I love hand-painted signs, they are often so beautiful and meticulous but I see them less and less. Which is why, I am so excited about this new documentary Sign Painters coming out. It looks like a great narrative and the sign painters seem like fun characters. Hope they'll be a Brisbane screening (like The Startup Kids).

What Should I Read Next?
I'm in the middle of a few too many non-fiction books with not enough motivation to finish them. I thought interspersing them with some fiction might help, but what to read next? Currently I am reading Entertain Us by Craig Shuften, How to be an Existentialist by Gary Cox, Eden's Outcast by John Matteson, and School of Life: Volume 1 by Alain de Botton.
I have come across this great site called What Should I Read Next, where you type in the titles of books you love and it makes recommendations for you. Some of the recommendations it has made for me are books that I already love, so I think I might give it a go and trust it for a recommendation.
However, a week or so ago was the 50th Anniversary of the first publication of Slyvia Plath's The Bell Jar. It was originally published in London in 1963 under her pseudonym, Victoria Lucas, before being published 2 years later in United States after her mother tried to delay it's printing. The Bell Jar is one of my favourite books and I think I might re-read it as a nice break from my non-fiction.

Bookplates
A while ago Benign Objects posted some links to free bookplates, both from their site and also from Besotted Brand. Make sure you also check out the other free downloads listed on the Benign Objects site.

Speaking of book covers, An Archive of Book Cover Designs and Designers can be found here. Great inspiration for a Thursday afternoon.
Real Book Titles
College Humour has made 'honest movie title' posts for the past few years (2010, 2011, and 2012), which are a laugh, but I came across one for books, better book titles. This one is my favourite, makes me think about the book covers I have on my bookshelf.
