Books, Puppies, and Fun oh my!

July 23, 2020 By Cara Putman

One of the things I've done bit by bit through our time at home these last months is organizing different corners of the house. I had to laugh when each bookshelf I was working through had a copy of the same Lisa Scottoline book.

Hello. Today's post is brought to you by Santa and his little elves. When in doubt about what to get people for Christmas, a gift certificate to a bookstore (brick and mortar or online) is always a good idea. With everything from how-to and cookbooks, history, religion, fiction of all kinds and those side trinkets that go with books, I can't imagine anyone turning down a good browse in the … [Read more...]

Making Books a Part of Your Holiday Traditions

December 15, 2017 By Jody Hedlund

Christmas traditions. We all have traditions of one kind or another including baking, caroling, decorating, family gatherings, special outings, and more. As I was thinking of some of the Christmas traditions in my family, I realized that books have had (and continue to have) a special place in our Christmas traditions. One way I incorporated book into the holidays was by making Christmas … [Read more...]
