( I'm biased because I know Dorothy on Twitter, but this book is ACE!!)

The Seventh Mark by W. J. May
Young Adult
(Rouge is Little Red Riding Hood as you've never seen her before!)
10/10 E

8/10

Reread

The Fairytale Hairdresser and Cinderella by Lauren Beard and Abie Longstaff

(I adore this story - it's perfect for all who love fairytales with fun and bright pictures and sassy characters...)
10/10 E




Heart's Sentinel by P J Schnyder
Science Fiction Romance
(I love Mackenzie's strength as she overcomes the brutal attack that made her into a cat shapeshifter, the level of protection the pride offers her and the incredible skills cat shapeshifters have.)
10/10






Anime I've watched


AKB0048
REWATCH! - Anime, Japanese version
10/10 E
(I've seen it enough times I can watch without subs - I don't understand all of it, but it's even more enjoyable when I'm not reading the subs - I can focus on the emotions of the characters.) 



Winx: Season 3
REWATCH! - Anime, French version
10/10 E
(This is a slow rewatch as I need more lively shows when I'm not feeling great [been a hectic week].) 



Rozen Maiden
REWATCH! - Anime, English version
10/10
(I adore the outfits for this show, and the storyline, so I'm watching the dubbed version in English when I'm tired...)



Cardcaptor Sakura:  Season 2
Anime, French version
10/10
(Tiffany is still creating lots of cute new outfits for Sakura!)



Heidi
Anime, French version
10/10 E
(Heidi recently saw the birth of a new goat!) 







Craft & other hobbies 


Sadly this week included a trip to the dentist, and a headache, so I haven't had time for my hobbies which require a bit of energy.


No, wait, I'm mistaken - I did do some crochet! FINALLY finishing my cute spring slash summer crochet square blanket - I may have shown a photo of the single squares many moons ago. I've sewn all the ends and all the squares together. Now I'm doing a simple border,which you can see in the lower left corner - it's the row of white. To make it a better size for me I'm toying with a row of orange after the white, then either white or purple and finishing on white. So many decisions!  Here's what my square currently looks like. It needs a few more rows then I'll finish it and do another. Pretty!
