Clock Rewinders (04/14/13)

Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the brain child of Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Tara @ 25 Hour Books.  I'm inviting myself to their party (as I sometimes do) because I have so damn much fun reading Amanda's posts that I couldn't help myself.

Things that have been going on...

• In case you missed it when we announced it on Twitter, Amanda, my partner in crime in all things, has been in my neck of the woods. We've done such fun things as... get sunburned in San Francisco, watch birds mince across the sand in Santa Cruz, and drink a really BIG bottle of wine between us. Basically, it's been awesome! Seeeeee? This is us!
