Hi Freya.
Yes, it is. 😊 Did you know the smell of books, particularly older ones, is called bibliosmia, derived from the Greek for “book and smell,“ while the scent of a new book or the aroma itself is sometimes called biblichor, borrowed from the word, petrichor (the smell of rain).

My pleasure. Sagan was a poet-philosopher-scientist. Truly one of a kind, and sadly, we shall never see his like again.
I like your view on books. Books on the shelf are old good friends waiting for us to visit again. 💙

My pleasure. Thanks for stopping by. 💙

Thank you, Cat Lady. 😊

Blanchett is an excellent choice. Also loved her in Oscar & Lucinda, Elizabeth, and Blue Jasmine.

😂
P.S. Thanks for reposting my pinned STARLIGHT post, Paul. Appreciate it.

🤣

Thanks for the laugh. Love this!

💯💙

My pleasure. Thank you for the connection here. 😊

Just some suggestions to take with the proverbial grain of salt. Your concept is great, it just needs some minor tweaks.

Love the title, but perhaps you might consider a different font style? And perhaps the stamp could be lowered slightly—closer to "Reject." You may also consider a slightly toned down yellow or using a darker color rather than light blue (possibly even black or a dark grey?) Just food for thought.

✨Happy Thanksgiving, Jodi! ✨

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes. Love this quote by Émile Zola, as I was raised to not “judge a book (person) by its cover,” meaning to avoid judging a person by their appearance. It’s character and content that matter. 💙

A Tale of Two Cities (my fav)
Oliver Twist
Nicholas Nickleby
Great Expectations
A Christmas Carol

Great post, Cora. There are so many clever green alternatives that would sustain us and make things easier and affordable, but corporate greed and oligarchs are determined to plunder the planet whilst poisoning and enslaving us.

If you see this, post a getaway vehicle.
(Classic goodness here 😊).

Always a pleasure. Love your writing. 😊
