Oh #FFS! (#forfontssake) - Day 3 of @RealLifeReading 's #anditsaugust challenge. I love the font on this book. Maybe I'll read it some day... #perpetualTBR

Foragingfantasy I'm a sucker for anything that mentions Night Circus in the reviews... I may have to read this one. 7y
heikemarie @Foragingfantasy I've had it for a few months but haven't picked it up yet! The blurb looks fun. 7y

I did once think about joining a fan club, but I couldn't afford both and books are more entertaining. #joiningafanclub #junetunz

Kalalalatja 😂 perfect interpretation! 7y
drokka @CrowCAH In fairness this was a gift from a mate in Sweden who had her mum pick it up in Barcelona while travelling. The others I have aren't nearly as nice. 7y
drokka @Cinfhen Setting the membership fees aside, really nice fans are supper expensive. It would be like buying ALL the books from the folio society's super duper rare catalogue (I don't know if they have that, so this is probably hypothetical) and it being sold as the rarest of gems on eBay. Madness what some people will do for a unique fan. Books are way easier. 😁 7y
drokka @rubyslippersreads @Kalalalatja I was struggling with this prompt until I got hot running around, busy with chores. 😂😂 7y
Gissy I love fans. I don't own fancy expensive unique ones but they are pretty! Different shapes, colors and sizes. Here in Puerto Rico you will need one in your purse always! Believe me! 😅 7y
