Follow Friday/Book Blogger Hop

Today's Question is:


How did you come up with your blog name?

I basically answered this on my About page, but it started with The Blue Fairy's Workshop, where I post my custom toys and dolls as well as other art projects. The Bookshelf has grown to be a much bigger site, but it started out as an extension of my first blog.

Today's Question is:


Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?


It depends, but I will often read more than one book at once. I might have one in my bag and one by the bed, or pause what I'm reading on my Kindle to dash through something that is about to be due back at the library. Sometimes I try to finish one before starting another, especially if I'm finding the book hard to concentrate on, but it's not a rule.

    Hopping through. I often end up pausing books to dash through something that's due at the library too.

If the Fates Allow Edited by Annie Harper, 2017 New Release! I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for the purpose of review. Premise: Five stories of love, hope, and forgiveness at the holidays. Do you need some warm and fuzzy holiday cheer? Do you love love? This new collection features five LGBTQ holiday romances that make your heart feel full of sugarplums. I smiled and sighed and giggled. It's seriously sweet, without being too sweet.

The Silence of the Elves (crosspost)

The Silence of the Elves Meg Muldoon, 2016 Premise: Holly's been demoted right out of the North Pole through no fault of her own, but she'll need more than hope to get her life back on track. You may recall that I kind of liked another one of Meg Muldoon's holiday-themed cozy mysteries , so when I saw she had a new series that was explicitly about Christmas elves, I had to try it.

The Santa Claus Man (crosspost)

The Santa Claus Man: The Rise and Fall of a Jazz Age Con Man and the Invention of Christmas in New York Alex Palmer, 2015 Premise: In the early 1900s, more children began to write letters to Santa, and the Post Office asked for help. Enter John Duval Gluck Jr. and his creation: The Santa Claus Association. This was an interesting book overall, although the payoff is smaller than I would have preferred. The book paints a complex and intriguing picture of New York in the first few decades of the twentieth century, particularly around Christmas. The specific story of Gluck and his various "charities" is only the largest thread; the book also explores early influences on the image of Santa, how various staples of Christmas (public tree-lightings, parades, etc.) started or became notable in New York City.
