...& off bits of paper, sometimes my head [the open book placed on my head as hands occupied] but recently started making bookmarks from bits of card based on the book cover. You don't have to be artistic, just get some nice pens & maybe do less wonky lettering than I have!

Still the daft bedtime book - maybe only one page, sometimes a chapter, the novelisation of the second Godzilla - King of the Monsters - this by Greg Keyes. More or less exactly as the film, but of course some added internal 'thought' from the characters, however you describe that? #booksky 💙📚
