Aside from the poetry book I mentioned in my last post, I also have several other books that I would like to finish this month. I’m tempted to add a new holiday-themed book but I have seven books in progress (some I’ve had going on for months and months) so it’s time to focus on these and finish at

Book Fest Books | Bookgirl's Nightstand
On Sunday we went to the Texas Book Festival and although I didn’t make it to the author events, my main goal was to check out the exhibitor tents. I had such a good time despite the heat.

It’s A Mystery | Bookgirl's Nightstand
