News! Lots of it happens, but not much of it is worth having to click a link, reading the one line of information that you care about (the title usually) and then click the close tab button. Save time and read this instead.

BOOKS! - New books to be found in the few remaining bookshops will include the LEGO Mixels readers, LEGO Ninjago Brickmaster Updated and Expanded, Idiot's Guide: Puppies, LEGO Star Wars the Dark Side, LEGO Ninjago Visual Dictionary, Cock-a-Doodle-Doo! Farm, LEGO Architecture Visual Guide, Ultimate LEGO Spooky Sticker Collection and Winter Knits Made Easy. Penguin (PDF file)
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters. As the set is out. You can exchange money for it. GMA
Simpsons - That LEGO Simpsons episode aired Sunday, and its received critical acclaim, which is surprising, what with it being a later season Simpsons episode. AVClub gave it the highest rating for a Simpsons episode in two years. Den of Geek gave it a 4.5/5, IGN - 8.2 and even the Dead Homer Society managed to praise something about it (well, the animation anyway).
Boring story of the week - A Cornish company are installing three "feature staircases" for London's LEGO office. Its nice to see LEGO hire minorities. Western Morning News
Heartwarming story of the week - To celebrate 15 years of LEGO Star Wars, they pulled apart a kids room and rebuilt it with LEGO - The five year old said "I want to be a Jedi or author when I grow up".Metro

Not sure how I'd react if my entire room was replaced with LEGO. Feel like that would be something my enemies would set up against me, a plan where I am "Always stepping on LEGOs. BWAHAHAHAHA..."

I like the news roundup a lot, I wouldn't mind contributing when I could to these if we made something easy like this consistently every week or so.
