(I'm hoping down the road when I have more time to read I can add in the "something borrowed" and "something blue"... but for now, when I'm lucky to read 2 books a month, it's just "old" and "new".)
On my reading list for January 2015 is...
{ Something Old }

"Unnatural Creatures is a collection of short stories about the fantastical things that exist only in our minds—collected and introduced by beloved New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman.
The sixteen stories gathered by Gaiman, winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards, range from the whimsical to the terrifying. The magical creatures range from werewolves to sunbirds to beings never before classified. E. Nesbit, Diana Wynne Jones, Gahan Wilson, and other literary luminaries contribute to the anthology.

Look for my reviews for these books coming soon to the Book Nook!
This is such a fun idea, and I love the button you made! :) Would you mind if I join in, too? (Giving credit to you, of course, and linking back to your blog when I post about it!) I'm in need of a little motivation to read "something old" more often, in addition to "something new."
ReplyDeleteLet me know if that would be all right! You have such creative features here on your blog. :)
Happy New Year!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I love coming up with new features for my blog but I'm never sure if anyone else will think they're fun, so it's really nice to hear that you do too! :)

No worries. I do believe it was a mistake that you did not intend to use without permission. Thank you for dealing with it so quickly. I've removed the previous comments so not to clutter up your comments section with things not to do with the page itself. Feel free to remove this once to once read if you like.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a mistake and I feel bad it happened. Thank you for being understanding. I'll delete these. :)
