the trope tag!
Hi everyone!
I hope we're all doing well! It's been a long while since I've done a tag, and the lovely Naemi @ A Book Owl's Corner tagged me in this a few months ago so here I am (finally) getting around to doing it. The tag was created by Ash @ Ink Words & Ash, and I had a lot of fun answering the prompts!
book-themed animal crossing islands ft. cossette!
Hi everyone!
In honour of our Animal Crossing readathon coming to an end, my lovely friend Cossette and I thought it would be fun to do a little Animal Crossing challenge!
This challenge involved us making book-themed builds in the game Animal Crossing. We each picked two random items (making it four in total) and then, using the objects, had to recreate a scene or atmosphere from a book on our Animal Crossing islands. So, with a total of four objects (the fortune teller set, the wooden bookshelf, the serving cart, and the afternoon tea set), we each made four different book-inspired builds.
Below you'll see the four scenes I made that included the items. Make sure to check out Cossette's post to see what she made!

I’ve been anticipating this book ever since it was announced, being a big fan of Adiba’s debut novel The Henna Wars, and it certainly lived up to my expectations!
