The Long Lost Marauders

Hello, welcome, hola, aloha, and dobry den!!


Warning!! This is not a test!! This is an actual blog post!!! It sure has been a long time fellow marauders, but your beloved Padfoot and Prongs have finished their over due hiatus and returned to the blogosphere! After a good few months of reading, sleeping, and losing some tonsils, we are finally back and ready to blog!


To all of our past (and hopefully still current) readers... we thank you for your continued support and loyalty even when we are being horribly lazy lolcats. For all of you new readers we are so glad you have found our blog and look forward to having long in-depth literary discussions by the fireplace with all of you.

Tons of fabulous changes are in store not only for Good Books Inc., but for Padfoot and Prongs as well! In case you hadn't noticed... we have closed our Etsy shop for the time being while both ladies get settled back into school at set up shop. Have no fear because we plan on coming out with new designs and products in the very near future.


Our blog will also being recieving a few fantastic updates for you all to keep an eye out for! The return of Tattoo Tuesday will commence tomorrow as well as some new weekly features we know you are going to love. Plus all the reviews of the summertime novels that we have been pouring through.


Finally we are happy to announce that in just a little over a year we will be excitedly launching a new blog that we hope you all will participate in. The new blog will be titled:

Padfoot and Prongs in Europe!!!!

You read right marauders!! Your very own P&P will be leaving the comforts of American fast food for the exciting city of Dublin, Ireland for 7 months as well as a small back packing stint across a number of other countries. We realize this trip is a long ways away but we would love to hear from any of our international readers with advice, thoughts, and hopefully the addresses of some couches to crash on! Plus we would love any book recommendations that will get us in the mood for life across the pond! (Prongs is already dedicated to tackling Ulysseys by Joyce... wish her luck).

So now that everyone is caught up... we would love to hear from everyone and look forward to hearing from you! Make sure to check our Twitter account which we will now be posting on regularly once again.


In that spirit we will leave you with some hilarious example of a new fad: 'Twitterature'. These 'tweets' are 140 charac. summaries of classic literary novels. See if you can guess a few!

@CatholicGuilt: You know that old Italian dude who painted the picture of the smiling lady? He's the key to all of this. LOL, who would have thought?


@OedipusGothplex: Laertes is unhappy that I killed his father and sister. What a drama queen! Oh well, fight this evening.

@NotoriousHP: NM last tweet. Killed him. Something about a prophecy. Who cares? Last seven years have felt like same one, over and over.


@Dr.FrankNstein: I often think of the craziest thing I could get away with using my MD.


Until next time........

Oh man it's been 3 MONTHS

WOW. Where has the time gone? We miss all you loyal readers and we apologize (once again) for being completely sucky and not posting anything in literally 1/4 of a year. We have plans to redesign our Etsy shop, bring some new merchandise for you all, bring back the Battle of the Bards (with even better prizes ;) ) and in general write some amazing book reviews.

In the next month, I will be working my butt off to save up money and prepare for my big move to Columbus. Prongs will be recovering for getting her tonsils removed, while I do a dramatic reading of Harry Potter to her (also while spoon feeding her jello). So here in a month or so, look for a return from your favorite marauders.

Miss you all, drop us a line!

Hullo!

Hey folks...man our blog is looking pretty empty and lonely isn't it? Well we are here to update you on our lives.

I (Padfoot) just got done reading Percy Jackson and The Lightening Thief (anybody else read it? Thoughts?) and am currently reading Perfume: Story of a Murderer.

My next two books will probably be Dune, and then The Illuminatus Triology.

Between looking for apartments, working, and going to school, we are not sure if we will get any reviews out there soon, but we will be up and running as soon as we can be :).

Until then...we invite you to look at http://www.outofprintclothing.com/Shop_a/152.htm
Fabulous t-shirts with gorgeous book covers on the front! The owners are wonderful people as well.
Sorry for the short update...but we are needy for at least a little bit of attention. We miss you all, and will be back in the swing of things here soon!
