i’ve been trying to come up with an incredibly awesome post, in honor of the fact that i’ve almost gotten 10,000 hits on this blog (i cannot believe it. seriously. thank you!)… but i couldn’t come up with anything amazing, so all i have to talk about today is — sea monsters. woot!

i’m sure you’ve seen the book pride and prejudice and zombies at bookstores, right? freaky picture of a zombie jane austen on the cover? well, i’ve seen it, but i’ve never read it — i just don’t really do the whole zombie thing. there’s something about undead that’s just unright.

but i have to admit, the next book in the series has got me pretty excited: sense and sensibility and sea monsters. that’s right.  seriously, what could be better than jane austen + sea monsters and all the shinangians that go with them (pirates!)? click here for the publicity article about the upcoming book, and if you scroll down in that link, you can watch a teaser/trailer they made for it. love.

it’s not really a new way to discover the classics — im thinking if your first introduction to elizabeth and mr. darcy is when they’re out fighting zombies together, you’re going to be sorely disappointed to only see them dancing in the original — but it all sounds uber-fun anyway.
