  • Special book day celebrations

    If you could (and you can and should) celebrate the publication of one of your favourite books, which one would it be and how would you celebrate? For example my favourite book series is Ruby Redfort so to celebrate I would invite anyone I know who's read it, ask them to dress up as the characters if they want, (for example t shirts that say things like "bozo" or "excuse me while I yawn") then we'd have donuts and banana milk in the true spirit of the book 😌💯 I'm very interested to see the replies to this 😂

    I’ll be thinking about this for a while. It evoked some of the most deep and painful feelings, and intense nostalgia for a time in childhood that’s just a vague and hazy memory. I was reflecting on a lot of joy and pain and the pain of joy… I can’t explain this book but it’s phenomenal, and I think it’s intense beauty lies in every readers unique and individual experience reading it.

    An enchanting graphic novel 😔❤️ Sometimes I find fairy tale retellings a bit tired, but this is a perfect example of how it can be done in a meaningful way. The way the classic fairy tales that they're reading in the book are intertwined with Vietnamese culture and stories is very beautiful, and it makes it so much more personal to the characters; I especially like the way the author interprets the little mermaid. Also The ending was perfect 10/10 no notes. 🌟

    "when the older girls at school liked a boy they called it 'having a crackation'; Edie decided Ernie was her first crackation." You cannot tell me this is some origin for the word crush 😂 what on earth, crackation?? 😭😭😭
