Books and bookstores, you can’t love one without the other! Tbe American Booksellers Association has designated the last Saturday in April as Independent Bookstore Day. Of course, I always joke about how I would embrace any excuse to buy books, but in all seriousness, we need to be supporting independent bookstores more. Don’t get me […]
You will have to excuse me. People who know me well know I love celebrating anything about books. Put another way – I find any excuses satisfactory to go out and buy books so I may add them to the list of unfinished books I am struggling to read. However, World Book & Copyright Day […]
It is somewhat fun for days of celebration to return each year. I believe I learned about the National or International Book Lovers Day last year. It would appear, I then set a calendar reminder, when to read tens of books, buy dozens more and add about a 100 or more to my evergrowing lists […]

November makes a bit of sense because it is also NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writer’s Month! The origins of the Book Lover’s Day(s) though are […]
Half Price Books (HPB) is one of my favorite bookstore chains. You can’t necessarily love books without having favorites now, can we? I was scanning through my emails today, and found this neat blog post on HPB, and I thought it needed sharing. Not only do I love books of most kinds, I have a […]
