Ladies On The Shelf

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all. – Oscar Wilde

Why, cello there…

August 22, 2014 by Jessi

Bingo Square: Book That is a Movie in 2014 Book: If I Stay, Gayle Forman Favorite Quote: Adam lay down on my bed, stretching his arms above his head. His whole face was grinning–eyes nose, mouth. “Play me,” he said. “What?” “I want you to play me like a cello.” …Aaaanndd it goes on from there. I’ve never giggled so hard in my life. Yikes.

I went through a little Shakespeare phase in […]

“You are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy. I don’t care how dope his ride is” – Film Fest Friday

April 25, 2014 by Caitlin

Introducing: Film Fest Fridays! Here we’ll bring you a weekly cinematic adaptation of a book and discuss the finer points of “Is the book really better than the movie?”  It’s William Shakespeare’s 450th birthday week, and we thought we’d kick it off with something fun – Shakepearean adaptations. Sure, these are technically re-worked versions of something that is meant to be seen and not read, but Shakes is celebrated as a writer – can’t we appreciate his prose reworked into […]
