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 “On Account of the Gum” by Adam Rex
This #BookFace is caught in a sticky situation…
And this day started out so well! If you’re looking for the best advice on how to remove gum from your hair, maybe skip reading “On Account of the Gum” by Adan Rex. If you’re looking for a good laugh, this is your book! It’s available as an eBook from Nebraska OverDrive Libraries. Nebraska OverDrive Libraries has a wide variety of children’s books, from picture books to to youth adult titles, and more.
Conversational rhyme, cascading action, and dramatic page turns create a story of early-morning, get-ready-for-school chaos. Gum-wrapper endpaper illustrations collaged under a bubble gum-pink wash set the tone for escalating silliness . . . [On Account of the Gum is a] gloriously giggly tale glued together by a glob of very gooey gum. –Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Anything, after all, must be better than spending Valentine’s Day alone. —Book Jacket

#BookFaceFriday “Winter, White and Wicked” by Shannon Dittemore
Oh, the #BookFaceFriday outside is frightful!
“Mad Max: Fury Road meets Frozen” seems to be the simplest way to sum up this YA fantasy read. Some say this is also how they would describe 2020. Here at NLC we prefer to embark on a new year by setting fresh reading goals or a new reading challenge! If you’re trying to read a certain number of books this year, the library is the easiest way to make that happen, don’t forget to check out ebooks and audiobooks from Nebraska OverDrive Libraries. Find titles like “Winter, White and Wicked” by Shannon Dittemore, available as an ebook, today.
“This magical story, teeming with grim lore, grotesque monsters, and gripping mysticism, swept me up like a winter gale and wouldn’t let me go. It was a privilege to meet Sylvi—a heroine as fierce and boundless as an arctic tundra—and to witness the thawing of her icy heart as she learns the value of friendship, found-family, and faith. Winter, White and Wicked transported me on a gritty, action-packed, and atmospheric journey across a wickedly glacial landscape, and I can’t wait to return again!” —A. G. Howard

#BookFaceFriday “The Postmistress” by Sarah Blake
Check the mail for this week’s #BookFaceFriday!
Here at the Library Commission, we think there’s nothing better than reading a great book and then getting to talk all about it! It’s the center of our annual student writing competition Nebraska Letters About Literature! We partner with the Nebraska Center for the Book to bring this reading and writing contest to students in grades 4-12 all across Nebraska. The idea is simple, we ask students to write a personal letter to an author, explaining how that author’s work changed the student’s way of thinking about the world or themselves. That’s it! Read, be inspired, and write back! The competition is open Nov.1 – Dec. 31, all contest information and the submission form can be found at centerforthebook.nebraska.gov/programs/LAL.html. Who knows, “The Postmistress” by Sarah Blake (Berkley Books, 2011) might just be one of those books that can change the way you think about the world!
“Great books give you a feeling that you miss all day until you finally get to crawl back inside those pages again. The Postmistress is one of those rare books. When I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it. Sarah Blake seamlessly moves from inside one character to another, in a novel that reminds us of a time when the news traveled from post to paper to radio and that is how we learned about the world. The Postmistress made me homesick for a time before I was even born. What’s remarkable, however, is how relevant the story is to our present-day times. A beautifully written, thought-provoking novel that I’m telling everyone I know to read.”—Kathryn Stockett, author of The Help
