Bookish Questions – How do you style your bookshelves?
How do you style your bookshelves? My bookshelves are a conglomeration of styles. Where I have enough books from a single series, or group of related series, I like to create a single shelf devoted to that series/group. For example, I have an entire shelf devoted to Harry Potter.

Read MoreCoffee Talk – Birthday Wishes
My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, so I’ve been giving some thought to things I might like to have for my birthday. In case you missed it, we recently bought a new house, so a lot of these things will be linked to that. Buying a house can be a long,…

I picked up a lovely planter of succulents for my office this week. It’s nice to be able to bring some green into the house. Now, with a little luck – and as long as the cats don’t eat them – I might be able to keep these alive for a while.

Read MoreBooklr Questions – Do you buy books new, used, or go to the library?
Do you buy books new, used, or go to the library? As much as I should go to the library and borrow book, I don’t. I haven’t had a library card since I was in middle school. And while I went to the library a lot during high school and college, it was usually to…
Read MoreCoffee Talk – Children’s Books, Elections
Welcome to Coffee Talk! A concept that I shamelessly stole from Daenel over at Living Outside the Stacks. It’s a chance to talk about some of the random things that are on my mind. Grab a thermos of your favorite drink, and join me for a little chat. Children’s Lit I’ve been on a weird…
