On this still-a-little-chilly Friday, I thought I'd just share some random thoughts (and links!) ... Like "what on earth happened to September and October?" This year has been flying by, and as November swiftly slides towards Thanksgiving and the holiday season, things will just seem to go even faster. Sounds like a good time to curl up with a hot drink and let your mind wander ... enjoy the quiet while it lasts ...
Want to see some too-cute mugs for holding that hot drink you're sipping? The crew over at EpicReads found some absolutely adorable ones, you can
check out their finds here. While you're poking around on their blog, this
Guide to Afternoon Tea might be of interest. (I confess, I don't always follow "the rules of tea" ... I rush things sometimes).
Movies are always a big thing around the holidays, and I for one am very excited about Thor: The Dark World; Frozen; and Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. There's also already a lot of talk about movies coming out
next year (Captain America: Winter Solider, anyone? And, of course, the final Hobbit installment!). One of the coolest things to me about movies right now is how many novels are turning movies -- I mentioned that
earlier this year -- but there's been an increase in YA novels that are hitting the big screen. Here's a list of
13 upcoming YA movies, some have release dates some are still in the works. I'm personally most excited about
The Scorpio Races, because I
fell in love with that book.
Look at this vintage ad for a library: isn't it awesome?
To see more,
swing by here ... and consider yourself forewarned: you can get very distracted clicking links and tracking through their various lists and etc. But it's fun, and I think we should try to bring back some of these vintage ads -- they're just plain cool.
