In Our Feeds: Movie adaptations, ereaders, and twitter

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 great weekend!

Working at Scholastic gives me an excuse to read children’s lit and YA, but to be honest, I’d probably be reading it anyway! If you’re looking for a reason to reread your favorite children’s books, check out this list

Not sure what books to add to your TBR pile? Take a look at this list from an article Alex found. he BBC believes that most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books on this list. How many have you read?

Are you the type of person who compares the movie adaptation with the book, analyzing what parts they left out or *gasp* changed? If so, take a look at this interesting piece from the New York Times about finding a balance between keeping fans happy and making a book adaptable to a movie screen.

Megan shares this cool survey study. Did you know adult readers stick with a book longer AND read more when they use an ereader

Megan also brings us a thought provoking piece about single-sex education

It’s hard to imagine daily life without internet access but the World Wide Web is only 25 years old! Here’s a neat map Lia shared that shows how the internet spread across the world over the last quarter century! This is also a good time to wish twitter a Happy 8th Birthday! Do you remember your first tweet?

Let’s kick this weekend off with a quiz Brittany found: what type of book are you?
