looking for a good book?
If you’re looking for a book to get the bad taste of twilight out of your mouth (disclaimer: i have read the entire twilight series, so i am allowed to bash it), do yourself a favor and pick up Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book. This book tells the story of a boy named Nobody “Bod” Owens who, after his family is murdered, is adopted and raised by the occupants of an old graveyard.
I read this book last winter and it was one of the best books i’ve read in quite some time. I constantly tell people to read this book, yet I feel they write it off as one of the many sub par replacements for the Harry Potter series. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. If you have ever read any of Neil Gaimen’s works (Sandman, Stardust, Coraline), you know there is something special about his writing how it draws you into his fantastical worlds.
The Graveyard Book may not have garnered the attention of the twilight series, but it was not overlooked by the critics. The Graveyard Book was awarded with the 2009 Hugo, Newbery, and Locus awards. If you haven’t read this book yet, I highly recommend you doing so (especially since a film adaptation is currently in the works).

keep your head warm this winter
As winter continues to kick in and the temps drop, we can start to dust off our sweaters and coats. But don’t forget to keep your noggin warm during these chilly times. One of my favorite things about winter is that I get to wear my beanies.
If you’re looking for a comfortable and fashionable beanie for yourself (or Christmas gifts), check out the wide selection Coal Headwear has to offer. My favorites are the Carlson and the Frena (solid). If it wasn’t so damn warm 3/4 out of year in Southern California, I would wear these beanies year round.
The Carlson
The Frena (solid)
Coal beanies are more expensive than most, but you get what you pay for. A well-constructed, comfortable, and fashionable beanie. Check out their website here to see what they have to offer and when you see something you like, do a quick google search for a more affordable price.

(31) days of good: Day 2
There was too much good music this past year (which is a good thing), so we decided to do 2 tracks a day. Today we chose “My Girls” by Animal Collective and “All is Love” by Karen O and the Kids.
You can listen to the tracks at 35mm-beats-fabric-letters.blogspot.com
