Warm Up with a Good Book

Today is one of those days that I want to curl up on the heater vent and read a good book while drinking hot cocoa. It has been in the 60s and had only snowed once this season (my sister's birthday was on December 8th and it was the first time EVER there wasn't snow on her big day) - until this cold snap.


I think they call it a cold snap because your nose feels like it is going to snap right off in the cold outside. It is currently 2:00 in the afternoon and is a grand 17 degrees outside. Lovely, simply lovely.

I live three blocks from work ... I drove to the library today. Pathetic.

Anyway, since it is a winter weather reading kind of day ... what are you reading? I'm nearly finished with Incarnate and then I'm not sure what to start next - do I re-read a classic in front of the fire, or should I pull out something new. Suggestions?

What are your favorite winter reads or What great books are you reading right now?

Set that book down ...

So we all know I love to read (I love to read, in case you missed it) ... but books are good for other things too. They make your shelves look pretty, they make you smarter, they can hold up that table that isn't level (not a recommended use, of course). Oh, but this, this is much more fun.

Instead of spending all of my time reading, I decided to do something all those books I've been "saving" forever to make something with. Those books that came into the library as donation and were too far gone (headed to the trash) ... they needed a new life. A new life as something fabulous! 















Soothing the Soul


A friend of mine took this adorable shot outside of our library earlier this week. I just love it! Kids use the library and look how adorably grown up they are! LOVE IT.
