Bookish Thoughts: World Book Night

I’m sure that a lot of you have heard of this, but I’m so excited about it I want to make sure everyone is in the know!
World Book Night started last year as just a day to promote a love of reading, literacy and books. Totally up my alley. This year, they expanded into the [...]

Bookish Thoughts: The Joy of Books

I know that a lot of people shared this earlier in the month- I saw it then, but for some reason didn’t show you guys. I have maybe watched it about 10 times since then. It is amazing.
So even if you saw it before, watch it again.

Shaun sometimes makes little stop motion videos, so [...]

Bookish Thoughts: In Vlog Form

For your enjoyment, I have answered some book-realated question for a little vlog thingy!

I even washed my hair… and got dressed. Before noon. Guys, this is big news.

Bookish Thoughts: Raising a Reader

I am kind of playing this parenting thing mostly by ear. I, for the most part, have no idea what I’m doing and just respond to Izey and hang out with him and love him.
There is one thing though that I’m pretty purposeful about and that is making sure that he has a love [...]

Anyway, it got me [...]

Bookish Thoughts: Beautiful Shelves

It’s probably been a good month since I showed you some shelves I’ve been collecting. Pinterest has only fueled an obsession that’s been going for a long time, but oh man are there some beauties on there. Here’s what I’ve been drooling over lately.

Oh man do I love this. I can totally see this [...]

2012 Goals

Last year was the first time that I set real reading and blog related goals for myself. It was so fun to chip away at them and to see, in the end, that I really did accomplish them.
For the most part, my goals this year are fairly similar to my goals from last year, with [...]

Best of 2011

You guys know that I love a good list, so after seeing so many great “Best of 2011″ lists, I couldn’t resist making one of my own. I wanted to wait until 2011 was officially over just in case I read a great one at the tail end, and here we are- 2012.
