Today I had to wait for more than an hour to get a tire fixed and you know what, when you have a book with you it’s really not bad. Sure, I would much rather have been at a cafe or home reading but at least I knew I had some uninterrupted time to catch up on my reading. Gotta love those moments especially when I feel like I’m behind on everything.
So this weekend I hope to catch up on my blog reading, organizing around the house and I think it’s time to finally take the bike out to the veloway. It’s been a while so wish me luck!
Anyway so for today I just have some bookish links for you. I hope you enjoy these as much as I have:
You can’t do this with a Kindle but you can with an old book you want to repurpose! Aren’t the paper cups beautiful?
Wouldn’t you like to see Recovering the Classics in your library? They have some great stuff in their shop so take a look.
Speaking of shopping, isn’t this t-shirt phenomenal. Poetry month is coming soon so it would be just the thing to wear to a poetry reading I think.
In case you don’t already have a list of writers to watch for this year, BookPage has the 9 Women to Watch in 2016. Yup, I’m adding more books to my list.
Have a great weekend everyone and more bookish stuff soon!
Those cups are lovely and look so delicate. Have a great weekend and enjoy the bike ride!
I’ve seen Levy’s work before–marvelous stuff! I had not seen the pitcher and cups from comic books, though, and love them! The recovering the classics idea is a great idea, and I love the way they are inviting artists to design new covers.
I’m reading Anne Sexton’s poems now. I probably won’t finish before Poetry Month is long gone. I’ve read many of her poems in anthologies over the years, but this is a complete collection of her works. It is slow and sometimes painstaking reading. Sexton’s poems are often tough, bristly, and confessional. Some days, one poem is all I can manage. I look forward the section on Transformations. I’ve really liked the way she transforms fairy tales.
I’m hoping to get out on the bike trail this weekend, too! It’s time!
I will have to look into those upcoming books by women. Thanks for sharing!
Ooh, should not have checked that link of nine women to watch for this year. Those are some great sounding books though.
Sorry about the tire fix but yay for books!
Those unexpected reading times can be wonderful, can’t they? Even if not when the most convenient. Oo! I love that t-shirt in the link you shared!
