Finally, I’ve gone back to the library after my self-imposed ban at the start of the Summer. I love the library, don’t get me wrong, but I really wanted to start whittling away at the stacks of ARCs and TBR books. If you saw the stacks you probably would think I didn’t make that much of a dent but I can squeeze in a few more books now so that’s a good sign.

Anyway, since I wanted to find the book for my next mystery book group meeting I decided to see if the library and had it, and they did but I couldn’t leave with just one book, right? Here’s my little stack (and my mug) waiting for me to dig in this weekend.

• Lush Life by Richard Price. This is the October selection for my mystery group.
• A Deadly Paradise by Grace Brophy. I read the first entry in her Commissario Cenni series, which I really liked, and this is the second one. I can’t wait to travel back to Umbria to see what Cenni and his team will be up against this time.
• Unseen by Mari Jungstedt. I’m always up to try a new Scandinavian author and this one is by a Swedish author.

I’m hoping I can start one this weekend although how much reading I get done will depend on when our family arrives.

Anyway, what books are you reading this weekend? Any new mysteries?

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and more book talk soon.

I think I mentioned recently that I’ve been working on some journaling tags. Here’s what I’m talking about:

Just a lot of messy painting (my favorite kind) and then with my rubber stamps, funky yarns and good old pen & ink I plan to turn them into this:

The key is that each tag will have a journaling prompt. I’ll tell you why I’m making these later but let me just say they are so fun to make.

In other crafty adventures, I’ve succumbed and started a Facebook Fan Page for Bookgirl’s Studio. I figured that might be an easy way for people to keep up with what’s going on in the Studio. I’ll always mention sales, new products, etc. here as well but if you are on Facebook and want to be my fan, I’d greatly appreciate it!

And, speaking of Bookgirl’s Studio, I’m having an End of Summer Sale this weekend on some of my beaded journals. You can already check them out here. I’m just trying to make room for some new stuff.

More bookish stuff tomorrow.
