Books

Tom Isbell is a Professor of Theatre at UMD, has acted in movies like 'True Lies' and 'The Abyss' and now he's just published the second book in his 'Prey' trilogy.

Every semester I always cringe when it comes to picking up textbooks because they are always so expensive. But nothing grinds my gears more, than when a professor does this.

No matter what your political leanings are, anyone who is or has been a College Student knows how outrageous the cost of books are, and Franken us trying to change that.

As part of a segment he likes to call “Fifty Accents,” host Jimmy Fallon set Dornan up with a “randomly chosen” (sure) accent and a passage from the E.L. James book that became a “global phenomenon.” It's both raunchy and weird, but at least it shows off a little bit of Dornan's range in a way that's (mostly) PG.

'Breaking Bad' star Bryan Cranston was selected to record an audio version of the follow-up to Adam Mansbach's book 'Go the F--k to Sleep,' this time the author takes on picky eaters with 'You Have to F--king Eat.'

These book to movie adaptations are becoming quite popular.  This one looks amazing as well.  It's also another book I haven't read.

It's not often it happens.  However, someone occasionally points out a new movie coming out I never heard of.

Demi Lovato can now officially add author to her resume with the release of her new "self help" book called Staying Strong.

Ylvis the Norwegian comedy  group who finally became a voice for the four legged forest dweller, has now decided to branch out with a new children's book called.......wait for it......

The last trailer for Hunger Games: Catching Fire debuted last night during the World Series.  It looks amazing!  Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) are celebrating their victory, when war breaks out and Katniss is chosen again to compete.

We've been waiting to hear something...anything about the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie.  While we won't know exactly who will be playing Ana Steele or Christian Grey, we can at least mark our calendars for the movie to be released.

It's like Christmas in June for a reader like myself.  Even though I've run out of room on my bookshelves, and my husband bought me a Kindle to help cut down on my book clutter, I've just returned from the Duluth Public Library with bags full of books!
