Hi there!

I feel like I’ve been doing these a lot more frequently than once every month or so, but there are too many cool things not to share.

Like this little statue.  I saw it when I was walking into my building a few weeks back, and I keep meaning to share it because I think it’s cool.  Expect the unexpected and take what you need from the links below.

• Brittany Smith lost her Stand Your Ground hearing.
• How to reward yourself without spending money.
• I didn’t realize the Sunday scaries were a thing.
• Here’s a cool history of Hollywood backdrops.
• Who knew embroidered photographs could be so cool?
• Photo Corner: 1950’s Interior Design|Really Cool Optical Illusions|Top 50 Photographs From Around The World|Maria Snoeys-Lagler With Celebrities|Really amazing animal x-rays|Aerial Ocean Photography|Underwater Photography
• I really liked this interview with Stacey Lee about Asian-Americans in YA historical fiction.  I’ve only read Under A Painted Sky, but I really recommend it!
• Related: I loved this interview with Jenny Han.
• These tarot cards are pretty cool!
• I feel like I’m a unicorn here, but I have no problem getting rid of books on my shelves.  As much as I want to keep every book I buy, I just don’t have the room.
• I want all of these bookish things from Etsy.
• I loved reading about the spy next door.
• This death threat quilt made me both sad and angry, because people can be terrible.  But it’s also so important to read.
• I’ve had the exact same questions about Hogwarts for years.
• This blog post about the Krewe Of St Anne was absolutely beautiful.
• I don’t have kids, and I don’t plan on having any, but if anyone had done this with me as a teen, I feel like it would have helped a lot.

I hope you find something that will help you get through today, and have a great week!
