Read

Fleeced by Ellie Irving
Children's, 9 years +
10/10E
(Wonderfully crazy funny read!)

The Butterfly Shell by Maureen White
Children's 11 years +
10E/10E
(A heartwarming read that will make you cry...)

Where do Fairies Go When it Snows? by Liza Gardner Walsh and Hazell Mitchell
Children's, Picture book
10E/10E
(A fairy read teaming with imagination and cuteness!)

The Bunce Saga by Alan Davidson
 Children's, 9 years +
9/10E
(Annabel is back with tall stories and creative thinking when it comes to the origins of her name...)

Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas by Grace Zong
Children's, Picture book
10/10E
(A brilliant Chinese take on a classic fairytale...)

Monster by C J Skuse
Young Adult
10E/10E
(Supremely awesome, I love Tabby! Heaps of tension-not to be read after dark or on your own!)

The Tea Chest by Josephine Moon
Fiction, Shop Fiction, Contemporary Fiction
10E/10E
(All about a tea shop, starting a new branch of a business, and friendship...)






Masque by W R Gingell
Fantasy, Fairytale
10E/10E
(Hilarious and thrilling retelling of Beauty and the Beast!)









Reread



Rainbow Beauty Peppermint Kiss by Kelly McKain
Children's, 9 years +
10E/10E
(Finished this ace 1st in a trilogy of books centered around sisters and their mother making a new start with a beauty salon...)









Watched


Full Moon wo Sagashite
Magical girl & music anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(I didn't think this could get any crazier but it does!)





Pripara
Music idol anime, Japanese version
REWATCH! - 10E/10E
(I love the frog themed outfits which Sophie and Lala wear when they perform together!)





AKB0048
Music idol anime, Japanese version
REWATCH! - 10E/10E
(I'm ignoring the subs this time, so I can fully focus on the girl's emotions. Seen it so often I know what is being said even in the parts where more technical language is being used.)





The Great British Bake-off
Cookery show, English version
9/10E
(This week the focus was on biscuits- I want to try the arlette!)





Aikatsu
Music idol anime, Japanese version
REWATCH! - 10E/10E
(Seen the episode where Ichigo eats a lot and puts on weight. She can't use the special Aikatsu stage not because she is bigger but because she let her friends, teachers and fans down by not taking care of herself...)








Craft, games and more
Barely no gaming this week, and apart from this cheerful flower coaster...




...I don't have anything to show you as there's not a noticeable amount of progress in the projects I've worked on. I've been sorting my knitting needles out so I know what I have for my baby booties - it's taken over 3 hours to check sizes, and figure out the best layout!
