Hey there, Tumblr! We’ve trying something fun today! As of now, you’ll see something new when you make a recommendation in the Tumblr Directory. Keep your eyes peeled for it!

And now, the five best Tumblrs in the entire universe:

DailyLit: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
The fine people at DailyLit are using Tumblr to share books in short installments so you can read them right in your dashboard. Also launching today are The Art of War and Poems by Emily Dickinson.

Great Showdowns
Scott C. illustrates some of the greatest confrontations in film history with the cutest little drawings you’ll see today.

Defaced
Vandalism may be frowned upon, but looking at photos of vandalism is fun for the whole family.

Art/Music: Indie
Indie music, indie cover art, and indie tunes. I hope including this blog doesn’t destroy all their indie cred.

Criminal Wisdom
The culture, art, and techniques of both criminals and detectives are explored in this Tumblr blog.

Visit the Tumblr Directory for more exemplary Tumblrs!

Name Gnome Life
Location Everywhere
First Post August 25

Gnome Life is the story of a gnome who bravely ventures out into the real world in search of adventure. The first stop on his journey: New York City. This curious little guy has already found a spot in Central Park that reminds him of home, but he still has to fight the constant urge to hide. Peering through holes and cracks, watching us humans move to and fro — this is where he feels the most secure. While no other dwarves are to be found in Manhattan’s underground caves, he’s finally starting to free himself from the cynicism felt by all the other gnomes back home at the garden.

Name Gary’s Real Life
First post December 2008
Location ???

Gary likes taking photos, wearing suits, and lives a rich and fulfilling life. Professionally, he’s a part-time imaginary friend (though he often wonders what it’d be like to be a suit maker). Not much is known about Gary’s background, other than that his closest companion is an art director from Sydney, Australia named Josh Beggs. Josh is the creative director of an entertainment magazine, has a dog named Baxter, and is a talented illustrator.
