Guess who turns three this weekend? My blog! That’s three years of writing about books I’ve read, books I’m reading and books I want to read. Best of all, it’s three years of being a part of the wonderful book blog community.

As always, thank you to everyone who visits, comments and shares the love of books. Through you I’ve discovered many new writers and books and I thank you for that. My shelves and TBR list are overflowing.

Now in the yearly Bookgirl tradition, leave me a comment, you can tell me what your favorite read for this year has been or just say hi, and I’ll have a drawing for a special handmade book. I’ll choose a winner Sunday night. Buena Suerte!

Meanwhile, I plan to celebrate the bloggiversary this weekend with a date night at the bookstore, a bit of bookbinding to make that special giveaway book, and hopefully basking in some uninterrupted reading hours. Hope you have a great weekend!

Ah, a good night’s sleep and some hatha yoga really do wonders don’t they? Granted here I am staying up late but what can I say, I am a night owl.

Anyway, I finally posted my thoughts on two books I recently finished, The Last Summer (of You & Me) by Ann Brashares and To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis (links will take you to my reviews). I had a bit of a problem with one aspect of The Last Summer (of You & Me) but on the whole it was quite readable and would make a perfect beach book. To Say Nothing of the Dog was thoroughly enjoyable and is one of my choices from the Once Upon A Time challenge. I still have several other books I need to talk about so stay tuned.

Chances are I won’t finish the OUAT challenge but I have started another book today, Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. So far the word grim comes to mind to describe this book. I’ll let you know how it goes.

But you know what I’m oohing and ahhhing over right now? The Hesperus Press catalog. Thank you to Danielle and Tanabata who recently have mentioned this small press, and thanks to Ellie over at Hesperus Press for sending me the catalog. I have already checked off several books I want.
