1. At the Book Design Review, critics break down the artistic merits of book covers. For example, you'll want to read this one for Nobody Move - a dust jacket with bullet holes.
2. Here, at a cool site called Once Upon a Plate, learn to make your own March of the Penguins...with olives and carrots, no less. Just go look at the picture. It's hilarious.
3. And finally, strictly from a writing research point of view, this Dating 101: First-date red flags was an interesting piece. Apparently, if say, my character, Biff, tells character Clarissa that he's between jobs, never moves this fast on a first date, has never had a serious girlfriend and that he'll call her - he's just not that into her; which means, of course, that she'll be more attracted to him. That's how I'll write it anyway.
After their first course of martinis and penguins a la toothpick, Biff asked Clarissa to pay the bill because he was between jobs to which she responded "Nobody move! This is the guy for me!"
