That, my God, is the super adorable enamel mug I received on @tbb_box Anniversary edition. They improved on the design, quality and finish. Needless to say, the illustrations of the Grishaverse characters are super squishy adorable!

#qotd Your favorite Grimm Fairytale
.
👸
I grew up listening to fairytale and though the feminist in me do not approve of a majority of these stories, I'm, for now, considering them as just that. Stories.
.
👸
From Cinderella to Snow White, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, I've loved them all.
.
👸
I also realize there are about 100s of others which aren't quite popular and I'd really love it if you can suggest those.
.
👸
I'm currently reading The Sisters Grimm sent by @tbb_box which also has a stunning alternate book cover or dust jacket.

Told ya, I'm finding all the treasures from our library at home. This copy of Nancy Drew is from when I was 11 yrs old. Ouch! Time flies! But I can still grab it for a quick read. How about you? Which sleuth was your childhood hero?

#qotd Do you like to read romance?
.
.
These are just a handful of Mills & Boon from Mom's vast collection. Vintage, they are at least 60 years old. As a teen, I used to sneak a book or two out of her library, because I wasn't allowed to read M&B 😋
.
Life Update!
.
Muffy and I are doing amazing at my home in Kerala. Our mandatory home quarantine has ended and my pandemic test came back negative. What a sigh of relief. My family has come back to stay with us and they are smitten by him. Muffy has taken a liking to Dad and things are A-okay.
.
But we miss my boo that whenever he hears his voice, he starts whining. Poor Muffs!
.
We are hoping to get back to bookstagram now. So please welcome us back.
.
Love,
Shalini and Mufasa.

~ Home Quarantine Be Like... ~ . 🌴 Hey you guys

~ Home Quarantine Be Like... ~
.
🌴
Hey you guys! Thank you so much for all the DMs asking about my well-being! You guys are the sweetest!😙
.
🌴
I'm doing okay. I was cranky and jetlagged(if you can call that, though not different timezones, different climate and world altogether!)yesterday but I had a good night's sleep and things are better. I'll let you know about how I traveled, the procedures and all things related, pretty soon.
.
🌴
As you know, my Pawdad is posted to a forward location and things aren't looking bright and sunshiny for us. I cannot disclose where he is posted though, since you know...social media, fauj etc etc.
.
🌴
So, I'm now at Mamma's home in Kottayam, Kerala and sadly, I could meet only Mamma's dad because the whole family is shifted to our relatives' who are right next door. I was actually conversing with Ma's dad when she clicked this pic. More details on everything later.
.
🌴
I just wanted to quickly say that I'm so grateful to be loved by you. Your prayers and well wishes has made my day and it keeps me going.
.
🌴
Much puchchiess, tailwags and woofs,
Your bibliophile doggo,
Muffy🐶
.
🌴
P.S. It's raining cats and dogs here. And I'm loving it. Ma hasn't allowed me to truly "enjoy" the rains, you know my "happy feet" dance moves. That's just because she can't chase and run around me as she is in home quarantine.
.
🌴
So, tata.
Until next time!
