Bibliomanic

I am a bibliomanic... a book lover... an avid reader.  I love books! 

If you search my previous posts (label = BooksRead), you'll find a multitude of book cover collages.  Every book that I read is a special reminder of a story lived, a journey traveled, and hours spent immersed in somebody's reality.   Last year, I read 75 books!  My 2020 Book Challenge is 80 books!!!  Every month, I inch closer to my goal.  

It is only fitting that I create a bookmark.  Not just any bookmark, but a glitter filled bookmark to celebrate and shine a sparkly light on my love for books.  Visit my ChickRocks shop to snatch your bookmark.

I did not read as many books as previous months because the demand for fabric face masks have been at an all time high.  I'm not complaining, I get to listen to hours of my favorite podcasts while I'm cutting fabric, ironing, or sewing.  I will share some of my favorite podcasts in a future post.
