Happy Saturday everyone! 🙂 When moving to the blog’s new home some weeks ago, I mentioned that many things still had to be done. Like in real life, there is often a lot more to it than simply moving the boxes from one house to the other. You have to unpack the boxes, decide where everything goes, decorate, then change you mind about one room, switch everything up, etc. So I guess this is a simple update about my progress. I know most...

As you are aware now, The Infinite Shelf got its own domain name earlier this week, InfiniteCurio.com (More info here!) Today I have successfully redirected the old blog to the new one, which means everyone should be finding their way here. Yippee! However, I would love to encourage you to update your links and bookmarks to my new link : www.infinitecurio.com. Also, some comments may have been lost along the way, I will be trying to transfer...

Hello dear readers! I am so very happy to welcome you to my new home! This is something I had been wanting to do for so, so long. When the shelf turned 3 this past January, I decided the coming year would be the year I would get my own domain name. This has been a lot of work in the past couple of weeks; making sure everything was being transferred correctly from the old place to the new one, choosing a layout I liked and personalizing it,...

You can’t see it if you are reading this in a feed reader, but if you are stopping by the blog itself, I feel a reassurance is in order. Dear readers, your eyes do not deceive you: this blog has a new look! In three years of blogging, the Infinite Shelf has almost always had the same layout : 3 columns, with the banner, background and colors changing from time to time. I have played around with fonts and widgets for the sidebars, but...

Happy Blogoversary!!! To you my fellow readers, without whom this whole experience would feel very solitary, I offer some cupcakes! (the Man of the House brought these home last night, and let me tell you, the two we ate were de-li-cious!) So, this is the post where, every year, I exclaim about how so much time has passed, and how I can’t believe I’m still working on my blog. The sentiment still holds after three years, and I...

It comes every year too fast, it’s true. We’re celebrating New Year, making resolutions and promises and, before we know it, BAM! We’re starting a new year again. 2011 has been eventful to say the least, though you’d probably never guess it by going through this year’s blog posts. I took something like a break from blogging at the end of my winter semester, when tests and papers didn’t allow me time for...

I am so excited for the coming of Book Blogger Appreciation Week 2011! Each year, it is a wonderful event that not only gives us the chance to celebrate our hard work as book bloggers, but also to get to celebrate the precious relationships we formed in the process.  Because, as we all come to know, book blogging is about much more than the books themselves. I thought I would quickly mention it for those who, like me, often succeed in missing...
