Booklist

Even though this – my second – blog is closed and I am currently here on my sixth, I’m keeping my booklist right here and will keep it updated here rather than move it over there.

Do not hesitate to add your favourite(s) in a comment, I’m always looking.

One of my early personal favourites, Winnie-the-Pooh, artistically improved by the preschool me.

Here is the list of somebody’s favourites; could be me, a family member, a friend or a dear internet person.

Most of the titles I obtained when I asked you to gift me the title and author of your favourite book(s) as a birthday present. You delivered.

Do not hesitate to send me more (let’s say up to 10) in a comment at any time, I’ll update.
