A Good Read, a Cute Bookmark, and a Favorite Warm Bevvy. Happy Fall!

September 6, 2012

For our September download, we took a cue from the change in weather. There’s something inviting and comforting about taking advantage of cool September mornings and evenings to curl up in your favorite nook with a warm bevvy and a book you are absolutely enjoying.  We’ve designed 10 new creative bookmarks for you to download and print free as a little fall reading list treat.  We just wish we could sit down and enjoy a Starbucks and a good read with you.

What was at the top of your summer reading list?  That book you couldn’t put down?  The one you were dying to talk to someone about?  Here’s your chance.  Help us all get started on our fall reading lists by sharing your summer favs.  Tell us what had you turning pages as fast as you could and we’ll send a little ‘thank you for sharing’ to your inbox.

Enjoy!

    Thanks for the bookmarks, they are cute! I was so excited I finally got to read The Hunger Games series this summer!

  9. Sharon September 7, 2012 at 1:13 pm

    Thank you for all of your downloads and ideas. You have great quality products.

  10. Paula September 7, 2012 at 1:16 pm

    To get ready for the movie in December, I read an old favorite- The Hobbit. Sky Dragons by Anne and Todd Macaffrey (Anne’s last book).

    Thanks for the bookmarks- can never have enough!

  11. Allie September 7, 2012 at 1:28 pm

    Thanks for the cute bookmarks! Definitely going to use these.

    This summer, the standout read for me was Diane Keaton’s memoir – “Then Again” – and it was phenomenal. It was a sort of co-memoir with her late mother. Her mother’s journal excerpts were included as well as stories of Diane’s life, loves, road to fame, etc. Couldn’t put it down!

  12. sarah September 7, 2012 at 1:42 pm

    The page turner I have been reading is Spirit Driven Success by Dani Johnson. My 2nd time reading it this year!

  13. Ari September 7, 2012 at 1:54 pm

    Thanks – these are so cute! I finally read the Book Thief, the Hunger Games, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (& the other 2 series) and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Next up, Gone Girl!

    • Fernando October 23, 2012 at 8:14 am

      Okay, sorted that last prbolem as well the clever bit that doesn’t display invisible bookmarks (or categories with no bookmarks) needs to be used in the closeall and openall functions.So I hacked frontend.php and in the openall and closeall functions, before the echo var el = document part, I added the code:$params = array_merge($merged_options, array( category’=>$cat->term_id));$bookmarks = get_bookmarks($params);if ( empty($bookmarks) )continue;Thanks for the plug-in it’s now replaced the blogroll-links plug-in

  14. Ashley B. September 7, 2012 at 2:07 pm

    I finally got around to reading Peyton Place this summer – it was a great summer read about the struggles and scandal of a small town in the late 1930s/early 1940s!

  15. Maria September 7, 2012 at 2:10 pm

    I read Redeeming Love by Francine RIvers and it was life changing!
    I also read a book that was a book for elementary and middle school kids called Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper, but a total must-read for anyone who wants to see kids with disabilities in a different light. Beautiful!

    • Christel October 21, 2012 at 4:41 pm

      Hi Angela, I am a long time reader of your blog and wanetd to give the input you ask for. I think it looks so amazing! Who did you have design it? My only suggestion is that when I first come to the blog, it takes a while for the pictures on the top bar to load and feels a little empty until they do. It could just be that my connection isn’t very fast too. I don’t know how easy this would be, but I wonder if you would like it better if they all came up at once (all three) and then the pictures just rotated through like you have them doing anyway. Really cool little slideshows, by the way!

  16. Amber V September 7, 2012 at 2:27 pm

    These are so cute! Thank you for sharing.

  17. Kim September 7, 2012 at 2:29 pm

    A page-turner for me this summer was Bloom (a memoir) by Kelle Hampton. Loved it!

  18. Amanda September 7, 2012 at 2:35 pm

    I just finished The Glass Castle … really good book. Also read Hotel Angeline, written by a group of authors. Unique approach, interesting read.

  19. Amanda September 7, 2012 at 2:43 pm

    Thank You!!

  20. Katie September 7, 2012 at 2:46 pm

    I read several books, but really enjoyed “One Drop: My Father’s Hidden Life–A Story of Race and Family Secrets” which is a biography of Anatole Broyard by his daughter. The father was mixed race but hid that fact from his children until his death. If you like geneaology and thoughtful discussion about race issues, you’ll like this book.

  21. Pamela September 7, 2012 at 3:12 pm

    Thanks so much for the great bookmarks – love them. You may want to add Heartbroken by Lisa Unger to your Fall reading list!

  22. Penelope September 7, 2012 at 3:13 pm

    Currently I have 3 books going with magazine inserts marking my place in each….
    The Other Boleyn Girl, What Women Fear, and Jesus Calls.
    I’m dying to read the 3rd in the Girl W/ the Dragon Tattoo series, but I can’t afford to stay up all night reading right now!

  23. Diane September 7, 2012 at 3:25 pm

    Love these! Love to read! Thanks so much!

  24. Jenny Haldeman Gillins September 7, 2012 at 3:30 pm

    I’m not a big novel reader but I love going to the library and checking out a bunch of DIY, interior design and photography books for some inspiration!

  25. Tara September 7, 2012 at 3:46 pm

    Thank you – I love your store and appreciate your freebies too!

  26. Karie September 7, 2012 at 3:57 pm

    How cute! Thanks! I enjoyed reading Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

  27. Beth September 7, 2012 at 4:09 pm

    Thank you! These are beautiful!

    • Beth September 7, 2012 at 4:11 pm

      Sorry, forgot to add my favorites: Loved reading The Night Circus, A Discovery of Witches and The Iron Druid Chronicles. Of everything I have read this summer (this year really) my favorite is The Night Circus.

  28. Katy September 7, 2012 at 4:21 pm

    Awesome! Thanks! I’m giving our niece a gift card for Barnes and Noble for her birthday – will have to include a cute bookmark or two.

  29. Cheryl September 7, 2012 at 4:42 pm

    These are great. Much better than my usual bookmark–a scrap of paper.

  30. Traci Ahangarzadeh September 7, 2012 at 5:07 pm

    Thank you so much for the download!!! This will inspire me to read even more!!!

  31. Cheryl September 7, 2012 at 5:29 pm

    Beautiful! Thank you! And love your title—what could be better than a good book and a warm beverage (with a little spirits!) on a chilly drizzly fall day?

  32. Alisha Martin September 7, 2012 at 5:36 pm

    I read just about anything I can get my hands on. :) This summer I read a few books in the Sookie Stackhouse series and the 50 Shades of Grey series.

  33. Natalie September 7, 2012 at 5:46 pm

    thank you!

  34. Christine September 7, 2012 at 6:36 pm

    I read Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne. I had never read it before and it was so interesting! Thanks for the cute bookmarks!

  35. Danielle Smith September 7, 2012 at 6:46 pm

    These are cute! Thank you.

  36. Michelle Huegel September 7, 2012 at 7:13 pm

    I don’t get much time to read, but I have snuck in a little re-read of one of my favorite paranormal series, the Otherworld series by Kelly Armstrong. Witches, vampires, werecats, oh my!

  37. Melissa @ A Time for Everything September 7, 2012 at 7:35 pm

    My favorites from this summer were Unbroken, 7, Anything, The Language of Flowers, and The Middle Place.Thank you for this adorable printable–all of my favorite happy colors!

  38. Megan Bowen September 7, 2012 at 8:01 pm

    These bookmarks are so creative!

  39. michelle s September 7, 2012 at 8:57 pm

    Thank you for sharing! And I love that people are writing books in comments..it will give me ideas! Our book club just started again and we have Three Cups of Tea, The Great Gatsby, The Princess Bride, The Evolution of Calpernia Tate, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Laks (sp?) to name a few. I love the bookmarks are different sizes depending on the book size/shape too!

  40. Diana September 7, 2012 at 9:04 pm

    These bookmarks are really sweet! My nephews will love laminating them! They can give as little gifts to others! Thank you for these PDF files!

  41. Linda Auclair September 7, 2012 at 9:22 pm

    I read Gillian Flynn’s two earlier novels: “Sharp Edges” & “Dark Places” while waiting for her current novel, “Gone Girl” to arrive at the library. I wasn’t disappointed by any of the three!

  42. Sandy September 7, 2012 at 10:05 pm

    I love reading cook books and I am a big fan of Jamie Oliver. HIs book: “30 Minute Meals” is amazing and shows that you do not need a lot of time to create something heathy and tasty!
    The bookmarks are wonderful. Thank you very much.

  43. eve September 8, 2012 at 12:30 am

    Thank you for the bookmarks! I read the Hunger Games series this winter (we’re in Aus)

  44. Katie September 8, 2012 at 12:37 am

    SO CUTE! I’m a librarian and I love finding cute, new bookmarks :) My favorite kid reads of the summer have been The Strange Case of Origami Yoda and Darth Paper Strikes Back – both by Tom Angleberger. For a more “grown up” read, I just finished Another Piece of My Heart by Jane Green and it was FANTASTIC.

  45. Rebekah {honeyandcheese} September 8, 2012 at 1:16 am

    Well, since my little one was born in mid-May, I didn’t have a whole lot of time for reading this summer. Novels, anyway. I have read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” quite a few times!

  46. AnnaC September 8, 2012 at 3:54 am

    So cute! I’m reading “Please Understand Me”, about different personality types right now. Totally interesting!

  47. Helen September 8, 2012 at 4:52 am

    fifty shades…

  48. Lindsey September 8, 2012 at 11:55 am

    I loved, loved, loved “3:16″ by Max Lucado, as well as “He Took the Nails” by the same author.

    • Gnana October 23, 2012 at 12:27 pm

      Hello, Great Plugin. I have a feature reqsuet. I’m using My Link Order to put my categories and links in the order I need them, however it’s a completely separate linking system apart from the default blogroll . Any way to set the link order for both categories and then links? Thanks!Courtney Bostdorff

  49. Paula Close September 8, 2012 at 7:55 pm

    This summer, I dove into my grandfather’s collection of condensed Reader’s Digest, starting with Grisham’s “The Runaway Jury,” followed by Palmer’s “Critacal Judgment” and Forsyth’s “Icon.” Thank you for the prinout!

  50. Tricia B September 8, 2012 at 11:57 pm

    The book I’ve been reading is called “Through the Veil.” I have loved it, especially since I am Scottish!

  51. Donna Guggemos September 9, 2012 at 12:58 am

  59. Mrs. Y September 11, 2012 at 4:22 pm

    The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin ~ lyrical, lush and lovely, like Autumn fruit…………………….

  60. jasmine September 11, 2012 at 5:52 pm

    Currently reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower… always have to read the book before the movie :) it’s sort of an updated, less angry Catcher in the Rye – very good

  61. libbywilko September 12, 2012 at 12:20 am

    Thank you ! Great bookmarks and I think great cards to use in my PL too .

    • libbywilko September 12, 2012 at 12:22 am

  62. Lauri September 12, 2012 at 2:18 am

    Thx for bookmarks – kids love them too! I just started reading Eat Pray Love!

    • Broderick October 21, 2012 at 11:42 pm

      Oh my gosh! I am so guilty of this. No more mioliln excuses. I did manage to go to Ikea on Tuesday to get those neat hanging modern shelf and finally display portraits of my family. It’s true, it’s so easy to trap our precious photos of our lovedones but are so quick to schedule appointments, take pictures of other families and spend hours retouching (so guilty of this). I finally did something about though this week. Thank gosh. You’re not the only one Angela and I enjoyed reading this post. Blessings.

  69. RacheL H. September 14, 2012 at 8:24 pm

    Thank you! I’m an avid reader and I like bookmarks. :)

    • RacheL H. September 14, 2012 at 8:25 pm

    I have several books that I’m currently reading and these will certainly make me come back to the right place :) Thank you for the wonderful gift. I love your products … Be blessed!

  82. Kristen September 26, 2012 at 1:26 am

    These are so cute! I am a middle school librarian, and I can’t wait to send my students to your blog! They are going to love downloading these. As for books…I can’t choose just one! The book that I read over the summer that made the biggest impact is Wonder by RJ Palacio. So heartwarming, it is a definite must read with your children! My guilty pleasure books are anything by Emily Giffin. Thank you again!

  83. Kendall September 27, 2012 at 3:16 am

    Thanks for the bookmarks! I really got into Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth.

  85. Carol September 30, 2012 at 9:49 pm

    Reading The Autobiography of Charles Spurgeon

    • Vera October 21, 2012 at 11:32 pm

      Collapsing blogroll uses a coenmmt code to place your blogroll where you want it in a page or post. This allows for an easily created links page, divided into sections by the link categories. At the moment, there is only one option, what color do you want the category header. This is very well done, but it seems very lonely so far. The author is very open to adding more options, and was very quick to figure out a problem caused by another plugin. A limited plugin right now, but lots of room for growth, with an enthusiastic author.

  86. Iiona October 8, 2012 at 4:10 pm

    Thank you so much!

  87. Heidi October 9, 2012 at 3:12 pm

    Love these, and so will the little! He is always looking for a bookmark since he and daddy are reading chapter books at bedtime now! I recommend “The Amazing Poo Plant” … it is just what it says and is super fantastic! As for grown up books, I am in the middle of Jodi Picoult’s Vanishing Acts and Barbara O’neal’s The Lost Recipe for Happiness.. so far love them both! =D

  88. ila October 11, 2012 at 5:44 pm
