The perpetual catatonic reprise (Monroe, J., 2022) continues here
Genuinely pleased! I'm feeling smug that I managed to get to the pool and swim this morning.despite weird traffic diversions meaning that it felt a bit rushed and then flustered that I'd forgotten my new prescription swimming goggles (I hadn't forgotten them and they are brilliant, would highly recommend).Thanks for the new thread Poca!
You lot will be pleased (or maybe not, sorry ) to know that I survived my first trip to the gym. It's a lot nicer and bigger than my old one, which only had one of each machine so I was always a bit worried about my "favourites" being used or broken. Looking forward to enjoying going again
Not exactly a fairy tale as such, but Breaking The Surface which is a feminist imagining of the Little Mermaid is really goodFor any fans of fantasy/folk tales/modern takes on fairy tales, I can really highly recommend the Bear and the Nightingale trilogy by Katherine Arden. Really well written take on Russian folklore.
Is this going to be another ācrunchy bar that begins with ābā, is yellow and was made from cornā Sidey B?This is a long-shot but does anyone remember a childrenās book (maybe from the 50s or 60s?) where a little girl had a treasure box?
It was filled with things like a tiny music box, a little kaleidoscope, shiny buttons, maybe a little doll? It was so cute! I remember loving all the details as a kid. I canāt even remember if the treasure box was the main story or just part of it.
Are you perhaps thinking of this book?Is this going to be another ācrunchy bar that begins with ābā, is yellow and was made from cornā Sidey B?
Because if so am totally up for it!
This rings a vague bell but I can't place it. Will keep thinking! Another vote for Moondial and Tom's Midnight Garden here, plus Minnow on the Say by the same author. My favourite book at that age was Carbonel, about a girl who accidentally buys a witch's cat and has lots of adventures with him. Think it was a bit obscure though because no-one else remembers it.This is a long-shot but does anyone remember a childrenās book (maybe from the 50s or 60s?) where a little girl had a treasure box?
