pickToday we finished reading this gem of a book. It was beautiful, whimsical & full of magic. I felt like a kid again, letting my imagination run & laughing with all the silliness & crazy adventures the characters experienced. I definitely recommend this book. Beware: this book could be considered as banned nowadays since certain terminology has changed its meaning through the decades. Also, some cultural aspects may clash.
Overall, a must read!
My partner is reading me book 2 of the series The Faraway Tree. His favorite series from his childhood. Almost finished and loving it. Love the illustrations.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is my partner‘s favorite children‘s book. He read it to me & I loved it. He is now reading book 2 to me. I love the author descriptions & the illustrations are amazing. Her imagination & all the conflicts that arise. Such a fun read

⚠️ Beware this book is now a banned book given the fact many words used are now considered rude or insulting or have a different connotation. At the time it was written none of that mattered.
Can someone explain Scribd to me? Why are books that were available the other day (which I didn't keep saved, because my phone is always running out of space) not available now?
1 - John Lennon‘s death, I remember waking up getting ready for school and my mum saying Johns dead. I was wracking my brains to think of a family member!
2 - bookstore, library does not fit into crappy work life
3- tagged book ♥️

so-soAgain, it was never a favourite of mine as a child, but I still wanted to revisit the series for nostalgic purposes. The second book, in my opinion, was less magical and exciting than the first. Not entirely sure why but I felt it was rushed and didn‘t really stand out at all from the first one. I will continue the series for the sake of it though!
Not sure it stands up to scrutiny over time - but I loved The Faraway Tree!
- we were a household of Elvis lovers!
- unprompted cuddles from my husband just when I need them the most.
How‘s your week been - @Oryx and @squirrelbrain

pickWow, how clever are you @Sarz ? Can‘t wait to have a go at my first cross stitch & I ❤️ how you swap in themes. You have nailed me. I‘m definitely not disappointed to be paired with you again so soon & will be happy to be paired again in the future swap buddy. Everything including the wrapping paper is gorgeous. The kids in my life will ❤️ it when I read my old fav to them at bedtime. Your parcel is on it‘s way, hopefully it will arrive today.
The second book I can remember reading. #childhoodfavourites

Loved these books!

The Magic Faraway Tree was one of my favourite childhood reads! Though just Enid Blyton in general to be honest 💕🎄
