Cool Bookish Things You Want

Zipmark Bookmarks You can purchase it here.
tel aviv-based peleg design studio has developed 'zipmark', a bookmark made in the shape of a zipper. the thought process for the creation is influenced by the re-interpretation of 'opening' up a textile bag, into the idea of opening your book. produced using polypropylene, the small page-marker comes in blue, red and green colors specifically conceived to fit most types of book sizes and thicknesses.

From the website:
"Here's a wonderful gift idea for the booklovers! These bookmarks are placed between the pages of a book to mark the reader's place. The creative design featuring words that appear on the fore-edge gives the marking an extra special meaning. The bookmarks come in the following captions: TO BE CONTINUEDBE RIGHT BACK PAUSE GREAT BOOK! YOU ARE HERE"

These are bookmarks that go along with some classics reads. They are pretty much perfect. I would love to see more, like a Cheshire Cat tail or a piece of rye.
You can find out more about them here.

Book and Blog News

Over at Read Now Sleep Later Alethea wrote up a great post about the shame and stigma that revolves around YA books and how some authors take it hard being categorized for Young Adult when that was not their intention.

Nicole at WORD for Teens did a great post on illegal ebook downloading and why things aren't always black and white. If you haven’t paid for a book and it isn’t available in the public domain, downloading it without paying is wrong. You’re stealing. That’s what I think. But my easy-breezy, beautiful black-and-white ethical pronouncements get grey if you’ve paid for the book in one form and expect to get it in another form for free when the industry hasn’t caught up with your changing reading habits yet.

Publishers Weekly has released their Best Books of 2012. There are some great titles on their list so you can check that out here.

And in case you haven't caught up with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries yet... DARCY!

Lizzie Bennet - Pride and Prejudice - Other News

If you haven't already heard of/become obsessed with the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, you can watch the first episode below. You should set aside at least 30 minutes to make an ample dent in the series, because you won't want to stop watching once you start. 

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
 It was created and executive produced by Hank Green and Bernie Su.

What that means is that this web series is bloody brilliant! I have not read Pride and Prejudice in years (if I ever did...did I?) but I can tell you just as Sherlock played by Benedict Cumberbatch made me want to pick up and read/reread Arthur Conan Doyle this series makes me desperate to squeeze in a read of this classic, and maybe other Austen works as well. So check it out...now.

In other news, Forever by Judy Blume is now available in ebook form! YAY! So if you haven't read it yet, now you have no excuse.

Beth Revis' Across the Universe series got a new makeover recently and if you haven't seen them yet...

now you have. I'm not sure if I love them or not. I'm pretty sure I do, except I really loved the first Across the Universe cover. These ones do look very nice, and I'm sure I will be rebuying the ones I have so that it looks all nicey-nice on my shelf. What you do guys think of the new covers?

Neil Gaiman just signed a multi-book deal with Harpercollins, so YAY!

I guess that's all the news I have to share with you guys for now, so if there are other exciting things happening, leave them in the comments :)
