Following up on my last post, I'm excited to share that I have written a complete book review on ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ and published it in the form of a blog. 📚✨ In this comprehensive review, I explore the intriguing insights, character briefs and my personal takeaways from the book. It consists of a detailed book summary and a comparison of the book with its movie. Whether you're an avid reader or just looking for your next great read, I hope my review helps you discover something new and thought-provoking.

Today was a great day. I finally got my first 2 coloring books published on amazon. It took a while to figure out the specs and the process but now it should be relatively smooth sailing in creating more and getting them published quickly. Please check them out when you get a chance. I can't wait to create more. I don't know if the link will work properly as I don't have a short link for this. If it doesn't use this as your search and I should be the first book to appear: Forest Adventures coloring book christopher canavan. https://lnkd.in/gSxfaeJ3

Today is International Book Day, a celebration that not only promotes reading, but also the joy of books! Did you know that I've written two children's books? These books came to life in collaboration with Arie van Vliet, who drew the dreamy illustrations. The process of creating these books was so inspiring that it led me to develop the Tender Animal series, which brings these delightful characters to life. These characters are now experiencing adventures beyond the pages, reaching people all over the world. Interested in one of my books or the real Tender Animals? You can find them: https://lnkd.in/eZbBrHGA
