¡Feliz día de San Jordi! It's all about roses 🌹and books 📚 The perfect tradition for bookworms!

BiblioLitten Oh yes! I think I remember @ephemeralwaltz mention this on Litsy! 🐉📚🌹 (edited) 5y
ephemeralwaltz @BiblioLitten You did indeed!! Because of the lockdown situation in Catalonia everything has been cancelled... It's so strange to not be celebrating out on the streets but everyone's trying to stay positive and spread the spirit on the internet! ❤️📖🌹 5y

#AcrossApril Day 23: I didn‘t know about #StGeorgesDay but apparently quite a number of versions for this dragon story which I have only learned about just now. What I do know is that it‘s the Start of Ramadan on the 23rd as well. 💕🧚🏼‍♀️

I should probably make an introduction post! My name is Brin. I'm a full time tea drinker, reader and procrastinator - I am, in fact, procrastinating going to work right now. I live in England and can be found on all kinds of social media:

Happy #worldbookday, Littens!
Here in Catalonia we celebrate the legend of Saint George on April 23rd. The tradition is to give roses and books to our loved ones as gifts. It's one of my favorite days of the year if not my ultimate favorite! Do you celebrate Saint George's day in other countries?? I'm very curious.
This cute tote says "On Saint George's day, books, roses, and kisses!" ??❤

TrishB We do in England, but it's not a big thing as it has been hijacked by racists over the years 😔 I love your version 💓 8y
ephemeralwaltz @TrishB that's such a shame 😢😢 8y
TrishB It is, very sad 😢 8y
