Hey there!

When I saw the book 'Scarlet' by A.C. Gaughen pop up somewhere on Goodreads and read about its interesting premise, I pre-ordered mine almost instantly! Admittedly, the gorgeous cover was the proverbial last drop! (It's shown towards the end of the video. I enjoyed listening to the beautiful prose also.)

'Scarlet' was supposed to be published later, but I received an email this week already, confirming its early release and consequently, its journey towards me...

Are you excitedly waiting for a book as well? Let me know, leave me a link and I'll hop on over to your blog!
Happy reading! :)

'Scarlet's Blurb: 

Posing as one of Robin Hood’s thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in. It’s only her fierce loyalty to Robin—whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her—that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for.

Waiting on Wednesday (1): Blythe Collection Guide Book

Hey and YAY!

Of course you all must have been aware I HEART Blythe dolls... You know, considering the name of this blog and all...;) 

(In case you missed it, here's a little info on me. Also, here's the link to my Flickr photostream, starring my 9 Blythes, amongst other things.) 

Anyway, it must come as no surprise to you then, that I ordered the 'Blythe Collection Guide Book'! 

In my opinion it is waaaay overdue! It's supposed to feature every Neo, Midi and Mini Blythe doll, and accessories manufactured from 2001 until 2011. I hope there will be some info on the original Kenner's as well. 

Also, I hope not everything will be in Japanese... In that case: does anyone know of a smartphone App that takes pictures of Japanese text and translates them into English???

I'm really excited for this book! I hope it makes its way from Japan to me very quickly!

Have a nice day! :)
