William Shakespeare's the Taming of the Clueless

William Shakespeare's the Taming of the Clueless | Ian Doescher

I can't say I *always* pay attention to a book's publisher, but when I like a book and appreciate some detail about it, I have to look at the copyright page.

I've noticed a pattern in loving:
• travel guides by DK Eyewitness. I adore their photography, layouts, and their illustrations of buildings' interiors.
• graphic novels by First Second as well as Graphix.
• titles by Quirk Books and Scholastic Press.

Cinfhen This post really caught my eye!! Beautiful graphics 🥰and of course im always happy to see a post from you 2y

Librariana @Cinfhen - Aawww! Thank you for always being so kind and complimentary, Cindy! 🥰🩷 I'm so humbled! 1y

Librariana @ozma.of.oz - Thank you for the fabulous prompt and for letting me play along! As @Cinfhen ⬆️ has come to know about me, I'm very visual when it comes to my examples and love to build digital collages 😄😁😊 1y

Good. Interesting take on a much beloved film. You can see how much work has gone into this as it reads just like Shakespeare.

I was at the Barnes & Noble and spotted this Shakespeare adaptation of Clueless which is an adaptation of Emma! It‘s a story told in verse, just like the Bard!

CarolynM What a mash-up! I'm intrigued. 3y

CrowCAH @CarolynM yes! Ive read the Shakespeare Star Wars books before by Doescher and it was fantastic! I bet this one will be the same fun! 3y

Quirk Books & The Show Must Go Online hosted a Zoom call w/ actors reading excerpts from the book. They added a minstral type of character to sing varied versions of songs used in the movie. It was quite entertaining:

They also have Much Ado About Mean Girls coming up & you can register here:

These arrived from one of our local indies yesterday. They are currently hanging out atop this cabinet, being left untouched to air out ?

"Cut in Half" is a gift for my hubby since he is quite the tinker-er and loves to pry things apart ?

I finished "I Will Judge You By Your Bookshelf" on Hoopla and wanted to add it to our collection.

The other two just looked plain fun and I can't wait to dive into them in the near future!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clueless in iambic pentameter? SOLD. Think Shakespeare does Clueless does Emma. Revisiting my all-time favorite movie in this form was quite a treat. Fun and very clever! It‘s part of Doescher‘s Pop Shakespeare series, which I did not know was a thing, but what a fun concept! Will definitely look for more.

batsy Love the pic and your nail colour 💜 5y

britt_brooke @batsy Thank you! 💅🏻 5y

kyraleseberg The Mean Girls edition is also amazing! 5y

britt_brooke @kyraleseberg I almost ordered that one yesterday! I need to watch the movie again before I jump into that one, but it looks great, too. (edited) 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I feel that if he doesn't write one for 10 Things I Hate About You, it's a missed opportunity. 🤣 5y

britt_brooke @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick You‘re SO right!! 5y

Reviewsbylola What?!? Omg I‘m all over this! 5y

Reviewsbylola I just bought the Mean Girls one. And MacTrump looks hilarious too! 5y

Every once in a while, a book comes along that you didn't know you needed in your life until the very instant you discover it.
Shakespearean Clueless written in iambic pentameter? Obviously all the yasssss.
Quirk Books continues to rock my socks off with their releases!

wanderinglynn That seems so random, but I totally want to read it! 😂 5y

kyraleseberg @wanderinglynn Yes, totally random! And apparently the author has already released Shakespearean Mean Girls and Back to the Future 😂 5y

Hooked_on_books You gotta love Quirk! I would totally read this! 5y
