supplies for hibernation

If you are going to hibernate, you will need some books.
Here is what I have been enjoying lately.

The new Moomin comic. I have not actually read this yet as I am saving it for a time when I truely need it. Paul picked this up for me while braving the boxing day sales. Mad, he is! (please excuse my blatently swiped pics with the annoying "search inside!" arrows!)





The latest Isabel Dalhouse book which I was so surprised to see at the store that I grabbed it and bought it immediately despite being a hardback which I never buy. I had to find out what was going to happen next! I saved it till Christmas though and addressed it: "to Tania, love from Santa".






Once I got back to work, I finally treated myself to this book in the sales. It is just so pretty and nice to look at. I even made a tote bag the other night after looking through this which felt good. I will take a picture and show you.


Also, some library visiting turned up Tease which is a cute little book with some potentially do-able things in it and also this little book- Linen Crafts which was just plain pretty and so I took it home. I looked through The Family Home while I was there and I really liked that too. Lots of cozy friendly rooms, but it was far too heavy to take home.

Oh, I love Moomin! Ruby got a Moomin book from some friends in Finland (which retails for, like, $300 used on Amazon -- if you want to make your fortune, start importing kids' books from Finland), and it's one of her absolute favourites. So awesome. I haven't checked out the comics (and I think there are young adult novels as well), but the kids' picture books are a big hit in our house.
