Covering Covers

The other night Silas and I were up late, in our separate rooms, texting and laughing hysterically at Kindle Cover Disasters. And then he made me laugh until I cried. Happy Friday everyone!

If you're itching for more in the same vein, go read the Cover Snark posts by Christina @ A Reader of Fictions. I die every time.

Fashion by the Book || Belzhar, The Hobbit, 1984

I'm going to go ahead and say that after putting together last week's Fashion by the Book post, I became addicted. {Note: If you don't subscribe to the Fashion by the Book tumblr, which gave me this inspiration, you should.} My boyfriend saw me having so much fun with it that he said I should start a similar tumblr, using movie posters instead of books. Brilliant idea! Take a peek: filmfashions.tumblr.com. But back to the bookishness! Vote for your favorite at the end :)

Fashion by the Book || The Walls Around Us

One of my favorite book blogs is Fashion by the Book. This blog is raising the assumptions that you may have of book nerds not having a fashion sense. Seriously, everything that LauraElisabeth puts together is something that I both would never think of and immediately want to wear. I don't have a very good sense of style or a clothing budget, but I love coveting those outfits.

Making outfits based on book covers looks like it's something fun to do, so I downloaded the Polyvore app on my phone, decided on a beautiful book cover, and had a blast. It's really easy to use, and is as fun as it looks. I'll probably make more of these in the future. Thanks for the inspiration and possible new addiction, LauraElisabeth!

#bookspo: Science Fiction Edition

I stumbled on these images from the British Library, and it made me want to read more H.P. Lovecraft, George Orwell, and Jules Verne (it may be time to re-read Douglas Adams too). Thankfully, the BBC has lots of sci-fi radio dramas available online. Happy reading! (or listening!)
