For the woman who is an avid book lover it makes sense that on World Book Day I would be surrounding myself with books.

This time last year I had five foxes living in my front yard. I spent days with them watching them learn and grow, and all along I was photographing them.

Though they are greatly missed this year, I am still spending a lot of time with them, especially over the last couple of months as we were putting the finishing touches on this, "The Book".

I will be able to give you full disclosure very soon but for now, know that I am still with my foxes but this time in proof form.

It has been an incredible learning process of putting this book together. A process that has been so fun and rewarding that I can't believe it's actually happening. I know I haven't been in this space as much as usual, and this is the reason why. I've missed reading everyone's blogs and I've set aside some time for myself this weekend to get caught up.

Though there are many books on my bedstand table, I've been too tired to read and just go out at the end of these long days. What are you reading? I would love to know. For some ideas have a look here. She always has wonderful stacks of books at her house.

    What a lovely project you’ve been working on!
    I’m afraid I haven’t touched a book all day today! I plan to remedy that as soon as dinner is over and kids are in bed. I’m currently reading Margaret Roach “And I Shall Find Some Peace There”.

    That’s a wonderful idea! I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since the foxes were with you. How time passes. I really loved hearing about them and can’t wait to find out exactly what you have up your sleeve. 🙂

    OH MY GOODNESS! Did you see I JUST asked about them on your fb wall today? And now this news! WHEN can I buy this?
    I am ashamed to say that world book day came and went without my ever knowing of it. I can say that I surely read a book that day though, as I cannot sleep without first reading. Right now it’s a whole stack of gardening books. Getting excited, making plans. This year, the peas are going in in March. Mark my words!

    This IS very exciting Valerie. I so loved following your fox diaries last year. I will be so interested in seeing this finished project. I have been away from my blog reading during my tie in Florida and while trying to play catch-up with everything here at home. It is nice to see little surprises such as this when I click on to read!
