Hello frost on my windows.  Hello jingling bells.  Good morning, hot tea and toast.  Hello movie weekends and shopping trips.  Hello handmade gifts and creative joys.  Hello Advent and Emmanuel.  Hello joyful noises and semesters ending.  Hi there boots and socks and tights and layers upon layers.  Hello Christmas time.  You’re one of my favorites.

The Stacks

October 8, 2013

There was a three week break between this current semester and last.  I had a stack of books that had been calling my name during the summer, but that I wasn’t able to disappear in.  I disappeared for those three glorious weeks.  Here’s what I covered:   Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell stole my heart.  As […]
