When I go up through the mowing field

Anne of Green Gables is featured in a blog post at Publisher's Weekly called When a Cover Can Ruin a Book. My god, that cover is awful. The points in the post are excellent, too. I've seen criticism about the new cover for Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar as well.

I am enjoying all the hoopla surrounding Pride and Prejudice's anniversary. One of the best is the January 17 discussion on BBC's Arts & Ideas program (podcast available here). There's a modernized adaptation of P&P in a vlog format called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. I've watched the first episode and found it engaging, but I'm waiting for the end to dive in.
