Remember how I forgot I had about a million links saved to read on Twitter? Well I’m still chipping away at that. Today I give you some pop culture-y links.
- I didn’t think it was possible to love Daniel Craig more than I already did. But lo! He hates James Bond even more than me and I adore him for being so candid about it. (Sidebar: I was going to start a blog called Sexy But Sexist years ago solely for the purpose of dissecting all of the things that are wrong with James Bond.)
- I want every single one of these Disney Princesses painted in fine art portraits by Heather Theurer. They are stunning.
- Disney Princess Outfit Swaps are surprisingly successful. Except I did a literal step back from my computer at Snow White as Belle in Beauty in the Beast. Reject.
- 29 ridiculous Harry Potter tweets. Related: If you ever want to talk in-depth about Ronbledore I am ready.
- Alice in Wonderland is 150. Here’s everything you never knew about Wonderland. (You also might not know I am very excited about the new Through the Looking Glass movie coming soon!)
- Katherine Howe takes readers on a tour of NYC inspired by her latest novel The Appearance of Annie Van Sidderen.
- I love Taylor Swift both as a musician and a personality. She’s fascinating. This interview with Chuck Klosterman takes that up to eleven. It also makes me remember the brief, brief moment in my life when being a reporter seemed appealing when I first began writing for my college newspaper.
- Speaking of Taylor, here are some Taylor Swift songs paired with YA romances from Book Riot because why not?
- Rainbow Rowell is the best thing to happen to young adult literature in ages according to this article by Genevieve Koski and I think she’s on to something
- Martin Vargic created this phenomenal map of literature. I don’t even really like posters but I want this one as a big old print to hang somewhere. Actually, maybe I should just buy his book.
- I am all for Mallory Ortberg’s plan to expand the cozy mystery genre. Who’s with me?
