Happy Fourth Birthday!

And here we are, January 1, 2025, and celebrating the fourth birthday of the Butterflies & Aliens Library of Literary Eccentricities & Rarities!

So… crazy year has followed crazy year — even less posting in 2024 than in 2023! — but we are still here, and what began as our little digital refuge back in 2021 will continue to be just that, a place we can escape to once in a while to be unabashedly nerdy and bookish, and we hope you can too…

But also, HAPPY THIRD BIRTHDAY TO THE BUTTERFLIES & ALIENS LIBRARY!

When Words Collide… 2023 and beyond

For those of who may not be familiar with it, When Words Collide is an annual festival for readers and writers and bookish folks of all kinds.

And for us here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library, it has long been the never-to-be-missed event of the year…

The best of intentions… SSAC2022 Days 17 through 25!

So I’m going to guess that #NonDenominationalAdventInJanuary will probably turn out to be a one-time thing. We started out this time with the best of intentions but suddenly it’s the end of the month and, well, here we are…
