A few bits and bobs before work.

• Tony's Blair's memoir is the first nonfiction book to be nominated for the Bad Sex Award. Which is only given to works of fiction, so it's a double insult from the Literary Review. Wowza. (Should I start mentioning that to all of the patrons who are waiting for it? Hmm.)
• Casting for The Hunger Games movie isn't the only one to keep an eye on  -- City of Bones is in the works, too!
• Speaking of The Hunger Games movie, here's another post about casting and skin color -- but this one focuses on Rue.
• As I've got Lois Duncan on the brain, I was excited to see this month's giveaway at YA Books Central.
• James Franco's book is about teenagers.
• Have you seen The Tempest trailer?:
