Riches in the Form of Books Poured All Over Mama Bookworm

I love my blog readers.  It’s likely because I know almost all of them personally (though I have branched out a bit thank you Loyal Reader Debbie).

This week’s success story comes from Dedicated Reader & Former Co-Worker & Current Brooklyn Dweller Courtney.  She has gifted my unborn child an incredible book… about books. 

It’s a Book by Lane Smith puts these digital times in perspective by describing what a book truly is – and more specifically, what it is not.  True, it has a bit more swearing than the average kids book, but that’s because the character unfamiliar with this idea of  “books” is a jackass both literally and figuratively.  This book nails me both in hobby and personality.  Well played, Courtney.  A sincere and barely public thank you.

This packaging made me feel famous

I’d also like to thank Longtime Loyal Reader & Receiver of Grief Lane for sending me two lovely and beautiful books for my fetus before the news was even public.  In fact, Top Reader Katherine used a photo op of this occasion to announce to our entire office that I was pregnant.  Another win for social media, friendship and what can only be categorized as minor hazing.

This photo announced my pregnancy to about 150 of my closest co-workers.

Most commented on the chicken salad I was about to eat for lunch, which was indeed delicious.

Bookworm cannot contain excitement about presents.
Especially when those presents are books!
