Queen of Canada, Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam has dropped and is ready to traumatize your eyes.
If you haven't picked up an Atwood since high school, Book Riot has this handy dandy flowchart to meet all your Momma Maggie needs.

BEST NEWS EVERYBODY!
Tony Cliff is doing a second Deliah Dirk book.
If you haven't read Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant you need to get thineself to a book emporium. Because it is the prettiest, flashiest, funniest adventure comic that ever was.
Tintin can only dream of being as bad-ass as Deliah Dirk. Indiana Jones wishes he was a cool as her. Flashman's mustache droops in shame compared to the flip-off-to-gravity that her is hairdo.
You can check out the first few chapters on the Deliah Dirk website but really, you shouldn't be cheating yourself by not acquiring the entire book.
Also, FLYING SHIPS!

No doubt Miss Maiar is still recovering from the foaming-at-the-mouth bliss of watching Iron Man 3, so I am here to bring things back to the things that matter. Books.
And wait it out until I see it on Sunday.
The Edgar Award winners have been announced!
Congrats to all the winners and the nominees.
I suppose this is just another reason to finally read Code Name: Verity. I know that it's going to be amazing but I am convinced that I am going to cry myself into an asthma attack.

So, in case you weren't aware, there is a book called I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems By Cats.
Yep.
That's a thing.
In honour of this, NPR has a delectable comic tribute to cats and the poets who loved them.
No surprise, Margaret "Momma can get nasty!" Atwood makes the list with this painfully true quote: "I have a lot of cats. What else can you do with a B.A. these days?"
I think she may have a shot as a professional goalie.

Good morning, Bookslingers!
After a brief break (mostly to recover from the new Flavia de Luce book but more on that later), we have your mid-morning peruse.
Via Flavorwire a fantastic gallery of 25 Vintage Photos of Librarians Being Awesome.
Possibly the most awesome photo of the bunch is this one:
The caption reads: "The Librarian at Tuskegee and his assistant, 1910".
SOMEONE WRITE THIS BOOK NOW.
These two look like they got up to some cracking crime-fighting adventures between shelf reading and storytime.

Sebastian Faulks is writing an authorized Jeeves and Wooster sequel.
Let me express my feelings on the subject through the dramatic stylings of classically-trained actor, Alan Rickman.

How gorgeous is this Little Women art?
The Korean artist Hanuol whose website is here but unfortunately all in Korean. Wish I read Korena so I could track down where I could find this art to hang on ALL THE WALLS.
Just finished reading The Mother-Daughter Book Club by Heather Frederick Vogel and love how both Frederick and Hanuol capture Alcott's atmosphere of sisterly warmth and love of the natural world.

The Jane Austen Drinking Game: There's a bottle of scotch, a Pride & Prejudice DVD, a bottle of Aspirin in my near to immediate future.
Apparently Huffington Post is so hip, they've read all the books that haven't been published yet: The Best Books of 2013.

Your Morning Peruse - Post ALAYMA
Just in case you slept through yesterday, here is the list of the ALA Youth Media Awards. Will have a full reaction when my emotions are able to express themselves in words instead of... just... sobs and triumphant sky punches.
Speaking of triumphant sky punches, ALL OF MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE.

My love of mugs is well documented. So I was pleased to read the Book Riot's The Best Coffee Mugs for Book Lovers (I assume they can also hold tea). This lovely list features this beauty:

Everyone loves a bookish pun.
So, tomorrow, kind of a big deal. I will be up early (or sleeping in and reacting in a timely manner).
