The smell of a book is one of the best smells in the world to a bibliophile. Used bookstore smells? I’d say, bottle it up and sell it but … Continue reading How to find your best book bargain
There’s something sweet and amusing about a chubby, older Corgie named Chonk who has a white heart on his butt.And while Chonk isn’t supposed to steal the show, Chonk kinda does. But then, so does Lainey’s fear of bears. If it doesn't make any sense, that's fine. It's a fun read and read along we … Continue reading Campouts and corgies
