It's Official: I am a Blogger. Capital B.

Hi, this will only be brief because I am shooooooook.

I tweeted my blog post to Twitter because why not. Then I discovered that Laura Ellen Anderson DOES have Twitter, so I tagged her. Right. RIGHT? Ok, so when I woke up the next day, the following two things happened in Real Life:

Amelia Fang: My New BFFL

Two in one week, aren't you lucky?

   Today, I am here to talk about my new Best Friend For Life: Amelia Fang. Detailed in Laura Ellen Anderson's Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball, Amelia's life seems hella exciting and to be perfectly honest, I am jealous of this small, fictional vampire.
   Right from the off, we are informed that these vampires do not eat/drink blood, so as adult reading that to a child, you can let out a sigh of relief, and save the 'some mythical creatures eat humans, it's kind of like cannibalism, because they look like humans, but they're dead or whatever' conversation for another time.

I got this image from Google, please don't sue me. Also just look at Squashy. Aw.

Celebrity Children's Book Authors: for Parents or for Kids?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
   First blog post of 2018 is actually in January! A miracle!
   Blogging more is one of my resolutions, and this specific post has been on my to-do list since the day after my last blog post, so I think I'm doing well.

Winnie the Witch: A Feminist Icon?

     I recently treated myself to the collection of Winnie the Witch books, (by the fabulous Valerie Thomas, illustrated by Korky Paul, published by Oxford University Press) because I deserve nice things and there was a sale on. The 10-book collection included At the Seaside, The Flying Carpet, and The Amazing Pumpkin.

'You Can Never Go Back: On Loving Children's Books as an Adult' review

Hello,

Shock-horror, I didn't keep this regular blog-thing up. No one is surprised so let us just swiftly move past it.

So I read an article today, in amongst applying for jobs in publishing/sobbing. Please read it before continuing because I'm gonna talk about it. Go. Come back in five and I shall muse about it. 

A Series of Unfortunate Reviews

Hello Internet,

     I am as surprised as you are that I am writing this post, after resurrecting this dead blog not even twenty-four hours ago, but I have decided to start with a general review of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, real name Daniel Handler. Published by Egmont in the U.K, but HarperCollin's Children's Books in America.

Proof I own the books. 

This picture took me ten minutes to set up, because of the pesky The Bad Beginning wanting to lay down. 

The Unlikely Return

Hello Internet,

I have graduated and moved back home since my last post - told you I wouldn't keep this up. I've also re-read my past posts and had to edit them because I thought 'i"m' was something that was acceptable in this world, and it most definitely is not. Don't look back to try and find that mistake, I've fixed it.
