It's Friday! Also know as that day where I slat together some links and call it a post! So, let's read and watch things on the internet until it's the weekend!
We love flow charts here at FYA. So we thought we’d share this nifty summer reading flow chart that has been making the rounds of the internet this week. I don’t particularly agree with all the recommendations, but it’s a fun graphic.
Where would the world be without our requisite NYTimes trend pieces about about that “crazy” YA book market?? Yesterday’s "newest" article is about publishers repackaging classic novels with “hip” new covers that they hope will appeal to teens. Now, these watercolored lovelies I can get behind. But tank-top Romeo? Hurls.
So, did you know that like, nearly EVERY EPISODE of READING RAINBOW is on youtube??!! YOU’RE WELCOME.
Look, LeVar Burton goes to a Renaissance Festival! Just like I do sometimes.
Normally the Broadway scene isn't on our radar, but you’ll agree that this is very important news. Magic Mike (set to win a lifetime achievement award for its work in bringing so many abs to the silver screen) only came out today, but it looks like it could already be headed for a musical adaptation. YES PLEASE. And on the other side of the pond, it looks like the Spice Girls are finally getting a musical based around their songs. About damn time! And if it’s anything like the Queen musical, then it will be a glorious shit show.
Now, the ladies of FYA typically have mixed feelings when it comes to book trailers. But this...now this is a book trailer. Posh Deluxe’s friend (and wedding officiant!) Owen Egerton wrote a book (mother fucker) and he wants to tell you about it:
And finally, some words of wisdom for you all. If you have any lost materials at your library...better bring them back or pay those fines! Otherwise, you could end up in jail like this woman. And much much worse, you could forever be immortalized in a newspaper article about how you went to jail for not turning in your copy of Twilight. Don’t be that person!
That's all we have for you this week, but please feel free to share your links in the comments!
