Guess who turns 4 years old today? My blog!

That’s four years of talking about books to be read, books to buy and the ever growing wish list. It’s four years of making some great friends in blogland. Peeps who feel like me about books. We get excited about book sales, about seeing a stack of books, etc. You guys are the best.

It’s been a wonderful four years so far and I can only wish that there will be many more to come. And, in Bookgirl tradition I’ll be having another giveaway for a handmade journal – actually make that two! So hope you’ll leave a comment and I promise to announce the winners in a couple of days.

Now, I off to eat this cupcake.

I got carded! I went to one of the Austin Public Library branches yesterday and got my Star Card. I feel very official now. heh.

The branch I went to is very close to me so that’s great right? Unfortunately this is not as good a library as my library in Dallas. I guess I got very spoiled because it’s a nice enough library but I miss the cafe, the comfy couches and all of the books that my library has.

This branch is also quite small and to top it off they have one fiction section which encompasses everything – romance, mystery, etc. I’m not used to that. I like knowing I can go to the mystery section if I’m looking for a mystery book you know. Ah well, there are other library branches that aren’t too far from me either so I’ll have to check those out to see what they are like.

Still I enjoyed using my library card and got two books out (the limit for first time use). I borrowed Die With Me by Elena Forbes (a British mystery) and The Third Angel by Alice Hoffman.

I am going back to Dallas this week to spend some time at the Craft Guild working on my bookbinding projects so while I’m there I think I need to visit my old library. Anyway, hope to visit with the rest of you during the Sunday Salon but right now I’m off to brunch with a friend.
