You guys, I discovered the best thing today… A Calvin and Hobbes search engine!!! Calvin and Hobbes remains my favorite comic strip despite the fact that it is no longer published. And as I have written in the past, one of my all-time favorite gifts from J is the Calvin and Hobbes Boxed Set. I can’t […]
Books and infographics. How could I resist? Designed by Italian artist Giorgia Lupi, this timeline of future events as predicted by famous novels was originally published in the Sunday supplement of Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera. She generously created an English version for the site Brain Pickings, and I can’t help but be mesmerized! The resulting visualization is predictably HUGE, […]

J is OBSESSED with the Game of Thrones books. Because he has them on his tablet and I prefer physical books over e-books, he bought me the boxed set and asks me EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, “What part are you at now???” I’m still pretty early in the series, but I have read enough (and heard enough!) to […]
Claire has been a big fan of pop-up books since she has been able to reach for, and grab at objects. And as soon as she turned 1, she began a love affair with books of all kind (just like her mama) and finally stopped ripping out pages or ruining the pop-up mechanisms. I too, […]
My vote is on Shang and Mulan to win. Who would you pick? Via 9GAG. P.S. — I know I’m about 2 months late on this, but I absolutely LOVED The Hunger Games movie. I honestly believe it was the best book-to-movie adaptation I have ever seen. I can’t wait until Catching Fire and Mockingjay are released in […]
