Ella Enchanted was / still is my favorite book of all time. I reread it at least once every year 🥰 love to see a fellow Ella!

I used to live in the Portland area! Still in Maine, but further north up the coast in a more rural area. I make regular trips to Portland though and miss it often.

I love this issue of Bookmarked and wanted to snuggle Michelle’s adorable cats!
