Can someone explain Scribd to me? Why are books that were available the other day (which I didn't keep saved, because my phone is always running out of space) not available now?

2 - bookstore, library does not fit into crappy work life

Again, it was never a favourite of mine as a child, but I still wanted to revisit the series for nostalgic purposes. The second book, in my opinion, was less magical and exciting than the first. Not entirely sure why but I felt it was rushed and didn‘t really stand out at all from the first one. I will continue the series for the sake of it though!

Not sure it stands up to scrutiny over time - but I loved The Faraway Tree!

- we were a household of Elvis lovers!
- unprompted cuddles from my husband just when I need them the most.

My 5 & 8 year old enjoyed reading a couple chapters a night of this at bedtime. This is my first time to read anything by Enid Blyton & we are looking to read more by her!

ramblingsofareader love love love The Magic Faraway Tree, one of my earliest memories is taking turns reading this with my mum! definitely the book that made me become a reader 4y
Curiouser_and_curiouser I would have to say the same @ramblingsofareader. This book definitely made me a reader!! I think read this over a dozen times as a child and I just recently read my old copy with my 7 year old. Truly a treasure. I have quite a lovely Enid Blyton collection. We are making our way through Mr Twiddle atm, we think he's hilarious. 4y

2. Neighbours, Home and Away, Punky Brewster, Fraggle Rock. Loved riding my bike.
3. I don't remember being much aware of news around that age.

Millesent Oops. I hit send instead of return. 2. I‘m gonna have to give that some thought. 3. I love all cozy mysteries, but have an affinity for Earlene Fowler and her Benni Harper series. 4. Eggs Benedict minus the ham, I‘m now vegetarian! But it has to have lots and lots and lots of hollandaise sauce that is very lemony, just like my dear step daughter Sara makes. 5y

Wow, how clever are you @Sarz ? Can‘t wait to have a go at my first cross stitch & I ❤️ how you swap in themes. You have nailed me. I‘m definitely not disappointed to be paired with you again so soon & will be happy to be paired again in the future swap buddy. Everything including the wrapping paper is gorgeous. The kids in my life will ❤️ it when I read my old fav to them at bedtime. Your parcel is on it‘s way, hopefully it will arrive today.

Sarz Yay! Glad you liked it. 6y
LibrarianRyan That is very very cool. And the cross stitched tree. Amazing. I love to start cross stitch I just have a hard time finishing it. Great job @sarz 6y
LibrarianRyan Question. Is the grey thing a scarf or extra Aida 6y
LapReader It is a gorgeous soft scarf that I plan to wear ASAP @LibrarianRyan 6y
LibrarianRyan @LapReader ohhhhhh. Lovely. I had to ash because it looked like it could be very loose cross stitch fabric. 6y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I recently found out that there is a fourth book! A patron asked if we had the magic faraway tree in, and 'Up the faraway tree' popped up - I thought it must have been written by someone else or a repackaging for younger readers (faraway tree has been broken down into smaller books of about three chapters with lots of illustrations for early readers) but it's real - I can't wait for it to come in for me (only one copy and my reserve is number 2) (edited) 7y
