#BookFaceFriday “Joyful Mending” by Noriko Misumi
It’s a #BookFaceFriday for #MendingMonday!
Discover the joy of working with your hands to reinvigorate or transform your worn-out clothing in this week’s #Bookface title, Joyful Mending by Noriko Misumi (Tuttle Publishing, 2020). Adding visible stitching or patches to your threads not only adds artistry to your wardrobe but also extends the life of your clothes and keeps them out of the landfill. #MendingMonday, #MendAndMakeDo, and #VisibleMending are some of the hashtags used on social media to draw attention to refurbished pieces the mender is particularly proud of and are part of an ongoing sustainable fashion trend.
“…a resource as practical as it is whimsical… Misumi visually guides readers through visible and invisible mending techniques that bring new life to well-loved materials…Anyone wishing to preserve and repair their favorite clothes will find plenty of ideas and useful techniques here.”

#BookFaceFriday “Oona Out of Order” by Margarita Montimore
Great Scott! It’s #BookFaceFriday
No DeLorean necessary for this week’s time-traveling #BookFace. Check out “Oona Out of Order” by Margarita Montimore (Flatiron Books, 2020) in Nebraska OverDrive Libraries. It’s perfect for fans of “The Time Travelers Wife” but with less ugly crying. Hop through time and explore the weight of one girl’s life choices in this inventive novel. It’s available as an eBook and Audiobook, add it to your holds list today!
“A compelling page-turner…Montimore delivers a rock-and-roll love letter to 1980s–90s New York City as Oona discovers her true self through a lifetime of music and pop culture. A perfect match for those who enjoy well-developed characters with a twist.”
