(An incredible showdown to a sweet, gripping Arthurian series for girls...)
10/10 E




Stick! by Andy Pritchett

Usborne Very First Words At Home
Children's, Non-fiction
(An adorable guide of everyday words...)
10/10




The Sleepwalkers by Viviane Schwarz
Children's, Graphic novel

9/10




Angel Wings: New Friends by Michelle Misra
Children's, 5 years +

Dear Thing by Julie Cohen
Fiction
(The sensitive subject of surrogate mothers is brilliantly explored in this heartwarming story...)
10/10 E




Ellie May is Totally Happy to Share Her Space in the Spotlight by Marianne Levy

Watched


AKB0048
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10/10 E
(Once again nearly at the end of this catchy show. Have watched it at least 4 times in a row now - will be watching other anime for a bit ^o^) 




Shugo Chara
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10/10 E
(I get so hyper watching this uplifting anime that I can't watch it before bed...)




Chihayafuru
Anime, Japanese version
9/10
(I'm learning all about a Japanese card came, karuta...) 




Lilpri
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10/10
(I'm smiling hard because in the next episode Dai [the squirrel/dormouse] eats too much so the girls try to get him healthy again...)




Winx Club: Season 3
REWATCH! - Anime, French version
10/10 E
(I'm at the sad part where Techna 'dies'...) 




Cardcaptor Sakura
Anime, French version
10/10
(Sakura's getting pretty confident wielding her clow cards now...)




Elemental Gelade
REWATCH! - Anime, English version
10/10 E
(*happy sigh* This is exactly what I want to watch right now - Ren is AMAZING!)




Heidi
Anime, French version
10/10 E
(My work colleagues are getting episode updates - I was so upset when Heidi was lied to by her aunt just so she could get Heidi to Frankfurt to see Clara [or 'Claire' as it is in French]!) 




Charlotte aux Fraises
REWATCH! - Anime, French version
10/10 E
(It was funny watching the girls create reasons why the couldn't dance with Pruntille [blueberry one] in the dance competition - she had set her ideals too high and learnt to stick with the ability of her dancers, not what she wanted them to be...) 




Angel's Friends
Anime, English version
9/10
(The plot is heating up with a major competition on the go - there are some Harry Potter similarities [ditto in Winx])




Aria the Animation
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10/10 E
(Once again I'm starting to watch this as my final anime before bed because it is restful...) 







Craft & other hobbies
Unfortunately I've been too tired this week to do very much - plus I had an evil headache spanning 2 days, so no progress in anything yet.
