A few Saturday links.

• Leigh Bardugo (Shadow and Bone) on Dune at NPR: "But when his world is turned upside down — when he leaves his home, loses his father and enters a physically and politically hostile environment — he doesn't whine and cry and brood. He adapts. To this day, I can recite the Bene Gesserit litany against fear."
• Star Wars VII already has a screenwriter.
• TENNIEL ACTUALLY MADE AN ALICE CHESSBOARD. *dies from the coveting*
• New Bridget Jones book. Will it be good? Who knows! Am I totally going to read it? OBVS.
• The World Book Night 2013 titles have been announced. (Looking for Alaska, The Phantom Tollbooth, Good Omens, The Lightning Thief and Me Talk Pretty One Day are all on the list!)
