bookandbedandtea What rare, honey-tongued delight! (Had to look that up... didn't know any Shakespearean compliments š) 6y

Clwojick @bookandbedandtea ahahaha! I definitely didn‘t know this book existed, but now I‘m so glad that I do. I‘m in love with late 90s/early 00s pop music, and also Shakespeare... so I feel like this is going to come in handy 6y

This book is everything! It's hilarious and brilliant at the same time. If you love Shakespeare and music, this is a fun one. Best way to read this is aloud.

A sonnet has #14 lines.
This re-working of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in sonnet form is from the Tumblr Pop Sonnets. He does lots of songs and they're all quite good.

merelybookish @Cinfhen That's so cool. Will Smith has always seemed like he would be a nice guy in person! 7y

Nute Amazing! My affection for Will Smith just quadrupled. 7y

batsy This is awesome! Just to be clear, it's the author of the tagged book who does these "remixes"? ? 7y

merelybookish @batsy Yeah I know Will Smith is talented but he didn't write the sonnet. I guess that's not quite clear. 7y

I really don't use bookmarks - but I have this one that came with Pop Sonnets. Looked around for more, but this definitely seems to be my only bookmark right now. Sorry #booktober !

Finally made it over to the Maryland Renaissance Fair's booksellers, Page After Page. This book hit several of my buttons - Shakespeare, music lyrics, and parodies - so it HAD to come home with me. It's AMAZING. Next weekend they're doing readings from it at the booth! I also discovered there's a tumblr! http://popsonnet.tumblr.com has many more sonnets that aren't in the book. Lovely book, lovely booksellers. #shakespeare #popsonnets
