My Cub got me used to birthday books that when the seller notified me they cancelled (yet again) my order for a rare & outta print book, it felt so wrong to NOT have a book on my special day.

So I went & bought myself another rare but easier to get book. A B&B one, of course!

I must've been born with my umbilical cord connected to a book.

Oh, and my site's finally up! No content yet, so you'll have to wait a bit.

Meredith L. Books are the best gift, (although chocolate is another favorite of mine). And, buying either one for yourself is acceptable! Happy birthday, and I hope that you had a marvelous celebration.

Hahaha, I knew you were going to ask, El-chan. 🫶🏻

It's the latest Beauty and the Beast picture book adaptation, I originally ordered for the French edition, La Belle et la Bête, but the sellers said they weren't delivering to my location so I switched to the Spanish version as Amazon.es had copies to deliver worldwide.

Thank you, my friend!

Thank you, my lovely Thibu! 🥰 I did have a good day out, still feeling so full of food, and had some anecdotes worth a short story again.

Yeah! Lacombe is one of my favourite illustrators, I've been wishing he'd do B&B for ages, and he finally did. The scriptwriter is giving me trepidations from what the French reviewers said she did with the story, though. :'(

I'm still looking for the stupid book they cancelled my order for. I'm going to find it one way or the other, I swear...


message 50: by Elentarri (new)

Elentarri Good luck finding that "stupid book"! 😘
