This May, we're thrilled to bring a new edition of Elizabeth Gaskell's NORTH AND SOUTH (1855) to your bookshelves featuring a (heated!) conversation between Gaskell enthusiast Adrienne Garcia-Specht and actor/activist Morgan Spector (HBO's THE GILDED AGE). unnamedpress.com
At one point Morgan yells “WHAT?” at me and you have to read to find out why 😂 #Gaskell #northandsouth

✨This book was once owned by Jane Austen! ✨
There are very few books that Jane Austen is known to have owned, making this one at the UL incredibly special. We're delighted to show it to you today, on her 250th birthday!

Rob Reiner directed some of the greatest moments cinema, including when Carrie Fisher folds down the corner of the card because the man is married but puts it back in her Rolodex.

I want everyone to know I was introduced to the 10,000 maniacs cover of Because the Night via a fan edit of a Final Fantasy couple. I just looked it up and the video is 18 years old on YouTube. #xpncountdown
