It’s gorgeous isn’t it? It’s a true treasure given to me from a friend for my birthday. I’ve never been given such a valuable present before and it’s my favourite thing I own after family jewellery. There’s an inscription on the cover dated 1900 from a Katie. (I’ve had it dated and it’s around 1890) It’s a piece of history. I keep it wrapped up and hidden; I’d do anything to keep it safe.

Synopsis from Goodreads:
The creatures sewn onto Snuggle Piggy’s magic blanket, who come alive at night and dance with him in the moonlight, are endangered one stormy night when the blanket is left outdoors after being washed.
Heart warming and beautifully illustrated, this book has the clear message that caring for others is never a bad thing.
Four words: Sookie, Eric, shower scene. For it being the fourth book in the series, it’s by far my favourite with the hottest romantic scenes ever. I couldn’t read this book in public. *turns crimson*
Unicorns were my favourite thing as a child. I started watching this movie from age four and watched it over and over and over again. My mom refused to buy the actual film so whenever it was rented as soon as the film finished I asked for it to be started again. Is it appropriate for a young child? No. Did my parents care? No. I don’t think they’ve ever watched it. But I loved it. It’s still my favourite movie even though it doesn’t give me the ending I want. Thank you Peter S. Beagle! (Although I wish he got all the royalties he deserves)
I read The Time Traveler’s Wife for my MA and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I saw Niffenegger’s newest novel in the bookstore, I couldn’t help but be excited by the back blurb: Ghosts, set in London with a mysterious secret….it sounded amazing! Once I had the chance to get it from the library, I dived right in and was stuck there for a week. I was entranced, I was in love (mostly due to the London setting), but as I continued further there were issues with the story. The ending sealed the deal as being the worst ending ever, and making me utter disappointed with a book that had such promise. With weak characters and an unrealistic premise I tried to like the book and nearly was there, but the end. Sigh, the ending is the biggest bit of drivel and for working in childcare as long as I have; it’s just not believable. I expected a lot from her and I don’t know if Niffenegger can come back from this.
