Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is all about book recommendations. I’ve read lots of great books that people suggest to me, so I wasn’t sure how to narrow down this topic until I thought about the one person with whom I…

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, and celebrating the holiday is all about finding ways to invite sweetness and good things into the coming year. It’s a wonderful part of fall, and it always reminds me that new beginnings don’t happen only once a year. In my family it’s always been a fairly low-maintenance…

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish. Hermione Granger admittedly does not watch a lot of television–she’s too busy running the Ministry of Magic to have time for that kind of muggle pursuit. However, everyone needs a way to unwind and Hermione’s guilty pleasure involves accessing her secret DVR…

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish. In college I took a required class that I hated–a library studies class that taught you how to use the databases. Useful, but mind numbingly boring. The best thing to come out of that class was the discovery of…
