Some stories are meant to be explored beyond their pages. Whether this means they are adapted for stage or screen, I firmly believe that book adaptations can not only provide an entertaining experience for their readers (provided they are done well) but can also reach a wide audience of potential new bookworms. However, my favourite
I came across this treasure while reading an article about the Canadian born author Aviva Reimer. Who doesn’t want to become ‘The Total Package?’ “Becoming The Total Package” covers every topic imaginable to make your life a better place to be. Not only is Ms. Reimer an excellent writer, but she actually knows about each
It’s time! Some people see Valentine’s Day as a day of love and hearts and the perfect opportunity to celebrate Library Lovers Day. Still others find it the ideal day to talk about all the things that go bump in the night. But perhaps it’s worth combining all of those things into one and highlighting

Posted by BookPage on October 04, 2019 The movie version of the popular TV drama “Downton Abbey” is out in theaters. If you can’t get enough upstairs/downstairs drama, read on for books that can help. If you enjoy . . . the exploration of the effects of WWI on society then you should read . .
While the breakout star of The Mandalorian was definitely The Child, I think we can all agree that Gina Carano as Cara Dune also captured our hearts, especially once we found out she was Carasynthia Dune of Alderaan. Knowing she’s a survivor of a world that no longer exists adds dimension to the ex–rebel shock trooper
Love enters our lives in multitudinous forms—family, friendship, passion, even (though not preferable) obsession. The Harry Potter series depicts this multifaceted nature of love, sometimes with true gravity, oftentimes quite humorously. It’s always a bit of a kick for me to revisit these ruminations on love, because each moment (whether poignant, absurd, or heartbreaking) is
When I was in elementary school in the ’90s, lots of books had the trope of two characters switching bodies. My cursory Internet research suggests that this trend has declined in popularity since 2000. Most people probably remember Freaky Friday, Mary Rodgers’s 1972 children’s novel that was adapted into plays, TV series, and movies several
Memoir is a nonfiction genre that I never paid much attention to. I felt like I never really wanted to read about lives that I had no connection to. I have tried to read memoirs in the past and they just did not sit well in my reading life. Perhaps the writing was just bad
There’s no doubt that librarians are some of the best people in the world. They are well read, harbingers of information, and creators of safe spaces. They maintain and teach technology, host gamer battles, sponsor workshops on making podcasts and curating websites and much more. Librarians organize databases and community events. Not to mention they
It is no secret that I LOVE to read aloud. If you’ve known me for more than five minutes, chances are I’ve read to you. Luckily for me, my work as a literacy professor offers me opportunities to read to future and current teachers, as well as to parents and children on occasion. On February
If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan, maybe you’ve probably got a Gandalf-style cloak stashed away in your closet, or own 67 different editions of the book (yup, guilty) or have your favorite lines memorized. So obviously, what you (or your LOTR-loving bestie/sweetheart/kid/parent/etc.) need now is some beautiful Lord of the Rings earrings. From
Ah, Valentine’s Day. The time for bleeding hearts, spilling your emotional guts, and making ourselves vulnerable to new experiences. However, sometimes admitting your feelings for someone seems more terrifying than facing up to a shadowy figure with a chainsaw. So, if you’re too nervous to go out on that date, or want a thrilling ride
I don’t often write posts covering one book. Book Riot isn’t a review site: we’re interested in your reading life and adjacent subjects, not on putting value judgments on whatever it is sparks joy when it enters your eyeballs (provided whatever that is doesn’t hurt anyone else). Every so often, however, a very special book—an
Posted by Lily, Associate Editor on December 17, 2018 When a rumor recently surfaced that Netflix was pulling “Friends” from its lineup at the end of the year, Twitter collectively lost its mind. No need to panic yet (Netflix has the rights to the ’90s phenomenon till the end of 2019), but the uproar proved
Posted by Savanna, Assistant Editor on December 13, 2018 This is always one of my favorite posts to put together—who wouldn’t want to gaze at shirtless men and glorious gowns? But this year’s list was particularly fun in that the noble art of the romance cover has been going through a much-noticed evolution, which is
