In Our Feeds: Underrated books, literary hotels, and wizard school for muggles

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!

The power of libraries never ceases to amaze me: In addition to books and other research material, soon you’ll be able to check out portable wireless internet hubs! How cool is that?! (No surprise this story comes from Deimosa, the librarian at Scholastic.)

Having trouble deciding what book to read next? There are tons of “best of 2014” book lists out there, but I also love this list of best “underrated” books this year.

Planning to travel this holiday season? Stay at one of these BEAUTIFUL hotels with literary connections, like the beautiful hotel in Norfolk that Agatha Christie used to visit!

Did you know that L.M. Montgomery got the idea for Anne of Green Gables after flipping through an old journal? (Plus more fun facts about L.M. Montgomery!) 

Are you one of the millions of people listening to the podcast Serial? One school in California is using it in class in place of Hamlet.

Muggles who missed the Hogwarts experience can still be sorted into a house and take classes to become an Auror…at Czocha College of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Poland! (h/t Kristen for this fun find!)

While we’re on the subject of Harry Potter, check out these gorgeous books, and this awesome list of ways Harry Potter changed your life (thanks, Brittany!)
