Oh, Leo. Always the Oscar nominee and never the Oscar winner. We have our fingers crossed for you this year. But just in case, we also have some literary roles that you should play that could also score you that coveted golden statue in the future.

It's Oscars season, and one of the few opportunities for regular theater-goers to enjoy short films on the big screen. There's a special place in our hearts for these bite-sized narratives in both film and book format, so we've made a list of short stories that should be made into short films.

Squad Goals seem to be taking over the Internet, thanks to Taylor Swift. While the world may aspire to be best friends with a model, our aspirations don’t run that tall. We turn to books for our squad goals; we just tend to prefer page-turners over paparazzi.

When it comes to contemporary literature, the Smiths are pretty much everywhere. Between Charlie listening to “Asleep” on repeat in The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Eleanor and Park falling in love with the Smiths blaring in their ears in Eleanor and Park, it seems writers have a thing for referencing the Smiths. Which only makes sense, given how much the Smiths love to allude to literature and writers.

With the tragic passing of David Bowie, we thought it was fitting to celebrate his life by re-watching one of our favorite films: Labyrinth. We couldn’t help but think of a few book recommendations for our favorite characters.
