The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
I can’t remember ever watching an animated short before. But when this year’s Oscar winner for Best Animated Short Film was about books- well, I really had no choice, did I?
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is incredibly amazing, you guys. Amazing.
It packs so much emotion into 15 minutes. I rarely cry watching videos, yet I found myself tearing up at the end.
Take just 15 minutes to watch it:
If you know a librarian, share this. It will make them feel special.
Sidenote: I now completely want a bed that looks like a book.
Throne of Glass Cover Reveal + 4 Novellas
Bloomsbury just released the cover of Throne of Glass, Sarah J. Maas’ upcoming debut, on the Throne of Glass facebook page.
But!
The fact that she’s standing in a fairly powerful pose and is toting a potentially pain-inducing dagger makes me think she could be completely kick-ass.

Throne of Glass
Three whole months of waiting for a book which was started from this question: What if Cinderella was an assassin, and went to the ball not to dance with the prince, but to kill him? (from Sarah J. Maas’ website)
To tide us over, Bloomsbury is doing something really cool. They’re publishing 4 enovellas that are prequels to the Throne of Glass story.
There are currently three available:
The Assassin and the Pirate Lord
The Assassin and the Desert
The Assassin and the Underworld
The fourth, The Assassin and the Empire, will be coming soon.
I don’t have an ereader and I generally don’t do any reading on my laptop. But these novellas? They’re seriously tempting me.

Blogging has become much more of a hobby than I ever thought it would. It’s fun. The books, the people. I love it.
In a nostalgic moment, I was browsing through my archives and came across three posts:
My thoughts on Wuthering Heights’ (then) new cover was one of the first discussion posts I did. And I got responses! I was somewhat surprised.
I swear, Days of Little Texas is still one of the most bizarre/fascinating books I have ever read.
In a bookstore, I saw The Selection by Keira Cass, which reminded me of my Top Ten Anticipated Reads of 2012. I can’t wait for all of the books on the list to be out!
I saw the following on The Selection FB page and had to share:
