"It was amazing how many books one could fit into a room, assuming one didn't want to move around very much." -Brandon Sanderson, The Well of Ascension.

I read the first book in the Mistborn series last year and fell in love! Then a whole lot of other stuff got in the way of me moving on to the second book, but this week I got the audio off of hold (finally!!) on Libby, and since I had a snow day, I spent a few hours listening. I am sucked right back into the world of Vin and Elend and Sazed and the crew, and loving every minute of it.

Q: If you could have an unexpected day to yourself tomorrow, what would you do with it?
.
More snow in the forecast tonight. Wondering if I'll get yet a 3rd snow day.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
-Robert Frost.

Q: Do you get snow where you live? How do you feel about it either way?
.
Seattle got some snow last night and today. Just a dusting really, though I gather it's a lot more just a few miles north (where I work) as well as east up in the mountains. So of course, I had to share a few of my favorite wintery bookish things today, including this illustrated collection of Frost poetry, the woodsy booksleeve made by the talented Joyce @pages.remembered and this adorable "winter slumber" fox pin Cade @heyatlascreative included in their Equinox Box for winter--I actually squealed out loud when I pulled it out of the box. I love it so much!

Q: Is there a new release that is less popular on booksta that you loved and I should know about?
.
This book!! I am about 100 pages in, and if I didn't have a ton of household chores to do today, I would snuggle up under my favorite soft blanket and read right through to the end in one sitting. It is so intriguing and interesting (synopsis below) and I want to say a huge THANK YOU to @berkleypub for gifting me an early copy. Expect a full review on my blog soon!
.
And featured here is my most favorite booksleeve in all the world, from Loni's @tababooksleeves shop. Go check out all her beautiful sleeves and mugrugs and use rep code SLPREADS10.
.
SYNOPSIS: Acclaimed author Colleen Oakley delivers a heart-wrenching and unforgettable love story about a woman who must choose between the man she loves and the man fate has chosen for her in a novel that reminds us that the best life is one led by the heart.
.
Mia Graydon's life looks picket-fence perfect; she has the house, her loving husband, and dreams of starting a family. But she has other dreams too — unexplained, recurring ones starring the same man. Still, she doesn’t think much of them, until a relocation to small-town Pennsylvania brings her face to face with the stranger she has been dreaming about for years. And this man harbors a jaw-dropping secret of his own—he's been dreaming of her too.
.
Determined to understand, Mia and this not-so-stranger search for answers. But when diving into their pasts begins to unravel her life in the present, Mia emerges with a single question—what if?

Beautiful words my friend. 😄 maybe you need to publish your own work so I can have it.
Awww, you are way too sweet friend. I would love to get published, but it’s even harder with poetry than with fiction!
