Stained Glass Marks My Spot

I love the look of stained glass, and with the weather finally getting nice, the sunshine streaming through the windows makes me think of some ways to incorporate it into my reading.  These gorgeous bookmarks are exactly what I was looking for.

Noted

As I 'm sure you can see from my What I'm Reading Now list, and my complete and utter random ramblings that I usually read several books at once.  Sometimes it is hard to keep certain detail that I want to put in the rambling in my head, so I have started carrying around a notebook to help me keep track.  Sometimes I write down a quote, sometimes it's a page number to go back an reread a scene, sometimes it is just something that strikes me in a certain way.  As I read through certain books sometimes they talk about things or events I want to look up later (I love that in a book), other times I just need to gush or vent.  In any case here are a few ways I can jot down my personal notes.
Shoulder Strap Notebook
This is perfect for when I am on the go and don't want to carry extra stuff around
Magic Notebooks
These Harry Potter inspired notebooks are great for jotting down magic discoveries
Quote Notebook
What better place to write down quotes then this little notebook?
Sherlock Notebook
Clues to whether this is a good book or not can go in here
Happily Ever After Notebook
This is a great place to write down all the Happily, or Not So Happily Ever Afters.
These notebooks are all wonderfully cool, wonderfully portable and hopefully soon to be wonderfully full on notes on all the wonderful books I'm gonna read (in case you were wondering, wonderful is the word of the day).  I have delusions that some day in the far distant future my extensive library will be unearthed, along with all of my babbling notes and they will think me some great literary critic...or laugh hysterically at my depraved ramblings.
Do you take notes on your books if you don't have too?  How awesome are e-readers for taking notes?  Am I taking my reading WAY too seriously?

Aspen May's Rainbow

Duty last night so I'm a little toasty as my Mamma would say, but it promises to be another beautiful spring day so YAY!
Aspen May's Rainbow Sculpture 
I stumbled across this sculpture, interestingly enough inspired by Einstein.  I thought it was the perfect little visual for a beautiful day like today.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Dancing Masks

One of my favorite picture books, gorgeous illustrations, good story, plus gypsies and masks WOOHOO!  I still pull this one out to flip through with a big cup of coffee on a rainy day.
The Mask of the Dancing Princess
What is one of your favorite picture books?  Are they just for little kids, or are they works of art?  Who wants to come to my house and look at all my pretty books?
