Hello awesome followers! And happy February! Isn’t it crazy that a whole month of 2015 has already come and gone? If I think about it too long, I start to feel anxious. So I’m going to just enjoy February while it lasts :). This is just a quick note to let you know that we’re still here! Tina is very busy at work, and at home, while I’m currently transitioning into a new job. So, you might not see us post as much for the next few weeks. Life, unfortunately (someone hurry up and hire me to read!), takes precedence…

Picture of the day: Tea is my best friend this week. Lemon tea, orange tea, green tea… all of the teas! You see, it is the season of germs and silly me thought I could avoid catching the hubby’s cold. No such luck 🙁  It’s times like these that I would love to stay in bed with my cup of tea and read all day. Sadly adult responsibilities make that a near impossibility. Between work obligations and trying to keep the house at a tolerable level of clean, I’m in bed by 9 pm every night out of pure exhaustion.…

Happy Saturday bookish people! I’m lazing around, doing some reading and other bookish things today. I hope you don’t mind if I do a little bit of promo for another book themed site that I run!

As the banner above mentions, we’re Bookishly Delighted and we’d love to have you come visit! Take a look around, and feel free to sign up if it sounds like something you’d enjoy. Link Here

Our blog will be quiet until Friday, as we’re spending these few days with our friends and family :). We’ll be back with more goodies and end of the year wrap up posts soon! In the meantime, enjoy your week! Happy Holidays!

I stumbled upon this amazing website called Unsplash in my wanderings about the web. Every 10 days they put up 10 free stock photos that you can do with what you like. This gorgeous forest was put up by Kim Daniel and I instantly fell in love with it. Isn’t it lovely? I think I have wanderlust, but it just calls to me. Anyway I realized that I do so much reading, and so much writing about that reading, that sometimes I forget to just step back and take some time to ramble about other things :). Like the fact that my husband…

As you all may have noticed, things have gotten a little sparse over here. It’s gotten to the point where blogging had to scoot down the priorities ladder a bit. Still, I love this blog and want to see it flourish! I’ve been debating on whether or not to bring someone else on to provide you quality content, and I’ve finally decided it’s time. Please welcome my new co-blogger, Tina! Hello lovely readers! My name is Tina and I love books. The wonderful Jessica, who I’ve known for *gasp* 15 years now, has invited me to join the HDB family…

Picture of the day: Because whether this is a kitten, or a puppy, or some kind of adorable new puff ball pet? It’s absolutely adorable! How can you have a bad Monday when something that adorable is staring at you? *** I’ve slowly been settling back in to blogging more regularly over here. I’m still only making it a 3-4 day a week thing, but it’s feeling more natural. I think I’m getting back into the groove of wanting to write new content. To all of you still out there? You have no idea how much I always appreciate you…
