In keeping with my new (accidental) habit of posting a book-related video once a week, I give you Christopher Walken, circa 1993, reading “The Three Little Pigs.” So happy I stumbled upon this on Jezebel yesterday. Happy Sunday!

A few months ago, my good friend and business partner Bethanne Patrick announced that she would be editing a new version of “The Shelf,” one geared to readers and filled with book reviews, author interviews, and extras to enrich your reading life.
Shelf Awareness: Enlightenment for Readers is out today. Sign up to receive free biweekly emails (on Tuesdays and Fridays) that will have your TBR teetering in no time.
