The tie-in item I'd kill for

Thanks to the miracles of design and licensing, we book fans can wear jewelry or buy other tchotchkes based on our favorite books. We can wear pendants in the shape of the Dark Mark, or the One Ring. With these items in mind, I'm begging of you, Scholastic, will you please grant the rights to someone, anyone, to make replicas of the mockingjay pin that Katniss wears in the Hunger Games? I realize it might not be as big a seller as that gold Time-Turner, but I'm sure I could find you at least ten people who would buy one.

Dewey love to shop or what?

Yesterday it was book t-shirts, today it's Dirty Librarian Chains, featured in W magazine and apparently on Gossip Girl. Their collection of necklaces includes the "Reserve," the "Call Number," and the "Database Necklace." I think my favorite is the "Chapter" pendant. Wonder if they give discounts to ALA members. Probably not, alas.
