ReplyDeleteI guess I should give it a break now and again.
Take care.

ReplyDeleteOMG that is freaking epic! How totally amazing and awesome but also really touching at the same time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
The detail!! All those images are lovely o.o
ReplyDeleteThat must've been an amazing gift to open. It's beautiful!
Whoa, that is amazing. Gorgeously crafted and so thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteLove it. So beautiful. How cool to see your story "come to life" in a way. I like the back cover a lot and could totally picture that scene in my head (as you know, it's one of my faves) ;)
ReplyDeleteLet's see...what has been squeeeee worthy in my life...starting my new project. However, I've stopped squeeeeing because I'm not stuck. Ugh.
Oh wow, those are just *gorgeous*! =D
ReplyDeleteThat is really gorgeous and so, so cool! It also intrigues me about your book!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful ^_^ I hope the actual cover is just as lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe latest thing to make me squee was a graduation gift that I had gotten in the mail. It was The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud in the first edition which I had wanted ever since my cousin never gave me back the book I lent her. The book had been reprinted in a new cover that I hated and a friend of mine had found the edition I wanted in a used book store and bought it for me ^_^.
A Tribute to Theatre
ReplyDeleteThe Murugan Theatre. It is one of the theatres in Thiruthangal, a small town near the famous industrial town of Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu. The small town had three theatres in those days (1980s). Chinnaknai Theatre was in the northern corner of the town and Balaji Talkies was at the other end, in the southern corner
