READ



One Snowy Rescue by M Christina Butler and Tina Macnaughton
Children's, Picture book
10E/10E
 (Throughout this adorable read there's a furry hat!)






The Magical Snow Garden by Tracey Corderoy and Jane Chapman
Children's, Picture book
10/10E
(A super cute read about not giving up on your dreams at the first hurdle!)






Joyrider by Jane Ayres
Young Adult
10E/10E
(Absolutely spectacular horse tale!)






Headed for the Win by Rachael Eliker
Young Adult
10E/10E
(Heartwarming horse tale about friendship and generosity...)






Summer on the River by Marcia Willett
Contemporary
1/10E
(Technically this is ungraded as I didn't get past chapter 3. It's not my kind of read, the mix of present and past tense just wasn't for me...)






Return to the Secret Garden by Holly Webb
Children's, 9 years +
10E/10E
(Incredible new sequel to a children's classic read...)












Listened


The Princess Diaries #1 by Meg Cabot
Young Adult
UNFINISHED REREAD - 10/10E
(A dose of Mia always makes me smile and groan at her teen dramas...)






The Breakaway by Michelle Davidson Argyle
Young Adult
FINISHED RELISTEN - 10E/10E
(My favourite kidnapping tale!)










Watched


Winx:  Season 4
Magical Girl Anime, French version
10E/10E
(I usually watch the episode where the girls get their Believix powers a few times before continuing with the rest of the series as it's so cool!)






Pripara
Music Idol Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(Am at last up to date bar 1 episode with this series: it is getting good!)






Aikatsu:  Season 1
Music Idol Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(Back at the beginning of the 1st season, loving Ichigo being so ditzy!)






Winx:  Season 6
Magical Girl Anime, French version
10E/10E
(Wow, wow, & WOW! Just finished watching this incredible season that blew my mind away!)






Once Upon A Time: Season 1
Fantasy Drama
10E/10E
(Restarting from the beginning has me smiling at how different Henry sounds when he talks to Emma. He sure grows up by season 4!)






The Unit:  Season 1
Military Drama
10E/10E
(Happy sigh, oh how I'd missed watch the bad guys get caught/killed and the Unit's wives struggle with keeping so many secrets while striving for a vaguely normal life on base...)






Winx:  Season 7
Magical Girl Anime, English version
10E/10E
(You read right – I've started the 7th season! It's online, and so far in English, although later episodes are only in Italian for now but I'll muddle through – it's as good as season 6 so far!)






Negima
Slice of Life School and Fantasy Anime, Japanese version
10/10E
(Blushing moments aside, this anime always makes me smile!)






Yumeiro Patissiere
Slice of Life Anime, Japanese version
10E/10E
(Ichigo may not have the widest range of baking skills, but she has artistic flair which is second to none and a personality which draws people to her...)










Craft, games and more
This week I gamed! Had fun time leveling up and getting past a boss in replaying part of...




...10E/10E Eternal Sonata for the Xbox 360: I even got Polka a different umbrella to fight with!





Craft wise I'm busy on secret projects, but managed to complete two cute pairs of gloves!  To check out all my crafting adventures, be sure to stop Nayu's Crochet Dreams and my Etsy store!
