Hello, friends, and Happy Friday. So, I’ll be taking a little break from blogging in the coming week, because I will be 1. Celebrating my birthday on Sunday (yay!) and 2. On vacation (double yay!)!

Of course, I’m not about to leave you high and dry, so here are a few fun Friday links. Enjoy!

1. I didn’t realize this guy and I had such close birthdays — all this time, we could have been drinking Champagne together! And did you know his first name was Aloysius?
2. This looks phenomenal.
3. I can’t stop looking at these.
4. Are you an educator or librarian, and need some ideas re: how to fund author visits? Look no further.
5. You’re welcome.

Have a great weekend — and week!
