Will somebody please buy this book for Claire and then convince her to make me everything in it?






Pretty please?

Die 13 1/2 Leben des Käpt'n Blaubär

Lookie here! I'm posting!

So, I realize this book may not necessarily be readable for everybody on the list... but it is also available
AUF ENGLISCH! I think I can safely assume that it is also very good (and more understandable... for myself as well, probably) and could probably be likened to something of a Roahl Dahl (Moers is also a cartoonist and writer of adult humor books) readability. There's a lot of vivid imagination food and even pictures to help along! I reeeeeally like it and want everyone to read it... much like Harry Potter. All I want to do is read this book and the cool world Blaubär is in. I also relate in the fact that I am also a bär.

Plus... he's so cute! He's found as a baby in a walnut shell from dwarf pirates! Come on!

Continued... Of Bees and Mist

I feel that this book deserves two posts now that I have finished. First off, I'm not exactly sure why I loved it so much and even when a friend asked me what it was about yesterday I just started at them dumbly. I'm no longer at a loss for words though.. this story is about magic, mother-in-laws, love, deceit, etc. Everything a good novel should be made off. I could possibly even describe it as Harry Potter for adults, but that might be taking it a step too far. Yes, it probably would be. Just read it... and tell me what YOU think.

5 Stars from Isabelle.

Of Bees and Mist

I've started reading a book that we published (surprise, surprise!) and so far I am really loving it. This book is called "Of Bees and Mist" and it is written by Erick Setiawan. So far it seems like it could be a good read for middle/high school girl, in reference to previous blogersations. Do you like my new word?

I must admit that I'm not too far in yet, but so far I, the hater of book to movie, have a great plan for Tim Burton to direct and Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter to play the parents. I am already imagining this as I read...

On a side note, if you go to Amazon to look for the book (or click this link) you will see under the cover design some thumbnails that I CREATED! Yippee.

I need to stop using ( ) so much.

Whatcha reading???

So has anybody read anything lately? I'm stilling listening to Outlander but I'm too embarrassed to blog about it...

Memoirs of a Geisha

Thanks for suggesting this book as a Mary Rollins' read. It's been years since I read it which was probably when it came out at the end of the 90s and I picked it up at the library last week (as an audiobook). I thought I'd give it a listen myself for a while before I passed it along to her as a suggestion . It's SOOOO good, in fact, even better than I remembered it.

If there's anybody left in the world over the age of 13 who hasn't read this, go right now and get it. Even better, get the audiobook! Excellent narrator, vivid story, beautiful language.

P.S. Has anyone seen the movie?

Eyebrows
