#OurProject52 – Centered

By Andrea | September 17, 2015 |

I love asymmetry, so centering things has always been hard for me. Even if my design sense tends toward grouping display items in odd numbers.  I did manage to find a few things around the office that were centered though, at least if you looked at them from the right angle. I still think that…

Booklr Questions – What are your favorite book covers?

By Andrea | September 15, 2015 |

What are your favorite book covers? I am absolutely in love with Orion Publishing’s new hardcover imprints of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. I might have even ordered one of them from the Book Depository the other day.  It was a copy of Good Omens, the only book in the collection that wasn’t a Discworld novel,…

A Beginner’s Guide to Paradise – A Review

By Andrea | September 14, 2015 |

I recently got a chance to read an advance copy of A Beginner’s Guide to Paradise by Alex Sheshunoff. This memoir about Sheshunoff’s time in the south pacific was a wonderfully entertaining read.  A big thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group for my Advanced Reader Copy (ARC). So what’s this book about anyway? A Synopsis…

By Andrea | September 8, 2015 |

How many bookshelves do you own? As a booklr, the obvious answer to this question is: not enough. In all seriousness, I do have 2 bookcases in my house, plus the shelves I store my sewing books on in my sewing/craft room, and a few small shelves I store books on at work. I love…

By Andrea | August 31, 2015 |

August has been a light month of reading for me.  I lost two whole weeks of reading to moving into our new home. And since then, there have still been boxes to unpack and decorating to do, so I’ve had less time to read. That’s thanks in part to using a reading challenge that’s expanded…

Booklr Questions – Do you reread books?

By Andrea | August 25, 2015 |

Do you reread books? I certainly haven’t reread every book I’ve ever read. But, there are a few books that I find myself rereading on a fairly regular basis. I tend to read my copy of A Wrinkle in Time about once a year. It’s a book that I’ve enjoyed reading since I was first…

Exciting News

By Andrea | August 24, 2015 |

I’m excited to announce that I’m going to be an aunt!  My sister (and her husband) are having a baby.  And I got to take the announcement photos.  Since they posted them on Facebook yesterday, I think it’s safe for me to share them now. We had a lot of fun doing this quick little…

A New Home

By Andrea | August 14, 2015 |

I have some exciting news for you. My husband and I recently bought our very own home! There were a lot of blood, sweat, and tears along the way, but we finally achieved our dreams. And I couldn’t be prouder of ourselves, even more so because we just knew nothing about the real estate market,…
