I’m in, 100%.

I said something kinda similar a month or so ago in one of my monthly wrap-up posts (because I never got around to reviewing the book all by itself). Kinda disappointing story, but I’m keeping it on the shelf anyway because it’s pretty.

I saw that! Should I? Is Michael Bedard someone I should be friends with?

I nearly bought all the new editions of the Gerald Morris books when they brought them out in new, matching paperbacks. But I resisted. My apartment is pretty small. Oh gosh they just look so pretty every time I look at them. :p

I’ve never read any of her other work. What kind of stories are they/

OMG Shirley Jackson. SUCH a good use of your birthday money. Shirley Jackson is the coolest.

If I hadn’t already sent it to my mother, I’d send you my copy! But she was pretty excited about the format, and I just tucked it in with her birthday present when I sent it. I mean it’s in a box and you can read it from either direction. And it’s short, so even if you weren’t thrilled about reading it, you wouldn’t have invested much time in it.

I don’t hate e-formats but they don’t thrill me like BOOKS IN BOXES do.
