in Books,books to read,Good Stuff,Things We Adore

Is your tween a fan of Harry Potter? Mine is!! And while she already owns all of the Harry Potter books, she would love to add this beautiful, recently-released set to her library!

In celebration of the 15th anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Scholastic commissioned new covers for the popular series. The striking new artwork on the box, spines, and individual covers was created by talented graphic artist Kazu Kibuishi.

Here are comparison of the new covers next to the original covers (created by Mary GrandPré):

Book 1:

Book 2:

Book 3:

Book 4:

Book 5:

Book 6:

Book 7:

The seven-book set is available from Scholastic for $70 and from Amazon for $58.50 (price at post publication time–prices on Amazon do tend to fluctuate with demand, so it may be higher or lower when you check it out).

Which cover art do you prefer?

Here’s the latest. Enjoy!!

Probably the hottest video out this week…. and I just got a chance to watch it. I know, I know. I should have watched it at the first mention I saw on Facebook—because it’s that good. Really.

Watch it. Pass it on. The message is from a most unexpected (at least by me) person in the most unexpected place, but give it a chance. You might just find that Chris is an unexpected gem. I did.

One of my favorite lines: “Build a life–don’t live one. Build one.”

What was your favorite line?

Have you seen the Camp Gyno video released by Hello Flo, a tampon delivery company? I hadn’t until last week…. but it’s gone viral — almost 5 million views since July 28. I don’t know a better way to get folks to notice your new company than to get a conversation-starting video to go viral.

I couldn’t have named a tampon delivery company before this. But now I can!!

And, yes, I have shown the video to Ariel. She was a bit embarrassed, but laughed at a few parts. It was especially funny to her because she portrayed Joan of Arc at her elementary school’s wax museum in third grade.

Have you seen it? Check it out. It certainly has been viewed a lot already!

(This is not an endorsement for Hello Flo, nor am I affiliated with them in any way. I just liked the video and wanted to share it with you!)
