Oh Snap!

Thought this was too funny not to share. {Sartorialist fans, I mean no ill-will. I’m a Sart-y fan myself.}

The Fourth

Time to get your patriotism on — with sparklers + good barbecue + iced lemonade! Happy 233rd, America.

Books of Literary Merit

Here are some books I might actually read purely based on the cover. Yes {I am this pathetic}, after being burnt-out from rigorous “advanced” English classes from middle school through high school {curse you Camus!} and all 5 English Lit classes in college {curse you Joyce!}, this is now what piques my interest in reading books. {Brain don’t fail me now!}

Classic with a Twist:
Pride & Prejudice + Zombies

pride_prejudice_zombies{And I’m not even a Twilight/Evil Dead fanatic either.}

Eco-friendly stunner:
Worldchanging: A User’s Guide to the 21st Century

worldchanging_a_users_guide{Pretty bird, pretty bird…}

Quirky memoirs:
When You Are Engulfed in Flames

when_you_are_engulfed_in_flames{Um, starting to notice a theme here…}

And if these books end up being mindblowingly dull, then at least they’ll look good on my bookcase shelves, right?
