spoken in the shop is hands down, one of my favourite posts!
Every 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.
Yet 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.
I think um....that like...Americans um...need like more um...maps or something ;)
I LOVE these!
OH my goodness. That Little Miss Austen book? Apparently there is a whole series? When I have children, they will have those!
If I were a building, would you like me? OMG TOO CUTE. Haha. xoxo
These are my favorite posts! So fun and funny!
These are the best posts for a good laugh!
Oh my gosh. The Africa one? No. Just no.
But the Amelia Bedelia one is hilarious.
"Africa, Gabe. It's Africa." Oh, my goodness! I'm glad you overheard that one. ;)
