2009, Here We Come December 24, 2008

It’s time to welcome a new year and change the calendars. If you have a hobby or favorite place/animal/celebrity/artist, you can probably find a calendar to suit. Here are some lesser known and favorite calendars. All the photography calendars listed below are of my own photography (yes, a shameless plug).

Cozy Up With A Good Book December 24, 2008

There are those who believe that heaven may resemble a library. If you are one of them, this post is for you.

If you want to cozy up with a good book (perhaps on a dark and stormy night), be extra cozy with a Snuggie ($19.95) from Get Snuggie or Slanket ($39.95) from Solutions. Yes, they look a little odd, but they keep you warm and your hands are free for turning pages.

Warm enough or perhaps not into Druid-like reading robes, check out the darling ‘We Belong Together’ tee-shirt ($18.95) from Bas Bleu. Perhaps man’s best friend is a dog and a good book.

Now, what is good reading attire without a good book? Time Magazine’s list of the 100 best English-language novels (1923-present).
