Despite failing to complete our Library Challenge by the end of the year (and my tendency to wallow) we’re still here and eager to […]
Just in time for Christmas we received our gift from the Book Blogger Holiday Swap! We mentioned the items that we sent to our secret book blogger earlier in this post. And yay! this weekend we got a box full of goodies from our secret blogger! I was so excited I didn’t even want to eat dinner… just tore right […]
Aloha Friday! It’s time for another Book End and as it’s the holiday season, the number of literary events has tailed off quite a bit in comparison to the weekends prior. However, there are still a number of interesting book signings, fun library events for the family, and other interesting happenings. Keep supporting Hawaii’s local […]
