That's pretty much how things look at my house, only replace the cat with a girl.

If you haven't already heard, Amy @ MyFriendAmy is now excepting nominations for Book Bloggers Appreciation Week (Sept 14-18). If you have a favorite book blogger, remember to nominate them in their category.

Kelly @ The Novel Bookworm, July 17, 2009 9:25 AM: I have GOT to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, just so I can read Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters!

My kid is a big Miley fan, I'm sure we'll be seeing that movie!
bermudaonion, July 17, 2009 9:48 AM: My son was just telling me about the stink with British authors yesterday so I was glad to read that article. Thanks!
Amy, July 17, 2009 10:46 AM: I rea P&P&Z and loved it, but S&S&SM is by a different author, so I wonder if it'll be as good.

I'd like to read the last Anne of Green Gables book, although after spending last summer reading L.M. Montgomery's heartrending diaries, I'm not sure I'm ready for it yet.
Nymeth, July 17, 2009 5:42 PM: I LOVE the Alice in Wonderland bookmark! You always find such cool things on Etsy :)
Carrie K, July 17, 2009 5:45 PM: Noooo, not sea monsters! lol.

There are days I feel like that cat.
Suey, July 17, 2009 7:50 PM: Interesting regarding Miley and Wings.

And I just don't get the thing with the zombies and sea monsters mixing it up with Jane Austen stuff.
Carrie K., July 18, 2009 1:49 AM: I'm not thrilled with the Miley casting. I like her, but she's not at all what I pictured for Laurel.
Kim L, July 21, 2009 12:01 AM: Hmmm... that book trailer is certainly interesting, but I'm still not exactly sure what I think about the concept of the "turn classic literature into supernatural adventures" trend. I should really read them first, but I just love Austen so much, I don't know if I'll enjoy seeing her novels turned extremely silly.
