- The Island of the Blue Dolphins + Archaeology = Paperblog Nerd
- Having never been to Australia, the Jellicoe Road I constructed in my head stands to be corrected by author girlcrush Melina Marchetta's photographs of what she pictures the Jellicoe scenery to look like - which frankly is so much better than what I pictured (which kind of looked like Simba's backyard meets Crocodile Dundee). Even better? More news about the moooovvieeeeee!
- Have you spent the past week in a yurt in Siberia? Then you probably missed the news that the USA had a big to do about presidents. So naturally, some YA nerds had a big to do about which USA presidents would be in which Divergent factions. Which leads me to ask which houses former USA presidents would be sorted into in Hogwarts? Deep thoughts, guys.
- Oh, hello unrealized childhood dollhouse dream. Meet the greatest Hobbit hole EVER.
- In all the hullaballoo about Boy Meets World making an unnecessary remake, you may have also missed the news that Bridget Jones is making her glorious literary return (and obvi has a case of the Twitters).
- OhEmGee, you guys. The Ron Moore Outlander adaptation got a network; in related news, a tempered slow roll of jazz hands is making it hard to type this out.
- Remember that one time I went to Egypt and mentioned the really uncomfortable harassment women face there? This made my day.
- This little girl's note to Dwell Magazine is a feminist masterpiece. Also great? The photos of the over-girlification of toys at the bottom of the story. Bring back that first Lego ad!
- Guys, confession time. I have no idea why I find this very silly SNL video as funny as I do. BUT I DO. Someone please explain it to me; I'll be over here sloppy shuffling away.
Once upon a time, there was a fabulous teen librarian who liked to read and to cook about as much as she loved to travel, and nearly as much as she loved a case of the terribles and her crusty sidekick, Le Creuset...
