Friday Whatnot: October 31, 2014
J.K. Rowling wrote a special story for Halloween on the fansite, Pottermore.com. She also shared it with TODAY.com so non-members of the site can read it too. Read The Story of Dolores Jane Umbridge here.
To help Rooster Teeth with a charity event for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals, LeVar Burton read a book that would not likely be featured on Reading Rainbow: Adam Mansbach’s Go the [expletive deleted] to Sleep.
Rooster Teeth posted the video on YouTube with this explanation: “For reaching our stretch goal, LeVar Burton sits the Rooster Teeth employees down for a reading of the popular ‘bedtime story.'”
It’s been viewed 1.1 million times since October 25.
Mansbach and Burton exchanged tweets since then, and yesterday Mansbach tweeted this:
Just signed my very first copy of YOU HAVE TO FUCKING EAT – to @levarburton, naturally. pic.twitter.com/HQPXB2wfCM
