Comic Book Coasters

A crowd-favorite!

Comic Book Coasters are relatively low-cost, but they are a bit of a time-suck. So it's super important to have an alternate activity to occupy their time while they wait until their layers of Mod Podge dry. My suggestion: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World!

Based on the delightful graphic novel series, Scott Pilgrim is full of quirk and snark and should please the vast majority of your teens.

But I digress....

It Begins: Revamping a Teen Department

My new teen department desperately needs some TLC. I'm loving the nice furniture and computers in the space, but the programming needs a renovation. It is just so dull...

Thus begins Day 1 of creating an awesome action plan to boost those numbers!

Mr & Mrs BookGeek2 take on Wales!

In August, BookGeek2 and Mr. BookGeek2 adventured to Wales. I wanted to show Mr. BG2 my old campus at University of Wales Aberystwyth. So we returned after an 11 year hiatus.

We did see the sites in London.

We traveled to Aberystywth and saw the coastline

The Castle...

Road the Rheidol Train to Devil's Bridge...

2003 Trip to Devil's Bridge

2015 Trip to Devil's Bridge

and tried to find my old dorm....

alas, it was torn down.

But all was not lost. My friend Anna lives in Plymouth, so we traveled to see her, Mr. Anna, and her cute button.

And visited BookGeek1's plant, Steve, that she nurtured her year in Wales and left in Anna's great care. Steve has many children all over Plymouth and is living the pampered life of a house plant with a cat and a toddler as companions.
