Ex-libris

Ganhei alguns ex-libris da Ana. Ex-libris, para quem não sabe:

Bookplate or ex libris – A printed label identifying the owner of a book. It is usually adhered inside a book’s front cover or to its front end paper. Many bookplates are decorative. They often bear a coat of arms (with or without a family motto) or some other design personal to the owner. Bookplates are sometimes called “ex libris,” because this Latin phrase meaning, “From the books of . . .” traditionally appears on bookplates. Modern bookplates often carry images or text praising books or scholarly pursuits.

Pencil Revolution

“I have always used pencils (who hasn’t?) but the reviews on Pencil Revolution alerted me to their finer details. I realized I had a couple decent pencils around the house and I tried out some others to see what all the fuss was about. I soon became pretty well addicted…

E se você me pergunta o que tem a ver um site de lápis com um site de amantes de livros, bom, em minha defesa, além do fato de eu ter adorado o site, eu posso dizer que fazer anotações a lápis nos livros é muito melhor do que a caneta

(apesar de eu, realmente, preferir que não seja feita nenhuma anotação em livro nenhum!)
