Today my two bookclubs had an outing to Austin Book Arts Center. We learned to make journals! This was so much fun, and a great way to relax. It was fun to merge two groups of book lovers too.

Here are our finished journals. Thanks @Eyelit for sharing your photos!

Got my book nerd on with my fab #litsyatxreaderssociety book club (and a couple friends from my other book club) today. We learned how to make a notebook/journal and it was really cool to not only make a book - but to have it turn out so well (will post pics of the finished books in another post). Here‘s to many more book club field trips in the future! 💜📚😃

This sweetie pie is making a book before school. It‘s about Beyblade, his newest obsession. 🙄😆💚

There are people who love to read and prize the story above all else. They will read anything – traditional printed books, e-books, magazines, comic books, and so on. Then there are others who love the form of the book as much as the words. They love the feel and smell and heft of a book. They appreciate the font used to create the words, the paper used to create the pages, the color choices and artwork. This book is for the latter.
