In Our Feeds: libraries, Schwarzenegger, what we’ll be reading in 2013

By Morgan on December 28th, 2012

Each Friday, we share a handful of links we found interesting, provocative, funny — or just plain cool. We call it In Our Feeds. Have a good weekend!

It’s been a slow week on the internet, as (rightly) people gather with their loved ones to celebrate the various end-of-year holidays! But, I did manage to find some super and super-interesting articles this week.

For starters — this one from the New York Times about how libraries are becoming the new bookstores, in a way.

Novel Novice blogged about new YA releases to look forward to in 2013, and it’s a long (and exciting!) list! Check it out here.

In somewhat surprising news, Arnold Schwarzenegger told the New York Times “I love everything about the Harry Potter franchise.” Nice!

And finally, as I prepare to clean out my office this long holiday weekend, this post from Book Riot is timely: get your book crafting on with adorable ideas on what to do with all those books you have.

Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks for making 2012 an incredible year on OOM!
