Happy Weekend Pubbers!


Now that we have a chance to cool our jets for a bit, how about some book-related fun from the interweb?

First, some advice on getting your own Book Vlog started!

 

Psst… Ever heard of the vlogbrothers? John Green and his brother make snappy little vids about all things BOOK.

 

Last but not least, listen to England’s own book vlogger JustBeingBelle talk about the books she loves and why.

That’s all for now! Keep your eyes peeled for this Sunday’s events calendar!
