeta, but I'm willing to give him chance. Just not how I pictured him, you know?!
Markus Zusak lists his Top Ten favorite book characters... included on the list.... Mr. Collins from P and P (wait, WHAT?) and Sam-I-Am. Click on over to see who else is on there. One thing is sure, I've added Gilbert Grape to my want-to-read mental list... again.
Brodi Ashton, author of Everneath, worries that while her blog is funny, her book is not. Really, it's okay. I say you CAN write a funny blog AND a heart wrenching book. Yes, you can.
Neal Shusterman writes a beautiful blog post about his mom.... beware, you may weep just a bit.
The Story Siren, blogger extraordinaire, reminds us what NOT to do on our blogs. Great reminder here. I hope I'm in compliance.
John Green, once again, makes a video that makes me smile. In this one he lists his five favorite zombie apocalypses. Did I tell you? I just don't get zombies, but he makes me want to. Sort of. Maybe.
Josh sings "Smile" as a tribute to all those Regis has interviewed in his career, that have passed on. Goosebumps and maybe even a tear or two...... oh wait, did I say bookish links? Oops!
There's probably more, but I can't remember them, so this is it for now.
What did YOU find interesting this week? (Bookish or not.)
Hmmm, I'm thinking I don't spend enough time just perusing the internet. The Markus Zusak thing was fun...I, of course, haven't read most of the books he mentioned. Argh!
ReplyDeleteI can always count on you for awesome Zusak links! I love it. I thought the John Green video was hilarious too.
ReplyDeleteJenny, we need to get busy and read all these so we can know what he's talking about!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, yes, I've I come across cool Zusak links, you know I'll share! John Green too. However, I find every video John Green does to be so much fun, that I have to calm and not post every single one.
