Don't you hate it when you're in a bout of passion with your significant other and out of nowhere you two merge into a crocodile? Such a turn off.

Stumbled into this book by surprise via a kind stranger, and I was like, why not? I do love me some fanciful, whimsical stuff every now and then.
Turns out I'm super into this? Less so by smart reasons and more so because there's a few pages dedicated only to little guys that apparently live inside light? And rainbows???
Let me share a few more favourites of mine: - A live snake bracelet to prevent stove top burns. - A rooster that consists solely of its head and two comically small legs. - An umbrella that spouts two little girl legs (Maybe the western cousin of the kasa-obake?) - A fruity skeleton carrying soup. - A surprise pride parade. - A guest appearance by Weird Al. - A bunch of kids worshipping a fridge.
And many more. Definitely give it a try if you're in the mood for Something Different....more

After all, e books are far more prominent in English than otherwise so it was just easier for me. However, this is the kind of book I had to dig to find in its original version. It rekindled my love for not only Spanish, but for the Argentinean literature I so long stopped checking.
It's a great book, don't get me wrong, but I ultimately knew most of the creatures in it. What I DID enjoy most were the beasts imagined by other popular writers, including Poe, C. S. Lewis, and many others. It was a fun read, I definitely recommend it if you want to unplug from daily life for a bit. Just wish it had pretty drawings to go with it....more
“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember.”
This book was 50% informative-50% an art piece, and that's the reason why it was“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance. Pray you, love, remember.”
This book was 50% informative-50% an art piece, and that's the reason why it was such a quick read. Not that I'm complaining (Much, I would have wanted 500 pages, tbh.) since this was like a soft reset for the everyday reader. I feel lighter, happier, and wanting a flower tattoo more than ever.
Crafted with so much love, this was a celebration of an art form that must have brought colour into bleak times. When you aren't allowed to say certain things, do it with flowers (Ignore how slogan-ish this sounds.)
I mean, we're already dealing with a plague, we might as well go back to flower language too and feel the true Victorian vibes....more
