‘Do you really think I’m just 432 pages of fiction? I’m a compendium. I’m part story, part bloody lecture. I even bore myself sometimes, I’m so full of minutiae.’

FRABJOUS by @writer_gibbs is written from the POV of a book! Funny, witty, & unmissable❤️📖

‘Once upon a time.’ Curse your scaly feet, that’s how the two-leggeds tell their senseless tales. […] earth-bellied start stories with “Once upon a stone, a sea, a spring meadow, a fish’s back.”

How we enjoyed Romy Wenzel’s ‘Blue-tongue’!
