Bookish Swag

It's always fun to come across book-themed items. Not that this would thrill the heart of a librarian or anything...

Here are two recent posts from Book Riot, one on bookish patches and one on bookish magnets.

Swoon.

Patch from MTthreadz - Etsy

Magnet from BookWormStickerCo-Etsy

Who Was? Series to Hit Netflix

I hope you're ready, fans of the Who Was? book series...because there's a new show hitting Netflix this month based on the bestselling biographies!

According to the Netflix website: "Fresh voices bring some of the most famous names in history to life. A live-action sketch comedy show based on the series of best-selling books."  

From the looks of the trailer, viewers should be ready for some high-energy, goofy fun.  (And with guest stars like Ellie Kemper and H. Jon Benjamin, I'm guessing they'll have no trouble delivering on that promise.)

The books are already pretty popular, but maybe we'll be seeing a spike in the circulation numbers after the new show debuts?  Only time will tell...

Watch the trailer here!

• Sucking the Fun Out

After all that heady stuff, a little fun from the Ohio State marching band! Harry Potter is in the middle of the performance:
