For you book nerds:
"Young adult novels heating up the charts" (The Boston Globe)
I'm joining the bandwagon. Next up on my YA reading list is Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver.
"Unpacking my library" (FT Magazine)
Whenever I visit someone's home for the first time, I look for their book collection. I find writers' home libraries even more fascinating, and FT's article features six of them. Loved seeing Junot Diaz's hoarding habit and Philip Pullman's quote: "Every time I go into town I accidentally buy two or three books." Oops?
FridayReads (fridayreads.com)
From the About section: "FridayReads is a global community of thousands of people who come together each week to share whatever they're reading. Our goal is simple: to raise reading's visibility and encourage more people to join in!" I like the idea of sharing excitement about reading, and FridayReads takes advantage of social media to do just that--via twitter with the hashtag #fridayreads, as well as Facebook and Tumblr. Chances to win prizes (books), if you're into incentives.
Reading Rainbow Performed by Jimmy Fallon as Jim Morrison (from nbc.com)
Don't know about you, but I'm geeking out on all of this stuff right now.
