Bumbles and Fairy-Tales Updates and Book Haul #59


Hello bookish friends!!!
I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful sunny weekend!
Today is a whopping 45 degrees, it feels like spring!!!
Going to get some cleaning done, get to church and then snuggle in with books!
(We're not very outdoorsy, lol!)

This past week, the Scholastic book fair was happening at my boys' school - 
had so much fun volunteering and helping the littles find their books!
And of course, we had to get a few books ourselves!

Hope you had a wonderful week in books too :)

  1. Isn't it funny that 45 degrees does feel like summer?? Today I had windows open and it was about 55-60. I can't wait for Spring. You got a huge haul this week! Good luck getting it all read.
