It’s National Tell a Joke Day and we cannot stop thinking about the books that have made us literally laugh out loud over the years. It’s rare for a book to dig into our brains that way, making it feel like the protagonist is telling a joke just for us. Why not celebrate that?

One person’s trash is another’s treasure, or so the saying goes. And nowhere is this more true than within a thrift shop! With Thrift Shop Day fast approaching, here’s a considerably darker look at the possibilities of within those stores. But beware, these tales are not for the faint of heart. 

The Art of Racing in the Rain just hit theatres and we’re so curious to see it. The movie, based on Garth Stein’s 2008 novel of the same name, centers on Enzo, a dog with a philosopher’s soul. He’s obsessed with opposable thumbs (who isn’t?) and is fascinated with the racing aspirations of his human Denny, a young widow grieving the death of his wife and custody loss of his daughter.

We’re not crying, you’re crying. To celebrate the decade-long journey of bringing this book to the big screen, we’re making a wish list of other dog-loving books that should be made into movies. So without further ado.

When we think about sisters, we’re flooded with love and nostalgia about the women who supported through our entire lives. We think of heartfelt texts (and group text, for those of us with multiple sisters) and one-upping each other with a #NationalSisterDay post on Instagram. But we’re bookworms, so of course we celebrate sisters in the nerdiest way we know how: with a quiz to determine who your literary sister might be.

We know you’re a fan of badass characters. You wouldn’t be here otherwise. Women changing the game, characters we think Sandra Oh should play, famous literary bachelors who would thrive on The Bachelorette — it’s all fair game. But what about the pop culture parents? What about the caregivers who don’t get nearly enough credit? Well today is all about them.
