{friday finds: nook covers}

Jenn — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:00:00 +0000

I’ve just recently acquired a Nook through the generosity of my family members {barnes & nobles gift cards are the way to my heart}, so I’m exploring options to cover my new infatuation. The Kate Spade ones are lovely, yes. However, I’d like to keep it cute and frugal. If you know of any cute Nook covers, please let me know!

{bookworm: overnight socialite}

Jenn — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:00:59 +0000

A few weeks back, I was sent a copy of The Overnight Socialite for review. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. You might be surprised by this, but I don’t read chick-lit that often. The book was pitched as a retelling of Pygmalion and, perhaps more familiar to you, My Fair Lady.

Chick-lit and Pygmalion? Together?

Really?

Skeptical me. Well, I’m happy to say that I liked the book. I’ve been sent some books that I disliked, even some that I disliked so much that I felt the need to give a not so stellar review instead of none at all. I hate doing that, but I must. So, I’m happy that my skepticism washed away when I opened up The Overnight Socialite. It was witty, fun, and not overdone. I feel like that genre has a ton of books that try to hard. This isn’t one of them. Bride Clark, the author, did a great job of making sure that the book had balance and a good flow. I read it straight through {which is always a good sign.}

You can read my review over at the Little Pink Book for more info. If you read the book, let me know what you think!

Officially the coolest macbook case ever. This could be the bookworm in me, but it really is fabulous. Substantial protection and when is a book not in style? You can get it for $79.99 via here.

{friday finds: pop-up books}

Jenn — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:00:53 +0000

Remember how exciting pop-up books made reading as a kid? The story would completely come to life. The fact that you could touch and play, instead of just listen and look, was so much better. Don’t you still freak out when you see a great pop-up book? {If you say no, I swear I’ll slap you silly, because I know if I dangled a pop-up book in front of you, you couldn’t help but squeal in delight. Even a grown man would get nostalgic and misty eyed. It’s a fact.}

Below are several videos of some great pop-up books. {If you are viewing this in e-mail, you must visit the site to see the videos.}

Also, the Little Prince is available as a pop-up book! I bought this one for Munchkin a few days ago. It’s beautiful. Expect pictures on the blog soon!

Apparently, Peter-Pan is also available as a pop-up. I have yet to see this one in person, but I’d like to! Munchkin had a Peter Pan obsession for awhile, so perhaps I’ll get it for him, too.

This one is obviously for me, since I don’t have a daughter. I’ve seen this one many times. My best friend and I drooled over it. There were so many little bits to explore. Absolutely gorgeous.

Do you have a favorite pop-up book? I’d love to know!
