Shoutout to the guy at the Waterstones counter one time a year or so ago who looked me up and down then said “I’m gonna assume you have a loyalty card”. Like yeah I was buying 7 books but still

Winnie the Pooh is inspiring Manchester’s kids to read
It's great news from Wood Street Mission and the Books Forever Appeal! Over 8,000 children's books have been donated so far and amongst them are the stories of Winnipeg the Bear -aka the real life Winnie The Pooh- and the Canadian veterinarian Harry D. Colebourn.
I'm positive that books like these will inspire Manchester's young people to read and with more WSM Book Roadshows planned in our city's schools, Wood Street Mission are still in need of brand new or good condition pre-loved books for children and young people.
In 2022, WSM distributed over 20,500 books to disadvantaged young people across Manchester and thanks to support from the public, it's brilliant that each child gets to take home 5 books to keep. Through such acts of kindness, you are helping to overcome barriers that children in low-income families face.
But did you know that donating to Wood Street Mission’s 'Books Forever Appeal’ couldn’t be easier? You can drop off a book in person or have it delivered direct to the Wood Street Mission, 26 Wood Street, Manchester, M3 3EF, The UK.
Wood Street Mission is located next to the John Rylands Library on Deansgate. You can also visit woodstreetmission.org.uk for more information or to make a secure online donation.

Sneak Peek - My Book!
On The Eleventh Day of Fun I present... shameless self promotion! In all seriousness, I finally got access to the final copy of the book and I couldn't wait to show you all a bit more of what the book is going to look like!
(Click on the image to view it larger)
So, what you're looking at is the flat layout of the covers, spine, and insert fold sections.
On the far left is the first fold in section with my biography and butt (a familiar look to anyone who frequents this page).
On the middle left is the back cover with the summary, barcode, and price. I really like how they took the flowers from the background and made them into butterflies ^^
In the middle is the spine. Pretty self explanatory and spiffy.
On the middle right is the front cover that you've all seen before featuring one of my favorite houmongi (that I did a feature on a few days ago!).
On the far right is the second fold in section that acts as a blurb about who the book's for, what the book intends to do, and why you should buy it. There's a nice picture of a chuya obi thrown in there to keep you interested.
So, what do you all think? Are you liking the design like I am? Let me know what you think!
Just a reminder that it releases on June 28th, 2024 and you can pre-order it at the following websites:
Amazon America
Amazon Canada
Schiffer
Indigo Canada
Waterstones UK
