Starting a new book-nook.

This one is one of those "3D jigsaw" types that looks mostly like it will just assemble with little extra work and a little glue.

Unlike the last one which was a whole pile of random stuff (sand, cloth, sponge, beads, wire, sequins...) and every piece needed gluing and almost every piece had a paper design to be cut out and stuck on...

It was fun to do, but wow did I take a lot of (elapsed) time waiting for glue to dry...

My wife is dyslexic so isn’t a big reader. I’ll read to her if it’s a book she really wants. But unlike me it’s never fiction. It’s autobiographies, history, technical manuals, poetry, all sorts. Just never a really good story.

Anyway, I digress. She’s particularly skilled at making things. And she’s just discovered #booknooks. Her excitement levels are through the roof and she’s now looking at tools for making tiny things. I have a feeling the excessive number of bookcases we have in our home is about to increase… exponentially. But with no more room for actual #books 🥰
