The Best Bookish Giveaways of October

What is the Fassbender Scale, you ask?

Let’s examine this casting as an example. 

Character: Edward Rochester in Jane Eyre, adapted from the novel by Charlotte Brontë

Book description: “I recognised his decisive nose, more remarkable for character than beauty; his full nostrils, denoting, I thought, choler; his grim mouth, chin, and jaw—yes, all three were very grim, and no mistake.”

Verdict: This is a hot man playing an ugly man, simple as that. Queens would abandon their thrones to hole up in a country estate with Fassbender’s Rochester. 

Rating: 5

Glom Talks: Litsy Co-Founder Todd Lawton On How Social Media Has Changed The Way We Read

Glommable: Many have always considered reading a solitary experience, but this app feeds into young readers’ urges to document their progress and share with friends. Do you think this urge is a recent development of social media, or has there always been this innate desire to share?

Todd Lawton: We like to say that the second best thing about reading a book is talking about it. I think this has held true for as long as we’ve had books to read. The ease and reach of social media takes the conversation to a different level. What I love about Litsy is that it doesn’t matter at what point of the book you find yourself, where you are, or who you are around, when you have something to say about a book you can say it on Litsy.  It’s an always-present reading companion.

Hey Anna fans...THE FIRST EXCERPT FROM SCRAPPY LITTLE NOBODY IS LIVE!!!! We call it: “He’s just not that interesting.” 

The summer I turned 21, I dated a musician named Connor. Well, I thought he was a musician and that we were dating. He thought he was a screenwriter who occasionally played music and that we were “hooking up and not labeling things because labels cause drama.” He was 28 and something of an introvert. I took this to mean that he was deep and artistic and probably judged me for talking as much as I do. Once we broke up, I realized it just meant that he was kind of boring—and probably judged me for talking as much as I do.

But before that, I actually had conversations with friends that sounded like this: “Do you think I’m coming across as overeager?”

“Maybe? Why don’t you just not call him for a while and wait for him to get in touch with you?”

“Well, if I didn’t call him at all, we’d never talk again.”

(Oh. Sweet Anna.)
