Considering it is Skyscraper Day, thought it was time to look at buildings in a new way:
Once upon a time, the Smith Tower was the tallest building in Seattle.
Not that you can tell anymore…

Oh, Deer by Tommia Wright
“…yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.” ~ Habakkuk 3:18,19

A small collection of photos taken at the Museum of Flight:
How strange is this combination of proximity and separation. That ground – seconds away – thousands of miles away. ~Charles A. Lindbergh
There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ~Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
I think it is a pity to lose the romantic side of flying and simply to accept it as a common means of transport…. ~Amy Johnson
Snoqualmie Falls by Tommia Wright
Having fun with a disposable camera, courtesy of Arthouse Co-Op’s “A Million Little Pieces,” this was one of sixteen photos taken.
The gallery can be found here.
Final Friday Find….really.
That’s right folks, The Paperbook Blog is seeking guest posters to share with us your favourite books, authors, book stores and all else booky.
Do you love to read? Do you love to write? Do you love to write about reading or read about writing?
Then this could be the guest post for you!
I would like all posts to revolve around Penguin books, (or Penguin published authors, or even your local book store that sells these little gems!), bringing the reviews back to where I started from. They can be Penguins of any genre, but preferably Penguin Classics, simply because they are my absolute favourite. There are hundreds of these guys to choose from, and the beauty is, they’re only $10 each! Make friends with a Penguin, you’ll be glad you did.

Another fun Friday find!
A Girl Named Cord is now on sale!!!
The sale only lasts until Labor Day (9-2-2013) so get your copy for 99 cents while you can!!!

Briana Vested does a wonderful job of telling this dusty tale filled with action, drama, and romance, not necessarily in that order. This doesn’t happen often to me, but once I got to know Cord and the rest of her great cast of characters, I had a hard time putting this book down.”
Friday Fun Find!
Both of these high fantasy novels
are available on Amazon for
.99 cents!!!

Excerpts from Legends of Windemere: Beginning of a Hero reviews:
“This was a good book. No, it was a great book. There was adventure, a teensy bit of romance, great characters who were described in wonderful detail, and a story that kept you wanting to read more.” -Pamela Beckford
“I have always loved fantasy. I think the very first series I ever read was the Belgariad by David Eddings. Although it has it’s differences I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Belgariad while reading Legends of Windemere. The main characters are alike. They are both young and full of themselves. I can only imagine how much Luke Callindor will grow though the series.” -Annie2186
“I enjoyed the book. I wasn’t sure about the present tense, but I thought it…
