Today was actually one of those days when you can’t seem to get things done. I spent most of the day on the phone with the bank, insurance, etc. So I was feeling a bit out of it and to top it off I hadn’t had time for blogs and reading. Luckily the evening was saved by a visit to Borders.

I spent a good part of the evening reading magazines like Paper Crafts and Somerset Studio. I’m contemplating making our Christmas cards this year so I wanted to get some inspiration. And, I used my the little 30% Off Coupon that I’d been hanging on to for a while on Silent in the Grave.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I’m looking forward to spending some time with a friend tomorrow.

Thanks to Eva I found out that this week is Children’s Book Week. I don’t read books for very young readers but occasionally I’ll check out some YA fiction. So, Eva’s post reminded me that I needed to tell you about Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher (link takes you to more of my thoughts).

This is a wonderful debut novel, and one that I think would be perfect for a book group discussion. This was actually an Advance Reading Copy and I’d love to share it, so if anyone is interested in this book leave me a comment and I’ll have a drawing for it. I’ll announce the winner on Monday.

Speaking of drawings and raffles, don’t forget to check out the Love of Reading online book fair. I checked out the list of books that are being raffled tomorrow and there are some good ones.

I’m off to catch up on my reading. I’m should be finishing Raven Black soon. I still can’t figure out who did it.
