I finished my book last night and now I’m ready for a new one but I just don’t know which one next. I’m sort of in the mood for a good family drama. I’ll have to go hang out by my stacks and see what captures my attention so a quick post today but I wanted to share some fun stuff:

• Little Free Library. Isn’t this cute? I think every neighborhood should have one of these.
• For those of you who enjoy bookplates, you can even one for your eReader!
• Love Penguin book covers? I couldn’t resist and had to buy a sheet of this paper. Don’t know what I’ll make with it yet.
• Speaking of bookmaking, wouldn’t you like your very own Jane Austen novel – special book covers, binding style?
• Last but not least, I studied bookbinding with this very talented artist and now he’s won quite a special prize. So well deserved.

Alright guys, I’m going to get one of the last pieces of German chocolate I brought back from my vacation, go find a book and relax the rest of the evening.

When I went on vacation in July I had stocked up my Kindle with some books and also thanks to NetGalley I found some good reads but pretty much as soon as I came back the Kindle has been put away and it’s back to my stacks of books.

And, my how those stacks grew over the summer. I finally opened up all of my packages this past weekend and here’s the book bundle:

You can’t even see them all! There are some YA titles, thrillers, novels, Sci-Fi and even a short story collection. Thank you to all the wonderful publishers who sent these. Here’s the full list:
