Quick and mini book reviews

So several people know that in real-life, I'm an aspiring librarian. This of course influences what Christmas presents I get for my family (heh heh heh).

For my brother, his scarf is still in the post-cast-on stage. Once I finish my second sock, I'll dive right back to his Christmas present. It might be wrapped up still on the needles, with a promise of "I'll finish it, I swear."

For my niece I picked up Horns & Wrinkles by Joseph Helgerson at the Scholastic Book Fair. It looks like a cute book, and I'll be reading it before I give it to her (and being very careful to not break the spine while doing so).

I read an absolutely beautiful pop-up book last night at Borders, which I desperately covet. Tomie de Paola's Brava, Strega Nona. This book is totally made of win.

Pictures later this week of Trish's (finished!) scarf and the sock-in-progress.
