A few things that caught my eye today:
21 Of The Coolest Book Covers This Year from the Huffington Post. I love book design. I’m love it more and more as time goes by, and it seems that the push to the digital is bringing out some of the best in physical book design.
Three things you didn’t know were related: Communism, Hypnotism & The Beatles – Awful Library Books once again is full of WIN.
Should JK Rowling write another Harry Potter? NO! Why is this even a question? Why, in this age, do we insist on beating ideas to death?
And finally, in the interests of cute…

Wook at dah widdle widdle o-possumy o-wossumy! Weirdly, this would never happen in New Zealand. We’re inundated with the pests. But those ears! They are rockin’.
BTW, in case you are wondering I’m currently reading The Paper Garden by Molly Peacock, which is quite awesome but is taking me a while to read. I will be reviewing it though and you will be thankful!
So, catch me up to date with how you are all doing and what you are all reading?
Currently reading Lonely Werewolf Girl by Martin Millar (as recommended by Neil Gaiman). Enjoying it more than The Good Fairies of New York by Mr Millar (which is fortunate because it’s quite a bit thicker!) – it’s quite silly and fun.
Yay, silly and fun is good!
I finally got round to reading Ghostwritten by David Mitchell which must mean that, as I read Cloud Atlas first and then Black Swan Green and now this, I have read him backwards as it were! Am finding parts of it much more disturbing bedtime-reading than Cloud Atlas tho a similar writing style with the “apparently” unrelated chapters. Particularly not enjoying the Holy Mountain chapter but am hoping she gets her own back big-time on all the horrible men in her life.
I cuddled a wombat in Bateman’s Bay recently which is also very cute but HUGE!!!!!!
It’s been a while since I’ve read Ghostwritten but yes I think I remember the parts you mean! And yes it would be a little more disturbing than Cloud Atlas!
Oh the Huge Wombat!
Currently reading my way through 29 student dissertations. Often silly, but not fun…
Waiting for the day when I finally finish are “The Magician’s Apprentice” by Trudi Canavan, and “And then there was no one” by Gilbert Adair. For something completely different.
Now that is too weird, I am also reading Ghostwritten … think am a bit further along though
Well, it’s not too weird – it is a VERY good book! (Don’t you think)
Definitely an excellent read! …..can see my weekend being dominated by reading outages – which can’t be a bad thing
