12 posts | 25 read | 18 to read
Collected together for the first time are Patricia C. Wrede's hilarious adventure stories about Cimorene, the princess who refuses to be proper. Every one of Cimorene's adventures is included in its paperback edition--"Dealing with Dragons, Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, " and "Talking to Dragons"--in one handsome package that's perfect for gift giving.

This series remains relevant even 20 years after I first cracked open the spine on a whim because I thought the princess was wearing a sweet dress. Cimorene became a heroine to me, someone to follow and model myself after as I grew older. I don't think I realized until recently just how much I internalized her indeoendence and pragmatic nature. These books have become a cornerstone of my literary identity and I am so grateful for Wrede's work.

You know, I‘ve noticed that none of the witches in my books wear a #WitchsHat. For example, Morwen, (one of my absolute favorite witches - whom I read about in the tagged series in fifth grade) simply wears “her ginger hair...piled in waves on top of her head.” #OctoberPutASpellOnYou @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

I am joining this club immediately. Being a “wicked” stepmother and all.

BarbaraTheBibliophage 👊🏻 Stepmonsters Unite! 7y
JSW @BarbaraTheBibliophage yes!!! We need each other. It‘s a unique struggle. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage How many step kids do you have? How old? My four sons are 35+ now and we all get along really well. But 23 years ago it was pretty rough. 7y

JSW @BarbaraTheBibliophage I have two stepdaughters. I‘m wife #2 or as I say, the trophy wife 😂😂. We met when the girls were 10 and 8 (dad and mom divorced when they were 8 and 5), and married when they were 12 and 10. They lived out of state and we were not rich so we could only see them once a year (because of course we paid to fly them out for visits). Every year was different. I feel like, as stepmom of teen girls, I deserve a medal. 7y
JSW They are now grown and have their own families. They are 32 and 30 so lots of water under the bridge. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes. The teen years are so hard for parents of all types. But I spent many years saying “glad mine are boys!” Girls are just harder over all. And step parenting is much harder than people realize—unless they‘re step parents! 7y

A princess that wants to be captured by a dragon to escape empty minded princes, semi grumpy talking dragons, evil wizards and way more wackiness that I don't want to spoil

magicalshelves @jfalkens I love everything about this series. But I don't find many people who have heard of it. 🙁I don't know how many times I read these as a kid! It might be time for me to reread them as well. ❤ 7y
jfalkens @kayofwesteros I only found it a couple years ago but it's one of my favorite series! It seems rare to find people who've read it for sure, which is sad, so if your reading this and haven't read this series go read it! 7y

BookBabe @melbeautyandbooks They do make great gifts! Terrific idea. Thank you! ❤️ 7y
scripturient These are lovely. It says you're only shipping within the US though. Any chance you'll be shipping internationally in the future? 7y
Gissy @scripturient @BookBabe I don't know but I hope so. BookBabe can give you more information, she is the artist and owner. 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @BookBabe I was thinking for gifts, but hmmmm 🤔 on second thought I want it all for myself!!!! 😂 I don't know if I'll be able to part with any of it!!! 7y
BookBabe I do ship internationally... just make a list of what you want and email the address at the bottom of the store's page: bookworm1959@icloud.com , and then I'll calculate shipping and you can pay it through PayPal. It's the payment processor's rule that I can only ship within the US or I lose seller protection. 🙄 So we just have to go around them! Just email me what you want and we'll work it out. 😊 @scripturient (edited) 7y
BookBabe @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks lol! That's exactly why I offer goodies in sets for reduced prices, so you can part with a few! 😄👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 I know the feeling! 7y

And here it is! The new #bookishpainting I hinted at! ?

"The Enchanted Forest"?✨inspired by books I've read recently!? The original is oil on panel, and now it's available as the first bookmark to be featured in the #BookishArtBoutique! I'll be ordering up the bookmarks and tassels in a few days. You can place your orders starting today! They're the perfect gifts for readers! ??

Lizpixie How much is shipping to Australia? 7y
stacybmartin That is gorgeous!! 😍 7y
BookBabe @Lizpixie I checked—it depends what you want! If it's bookmarks, it'll be about $3.00. If it's a box of greeting cards plus coasters plus prints, it could be up to $35. Depends on the weight, mostly. So if you wanted a box of cards, I could ship it without the "box" to save you a bit of weight! Email me at jenbissu (at) me (dot) com if you'd like to order some goodies! ? 7y
BookBabe @stacybmartin thank you! 😊❤️ 7y
Peddler410 @BookBabe Tomorrow (today) is payday. Once I reconcile bills to be payed I will spend the left over on your art. Thank you for sharing your talents! I love all the options. 7y
BookBabe @Peddler410 Yay! 😁🙌🏻 Paydays are the best! (The green kind, not the candy bar kind, lol). 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome! Thank you for appreciating my art! 😘 7y
kspenmoll Whimsical & lively color! 7y
Shortstack You're so bold with oil! I love painting but am not as talented and just use acrylic. How long have you been painting? 7y
BookBabe @kspenmoll thank you! 😊💚✨ 7y
BookBabe @Shortstack thank you so much! What a thoughtful compliment. ☺️ I've been making art since I could hold a pencil (age 2?) but I've been painting since around 2000, when I had to take a painting class for college. I didn't think I'd like it, but I ended up loving it so much I hardly do anything else! 🎨❤️ I'll admit the transition from acrylic to oil was scary. But I'm thankful every day that I switched! 7y

I first read this in high school and immediately passed it on to my family and friends. This copy has been in many a backpack, it's pages are stained, it's cover is worn, and the dust jacket is in three different pieces. I recently bought mylar to cover and protect my signed books and first editions. So far this is the only book I've covered. ❤❤❤ #riotgrams #welllovedbooks

JazzFeathers What a fantastic 1980s fantasy look 😍 7y

I recently discovered that one of my best friends has never read #TheEnchantedForestChronicles, so obviously he will be receiving the box set for Christmas. #PrincessX is for my niece, and #Guernsey is for my Mom! I love all of these books so much, I need to spread the love!

Seeing the new print of the beloved Enchanted Forest chronicles in a bookstore, I was so tempted I had to give my wallet to my sister's care for a moment. 😂 I always have a thing for continuous picture on book spines.

[DELETED] 3558467437 That is cool! 8y
