Going into hibernation

I'm putting this blog into hibernation for the unforeseen future. I have been reading as much as ever, but my interest in blogging about it has taken a decided downward turn and the blog has been languishing for more than a year. I may stop by now and again if I feel the urge to post something or I want to update the Invisible Library page, but other than that I don't plan on blogging here regularly until my interest in reviewing returns. This may happen a month from now, or a year, or possibly never, I really can't say.

In the meantime, why not check out my Photoblog?

(Christmas) gift suggestions for book-lovers

I did this once before (thought I'd done more, but I can't find them). As I have come across more goodies for book-lovers, I decided to do another one. With pictures. And links (just click on the photo and the link will open in a new window).

A book holder

 I like the look of these (I haven't tested any of them, but I do own a Little Book Holder. I just haven't found occasion to use it yet.)

A personal library kit

For the inner librarian and for the person who lends out a lot of books and then complains when people forget to return them:

Archival book covers

Another one for the inner librarian, also for the collector and indeed any other person who insists on keeping their books looking fresh and unread:

Library book pockets

Buy them from stationery shops or make them yourself. Here are some examples from one blogger.

I'm considering making some to put in my books to hold bookmarks when I'm reading, because I often put the bookmark somewhere I can't find it and have to hunt up a new one.
