I went to a bookstore the other day. I always have trouble deciding which book to chose from all the options 📚! I narrowed it down to these two. Can you guess which one I chose?
In other news, I'm back! Sorry for the long absence. I hope your summers are going really well 🌿🌷☀

Thank you @Eggs for the tag :D https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2628010

✍ Well, since I can't say reading (ha ha!), I'd have to say writing :) Which I guess is pretty similar, but hopefully it still counts!

“‘Welcome to the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs.‘
An enormous hall greets us, and I gasp – it‘s filled with all kinds of strange sights. A flock of fairies twinkles past like floating Christmas lights (…). Witches zip by overhead on brooms (…). What in the world have I gotten myself into?”
