I'm ok with the commercialization. Anything that gives me an excuses to gorge myself on Reese's Peanut Butter cups is awesome in my book

This isn't a bad idea. I should take this opportunity to read some books that I have on my Reader or on my bookshelf. I'll go for these three:
-Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Got it a while ago for my Reader but haven't read much past the first few pages.
-Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Just got it in hardcover at a book sale, I think it's supposed to be creepy.
-The Monstrumologist. Freebie for the Sony
-And if I get time, The Stand. Got this also in hardcover at the sale. I've had a million people tell me to read it, so I picked it up.
