Welcome to another edition of Sunday Links, in which I do all the sifting and internet-ing so you don't have to
On the blog:
March Fantasy Month continued as I reviewed the absolutely fantastic middle grade fantasy, The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen.
I listed the top ten books I HAD to buy... but are still sitting on my shelf unread, and then everybody yelled at me for not reading The Book Thief, including author Victoria Scott on Twitter!
I explained why I love re-reading, and asked you whether you were pro-re-reading or con.
And lastly, I reviewed Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder.
Around the interwebs:
20 Embarrassingly Bad Covers for Classic Novels. The one for The Turn of the Screw is hilariously literal and the ones for Cranford and Anne of Green Gables make me want to DIE and OH MY GOD I just saw what they did to The Wizard of Oz and I am speechless (via Flavorwire)
