I hear there is a “Big Game” happening next Sunday! Is this what they mean by that?
Some stories earn their classic status the honest way, by breaking your heart a little and making you grateful for it. This week’s selection is Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White, with pictures by Garth Williams, published by Harper & Row.

It's a favorite of mine! Mach Tey is the dust jacket artist.
I'm most excited about Rob Eden's (Robert and Eve Burkhardt) books beginning to enter public domain. They wrote approximately a zillion books, and they're a real treat.
I reviewed three of these books in 2011, 2014, and 2020. Links below! thegoodbadbook.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/t...

Merry Christmas! Last night was the annual rewatch of Muppet Christmas Carol, so if anyone needs me or Hubs, we're here intermittently singing, "It Feels Like Christmas."
Nice find! My search for this title continues.

New socks! I am pleased. 🐐🧦
Looking for a last-minute holiday gift idea that will really make an impression? Check out this delightful Maxwell!
Does it have February 21, 1931, March 7, 1931, or March 21, 1931? HathiTrust has these as search only, and I'm 99% sure of something in these issues.
Also, yes, that is a great collection! 🤩
Nice! What's the date range on the bound collection?

"Poor Viv! She sure is one grand sample of what I call a flat tire."
By any chance, is this in Ann Arbor?

It was amazing that there was such a large square footage of space in the Magic Kingdom with zero gift shops. It was too good to last.
Thanks for the memories, Liberty Belle and Tom Sawyer Island!
