spoken in the shop is hands down, one of my favourite posts!
ReplyDeleteEvery time you post these there is something about either Amazon or B&N. That interests me a great deal; it is like people are fighting to not shop at the Bookshelf.
ReplyDeleteYet they're there, so something's working.
Oh my gosh! I love these posts so much! Africa, Alabama...geography is hard! You need to collect these all for a book.
ReplyDeleteI think um....that like...Americans um...need like more um...maps or something ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these!
OH my goodness. That Little Miss Austen book? Apparently there is a whole series? When I have children, they will have those!
ReplyDeleteIf I were a building, would you like me? OMG TOO CUTE. Haha. xoxo
