Trees are turned into books, but this person turned books into a tree!
Awesome!

Jane Austen’s Birthday Horoscope for December 16, 2011: Sagittarius
Your wit is on fire, Sagittarius, as you head into the holiday season! No Yule log needed. Your sense is overshadowed by your sensibility. Your prejudice is buried in your radiant pride. Today you can persuade anyone of anything, and you will try! But be careful not to outshine those who are important in your life: especially your family who will support you in anything. Return the favor (but maybe wait until your birthday is over!) and lend a little brilliance to someone else.
Happy birthday, Jane Austen!
A Dickens currency? All the more reason to visit London!

I like the Emily Bronte here much better than I did her books.
And I am a bit sick of all the ridiculous spoofs. It’s just a clever and insulting money making scheme.
December 3rd is Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day! Here at I Heart Classics, we believe this is the most important holiday of the year. If you don’t have kids, just take yourself and your “inner child” to the bookstore. Hey, it counts!

Louisa May Alcott’s Birthday Horoscope for November 29, 2011: Sagittarius
You are easily adaptable, Sagittarius. So it’s no shocker that in this, your birth month, you are rolling with the punches. Are you feeling more “little woman” or “little man” today? Which is more prominent: your charms or your brawn? As an ardent feminist, perhaps both! No matter which side of the coin you lean toward today, you will no doubt be “Thoreau” in the obstacles you tackle. Transcend negativity as you always do.
Happy birthday, Louisa May Alcott!
