Happy Friday!🥳🙌

This weekend, try to create some magic.✨

#GoodMorningBluesky #Booksky #Translators #Weekend #Motivation #PositiveVibes #TGIF

Be happy on purpose.
Go outside. Read a book.
Call a friend. Meditate.
Write in a journal. Eat good food.
Learn something new.
Express gratitude. Dance...
MAGIC is simple to create.

BOOK REVIEW

Within this book, the first of a six part series, you will find Anne Shirley, an orphan, being raised by Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew. Learning quickly from the mistakes she makes, Anne grows from a teenager into a young adult.

A wonderful childhood memory

Yesterday, I decided to pre-order a book that I really wanted, which comes out this month.
Then, I remembered another book that also comes out this month.
Then, I realised they also had a book that I hadn't been able to find anywhere else.
To make a long story short, I may have ordered five books.🙄

What are we? "BOOKWORMS!"
What do we want?! "BOOKS!"
When will we read them?!

I absolutely loved this book, full of autumnal celebrations, a gorgeous dog, community spirit and a little romance. It even encouraged me to do a little autumnal decorating at home.

There’s nothing wrong with that, we all squirrel away extra books for the coming months ahead, even if we don’t get round to reading all the ones we buy 📚🙂
