Beehive Book Haul and News #42


Happy Saturday book-loving friends! 
Hope everyone is doing well :) 

Quick update: Our pup is doing very, very well!
Thanks to all who have reached out to us and helped! xo
Miley is recovering more and more everyday and is starting to get impatient with the healing process, she thinks she's able and stronger than she really is, and can be quite the drama queen when we don't let her have her way, lol! It's been quite amusing lately :)

  5. I love book fairs. :) I remember always wanting to get all the books when I was younger -- it was so hard to pick just a few! Even now, I'm lucky to volunteer at a local school, so I get to look at all the fun titles and even buy a few when the book fair comes around.

    Glad your puppy is doing better!
