The God that decided the world needs sunsets and sunrises and the moon and starry nights and oceans and beaches and puppies is the same God that made me and said “the world needs one of these too.”

It’s been a while since I’ve spoken here, and I miss seeing everyone and hearing how you’ve been c:
So I thought an outfit might be a fun way to do so? ♡
(Please be kind though!)
I don’t know why I never put this up here as this is one of my favorite outfits *ever*! I love wearing tights so no surprise here, but what I actually like most is the boots and my hair hehe ♡
I’ll try to put up more outfits when I can, but most of my time is working and with my dad so I’m pretty tired lately ; ;
He doesn’t open his eyes much, but likes being read to so I plan to start the ‘The Secret Garden’ this week!
How is everyone else doing? Are you well ?? Enjoying the weather or doing anything new and fun ?? I’ll say a prayer for you guys as always if you’re not! ♡
Giving a big hug and *lots* of happy thoughts for your week! Please take good care of yourself, and stay safe, sweet friends ~ !! XOXO

I thought I’d finally share my review for the book ‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ by Lisa See today c:
(I’m tagging @rainberrydrops as well since I’ve mentioned this to her before — this is the book I was talking about !!)
I truly enjoyed this book, but I must warn you it can be very sad! It is a part of the story though, and it is a good story.
This book is set in nineteenth-century China, and follows the memories of Lily, and her laotong, Snow Flower.
A laotong or “old-same” was a special companionship between two girls with eight matching characters, and supposed to last over a lifetime.
Their deep friendship starts when they are seven, and Snow Flower, introduces herself by sending Lily a fan with a poem painted on it in nu shu! (Which is unique language Chinese women of the time created to communicate in secret).
Over the many years they send messages on fans, and share their experiences of foot-binding, arranged marriages, and family lives together. There is great tragedy and sorrows, but also much happiness and love. I won’t spoil anything, but the turning point of the novel is when their friendship is tested by an awful misunderstanding.
Will Lily and Snow Flower stay old-sames forever? Will their friendship survive?
Lisa See is *great* author! I learned a lot reading this honestly. Her historical accuracy is incredible, and the writing beautifully descriptive. I felt like I was right there with the girls, and side characters such as Lily’s cousin, Beautiful Moon, were also very intriguing, too.
There is some sensitive content, but the story of Lily and Snow Flower is handled well in my opinion. It was very sweet. I think my favorite memory of Lily’s is definitely the Temple of Gupo fair when they first sign the contract. It sets the stage for the whole book in my opinion!
Overall I recommend ‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ to lovers of historical fiction or anyone who enjoys reading about girl life and friendships ~ !!
