The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #28 – There Are Cats…
There are Cats ……..in this book. And they are of the very best seriously sensible, naughty, purr-ey, hidey sort. I bought this book on a whim – at £2.45 it was hardly going to break the bank, and seemed like a good stocking filler. When it arrived, I flipped through it, like you do. And despite being all alone in an empty house, I actually laughed out loud. Not smiling with a huffey sort of noise, not an amused...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #20 – Look, a new ‘My Fairy’ Pop Up Book! Woot!

So I succumbed,...
TidyBooks Bookcase review
When I first looked at the Tidy Books bookcase on their website I was a tad hesitant, thinking it would be far too big and bulky and wondered if it really be any better than a normal bookcase. When it arrived I was quite surprised (hey, that rhymes!) at how un-bulky it was. Assembly was easy and the instructions were clear. I was impressed with how many fixings have been used because you are going to want this bookcase to be secure...
