Silly Lit
Oh, Mr. Bates
Spoken in Anna’s Irish brogue from Downton Abbey: Also: who watched Youtube videos from Downton Abbey’s Christmas special (which already aired in England): this girl! Who knows how everything ends? Oh yeah, you guessed it. Plus, what’s up Season 3! I’m really bad at suspense. But don’t worry; this picture doesn’t give anything away. It’s [...]
Awkward moment
Um, yeah. Awkward. Joel told me about this after we watched HP6 the other night, but seeing it…yeah. First thought: Why is Rupert Grint wearing a shirt with what looks like Daniel Radcliffe on it? Second thought: Do these guys seriously hang out together in frat basements?
Greatest Christmas card ever
I have such creative friends who are as obsessed with Harry Potter as I am:
Reason No. 4578967 I love real books
From a friend’s Facebook status: On the line with tech support for my nook, gotta love when things screw up!! Yeah, you see when you use real things called BOOKS, there’s absolutely no reason for you to call tech support. They really can’t break. There can never be any hard drive problems.

These are all important members of my reading vocabulary, and how I choose which books to read and review. Maybe I’m snobby, but whatever. These are my tastes, and there’s not much I can do about it. Occasionally, I [...]
A blog for the bookish ladies out there
I’ve heard of a lot of Tumblr blogs titled along the lines of “Hot Girls (insert some inane activity that guys like to guffaw over).” For instance, “Hot Chicks Eating Pizza.” Yeah, guys can’t get enough of…pizza, apparently. Anyway, now there’s a tumblr blog for the ladies who desire the full enchilada: hot guys, who [...]
WATCH THIS: The Brontë Sisters Power Dolls!
There are no words for this video…except maybe BRONTËSAURUS! (Thanks to The Little Professor for turning me onto this)
Literary characters and their modern day, tabloid equivalents
I came across this story on Flavorpill today, and thought it absolutely hilarious: literary characters & their modern day, tabloid equvalents. If only to live in a time when the lives of great literary characters are discussed in our gossip mills—and by “great,” I mean to exclude any and all of the Twilight characters. I’m [...]
