How to Throw a Virtual Bookish Party
In this time of quarantine and social distancing, it can be easy to lose track of the day of the week – or the last time you called your best friend.

Because we all know how wonderful it is to make → Read More
Book Recommendations for Tahani Al-Jamil from The Good Place
The Good Place is reaching the end of its run.

(Have you listened to The Good Place: The Podcast? It’s amazing.) And while we could spend all day listing our favorite Good Place moments – um, basically → Read More
Literary Roles We’d Love to See Regina King Play
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Regina King is amazing. And if this is a truth you haven’t yet accepted, go watch If Beale Street Could Talk and the new HBO series Watchmen back to back. She’s incredible! We didn’t really need an excuse to celebrate her, but it’s her birthday so we’re going all out. And because we know she loves to take on literary role – see, → Read More
Book Recommendations for the Newest Decade of Roaring ‘20s
We’ve all seen the memes. Those GIFs of Leonardo DiCaprio toasting the camera in his Jay Gatsby best, accompanied by some variation on the phrase “The roaring ‘20s are back!” But what if we weren’t living in an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel? What if, spoiler alert, we weren’t huge fans of dying? It’s 2020 and we’re here to definitively say: your decade does not need to be roaring. → Read More

Humor Books by Funny Women
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is back this week and to say we’re excited would be a serious understatement.

These are our absolute favorite humor books by women – → Read More

Literary Roles of Benedict Cumberbatch

If Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise Swapped Movies
[source: Access Hollywood] We’ve all done it. A friend will mention their excitement about the Tom Hanks helmed Mr. Rogers movie that’s in preproduction and our mind immediately puts Tom Cruise in that signature cardigan.

Book Recommendations for Our Favorite Chris Pratt Characters
[source: Glamour] It’s Chris Pratt’s birthday on June 21 and all we want to do is sit around and binge Parks and Rec all day. But that would be ignoring his greater canon.

So instead of playing Mouse Rat’s greatest hits until our brains explode, we’re sharing some Chris Pratt-specific book recommendations.… → Read More
