It has
been some time since I shared any videos from Penguin Random House, so I
thought today would be a good time to change that.
Today’s
videos include an interview with author Adam Bray, a look at scary books and Brightly
Storytime. If you click on the image, you can view the interview.
Meet the Author: Adam Bray (MARVEL STUDIOS VISUAL DICTIONARY)
Adam
talks about the key to a great story, the book he rereads the most, and more.

of the week
This is a great
Instagram account, run by a book historian at the Smithsonian. One of her
recurring features is called #ForeEdgeFriday, where she shares old books’
fore-edge paintings, or scenes painted on the edges of the pages of a book that
appear when fanned out. Here is a quick sampling, but if you like old books and have free time,
it’s worth poking around in there. And if your thirst for fore-edge paintings
still isn’t sated, here’s a
profile of one of the few people still making them today
Fun
video-adjacent tidbit of the week:
In a
survey from DriversEd.com, 8% of drivers admitted to watching YouTube videos while
driving (please don’t do this).
Thanks for
stopping by today. Hope you enjoy the videos. Do you have a scary book that you
enjoy reading every year around this time?
