Yesterday we had a guest post. If you follow this blog, you’ll know that I don’t have many guest posts here. In fact, I think we’ve had just two in the last year and a half, and they were super good blogger pals of mine. I’m picky when it comes to Offbeat.

The original House of Books resides in the Venetian countryside. Ahhh, books, quaint houses, and Italy… So, this is what love feels like.
Livio has built two other homes made of books, (that I’ve heard of); one in Japan and another in Germany. Livio …read more
