Readathon Update + Final Update

The hubster has given up and even called me crazy... he's snoring already! Lol.

So, for the next challenge from At Home With Books, we were supposed to take a picture that reminded us of a character of a book we were reading.

Here's what I came up with:


It is the bottle of dreams from The BFG. Yep, aren't I creative. Those little amber things are dreams.. no joke. :-D

So, finished The BFG by Roald Dahl and am going to start in on Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat.
