A Love of Fairytales

It might seem foolish or childish to some "grown ups" that other adults still enjoy reading or watching fairytale stories. But to me, it's a great way to keep your mind young and creative. Two quotes I love by C.S. Lewis: It seems so many of us are intrigued by the unknown and unexpected. I…

Children’s books ABOUT books & libraries!

I've wanted to write this post ever since I got some books at the library for my three year old. I happened upon a few library themed books, and thought, I bet other bookworms would like recommendations for these kinds of books!
