Peter Jackson's 'Hobbit' movies sound like a pair of Lifetime originals → popwatch.ew.com

We’re on board with the titles! And we bet that Tolkien could have written some awesome made-for-TV-movies too if he felt like it.

entertainmentweekly:

Yes, it makes sense for these films to be called An Unexpected Journey and There and Back Again. But don’t you agree that both of those titles would also work for made-for-TV movies about mistreated women gaining confidence and finding love?

Armchair BEA → armchairbea.com

Are you stuck at home this week, far from exciting NYC? Have you been following the coverage of BEA panels, author signings and other events rapaciously? Does the sight of yet another giddy BEA attendee carrying a bulging swag bag send you into a fit of envy?

Well then, it’s a good thing we partnered with Armchair BEA to distribute galleys to book bloggers who didn’t attend the conference, isn’t it?
