Yesterday we reported the EMILY AND EINSTEIN/Pussycat Doll/Sundance sighting. Well, the celeb-and-book snapshots keep rolling in. Christopher McDonald of Boardwalk Empire fame and the adorable LA Dodger, Andre Either, were both caught wandering the theatres with a copy of THE TRIAL by Larry D. Thompson.

We're in the middle of a book-lovers' dance party over here. Get in on this.*
Best lyrics eva:
I'm at the library where they call me a crook
I never even pay for my library books.
I take them from the shelves and if anyone looks I say,
I'm reading a book, man. I'm reading a book.

Sundance. We may be book people, but if you're anything like me you've been keeping your ears perked for news from the largest independent film festival in the US. And what to my surprise should I come across? A little gem from the paparazzi: EMILY AND EINSTEIN by Linda Francis Lee in the hands of a Pussycat Doll! To this questionably newsworthy turn of events all we have to say is, happy reading, pussycat!

It is Day #1 without Ben.
BUT,
he's at his desk right now cleaning... so his departure yesterday was pretty anti-climactic. Well he's only moving to the 14th floor... so there's that.
Still feeling bad for me? Should I talk about some books? I'm still too depressed to talk about books.

For those in need of a good laugh, and with a minute or two to spare, I submit Better Book Titles. It's my favorite new blog -- definitely one to add to the RSS feed!
I sat here for a minute, trying to come up with a witty new title for a book I've read, and came up with something maybe decent, then remembered that I'm a dork and no one would have read the book. So I'll spare you. But check out the blog!

Admit it. You love Sarah Palin. Little Brown did a fantastic book trailer promoting 100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer's. It's very funny.
While we're on the topic of our favorite red-skirt-suit wearing politician, you should check out The Lies of Sarah Palin. It's out February 1st, 2010, from St. Martin's Press.
