Hey everbody!

This week I finally received my 'Blythe Collection Guide Book'! 

It has many beautiful pictures of every Blythe doll manufactured, starting 2001. There were even some Blythe dolls I didn't recognize. 

The only downside is the Japanese... I don't understand why they use English titles but simply write the rest in Japanese... Does anyone know of a simple way to translate this? Like with some smartphone-app?

Also, the book would have been better if there had been something in it about the original 'Kenner' Blythes. Then again, had they written that in Japanese as well, it wouldn't have made any difference to me...

I'm hopelessly behind on my recurring blog-posts ever since I started to become more active again. I'm so tired after my quick-walks my brain stops functioning, LOL. I wanna read because I'm behind with that as well, but again, the brain-mush doesn't co-operate... Ah well, health is more important, and if I want to change my appearance again it's gonna take some effort! Alas... ;)

Did you get anything in your mailbox this week? Share with a link and I'll stop by!

Happy reading! :) 

Waiting on Wednesday (1): Blythe Collection Guide Book

'Waiting on Wednesday' is a weekly meme,

 hosted by Jill over at 'Breaking the Spine'.

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! :)
