The Barnes and Noble leatherbound classics are on sale for $12 this weekend and it took all my restraint not to buy all of them.

(I just really want a nice copy of FRANKENSTEIN okay)

(And possibly all the books by the Bronte sisters)

Want to collaborate on a Google Doc with Nietzsche, Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Dickinson, Dickens and Poe?

Click here. Start typing. Enjoy the hilarity.

Ninja Update: Wanna see something fun? Mention Shakespeare in a sentence and see what happens.

Dickens and Dickinson had a fight over the expression ‘What the Dickens’.

ALSO LEAVE POE ALONE HE HAD A HARD LIFE.

Shakespeare adds the adjectives “handsome and lovely” before his name.

This is so perfect.

We found my (young) English professor on Facebook. He posts status updates with quotes from my classmates, as well as grammatically incorrect emails he gets from freshmen in his 121 class.

(I don’t think he realizes his Facebook is public.)

We’re reading Death Note in my graphic novels class and the best part of yesterday’s lecture was watching everyone’s face when the prof mentioned that the story is essentially Faustian, and thus not super original.

Crestfallen. Every single person.

JUST REVEALED - the official ALLEGIANT cover! Only 165 more days until ALLEGIANT hits stores! http://bit.ly/18w60ov

LOOK at it. Isn’t it gorgeous? Joel Tippie at HarperCollins is the creative force behind this cover, and he is so talented and always works so hard to get everything just right. (Also a shout out to Amy Ryan and Barb Fitzsimmons, also at Harper— you guys are awesome!) I have been so fortunate to get three covers that I love. I couldn’t be happier with this one and I can’t wait to see all three books lined up on my shelf!

A short note about that symbol: no, it is not a faction symbol. It is, however, a symbol that appears in the book. I can’t really share more than that— you’ll have to read it for yourself! (I can’t wait for that either!)

(Also, yes, that is O’Hare at the bottom. Can’t say more about that either! AHH!)

If you missed my Today show interview with Ryan Seacrest in which we reveal the cover for the first time, you can watch it here: http://www.today.com/video/today/51828575

I need this book in my liiiife.

Doctor Who - 07x11 - The Crimson Horror

I enjoyed this week’s episode of Doctor Who (finally! this season has been sub par). The funny bits were actually funny!

Read Me: An Anthology: Booktube - Youtube, only better:

readmeanthology:

Never heard of Booktube? Me neither. But don’t worry, Leena’s here to explain it all.

Dear World,

Yes, Booktube is a thing. It may not be a very big thing to start out with, but it is a thing none the less. A thing that I suspect will become a bigger thing the longer it is a thing.
