The Little Prince | 
I‘ve just finished Joann Sfar‘s new take on The Little Prince. I liked the art very much, and it was certainly very brave of him to redraw the prince, as the original illustrations are so well-loved, but I‘m probably too old and jaded to fully enjoy the story.
Look what I found - my mum‘s 1954 vinyl, Read by Gérard Philippe!
pickIt‘s been a long time since I last wept - not cried, but wept - but this book fixed that real quick. It took me half an hour to read the last 10 pages, because of the tears. Literally just sat and sobbed after finishing it. This book needs to be read, because it reminds us what‘s really important in life. So I‘d just like to say thank you, Mr. Saint-Exupery. Your book truly brightened my life. (And broke my heart!)
Just bought this the other day. I‘ve heard it‘ll make you cry. Can anybody verify? Really looking forward to reading it! 🙂

pickAbsolutely loved this short, heartwarming read! Life lessons, melancholic moments!
pickThis is my most favourite book of all time! I reread it all of the time. It is beautiful and magical with such a great message woven into it. It is the most meaningful book I‘ve ever read and I recommend it to all grown ups! I have several copies that I‘ve written and highlighted in and my most special copy.
pickA pilot meets a little prince.
Cute little book.
pickThe Little Prince has a strange history (like most classic children‘s books). The author, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, was a French aviator, childless, and (at the time of writing) living under war-time exile. How he managed to write and illustrate such a perennially popular moral allegory, a “spiritual biographyâ€, under those circumstances, I‘ll never know… Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/the-little-prince-antoine-de-saint-exupery/
pickI love this book and rereading the new Folio edition with commentary was a treat. Unfortunately my 1-yr-old decided to color on the cover. 🤦â€â™€ï¸
The irony is not lost on me that the book my daughter chose to drawn on is one about child-like innocence and seeing the value in the invisible things you see with your heart, not the physical. Appropriate, no?
pickWaiting for the kiddos to wake up this morning and slipped into The Little Prince‘s story. I enjoyed revisiting this story and enjoyed the illustrations but I felt the story was a little lost in the graphic novel format.
Thanks @Andrew65 for the tag ðŸ‘ðŸ»âœ¨

Two books that come to mind quickly would be
....The Little Prince , Antoine de Saint-Exupery
... A Fine Balance , Rohinton Mistry
â¤ï¸ðŸ’” Two heartbreakers
I tag all who‘d like to join in !
pickI started to translate this in my French class in high school but I didn‘t get very far. Many years after that attempt I have finally read this book (in English). Learning of Saint-Exupery‘s history made the reading even more poignant. This is a lovely gem of a book and I am so glad that I finally got to it. I think I wouldn‘t have appreciated it as much having read it as a teenager as I have now with years of adulthood, love and loss behind me.

The narrator‘s English accent was amazing. What a sad ending though ☹ï¸.. a somber feel to the narration and such loneliness oozed from the story..
THAT WHICH IS IMPORTANT IS INVISIBLE TO THE EYES, ONE CAN ONLY SEE CLEARLY AND TRUELY FROM THE HEART 💓

Ripley's Game is the only Ripley book apart from The Talented Mr Ripley that I re-read, but sooner or later I plan to re-read the entire series in the correct order.
The Little Prince 💕 I lost count how many times I've read it 😊
A kÅ‘szÃvű ember fiai (The Baron's Sons) was required reading at primary school, I re-read it in my twenties, and understood and appreciated it so much more.

Went to my first Japanese bookstore. Found some classics & Michelle Obama. It‘s also nice to know Harlequin romance translates in any language. 😂
And just in case, there‘s always the “Women‘s Useful Book†section. 🤣
Now I‘m watching Queer Eye in Japan, which might be even better than the American version. ðŸ³ï¸â€ðŸŒˆðŸ‡¯ðŸ‡µ
My little free library finds today. I went into work and in the one building, there are shelves set up for the little free library. I dropped off several books but saw these treasures. I had “Half the Sky†but loaned it to a college professor who loved it so much that I told him to keep it.
Finally done with my first reading challenge. Check out my reading progress and stats 👇

pick‘It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.‘
I had not heard about this book until recently. My copy arrived today and I thought of just flipping through but I ended up reading it. It definitely made me relive my childhood for I share the pilot‘s and the Little Prince‘s view about grown ups. This is definitely one of those heart warming books that I shall read over and over.
pickThis is my second classic read after jane eyre I think. I never thought I would love this book so much , but god how amazing it is, that this small book has so many deeper meanings. I am definitely re-reading this anytime soon and I loved the illustrations tooðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
A truly mellow book: the importance of savoring the breadth, length, height and depth of life, rather than focusing on narrow goals; looking at the world with childlike wonder rather than through the “rational†lens of a battle-weary grownup.

“This is my secret. It‘s very simple. You only see clearly with your heart. The most important things are invisible to the eyesâ€.
There are so many quotes in this book it‘s hard to pick which one to choose. I‘ve chosen this quote because I feel it represents happiness and sadness at the same time, which if you have ever read this amazing book I‘m sure you will understand. #Beautiful #happiness #abooktoremember
I'm feeling a little blue today so my fox and I are watching this on Netflux and eating sour cream raspberry pie.

This little guy was the base of how I learned about seeing the beautiful in one simple thing. I‘m not sure why I have 2 English copies—likely to make sure I always had one in case something happened to the other.
pickCette livre est tres bien jai finir dans 2 jour est je veux lire encore!
pickI‘d never read this before. It is lovely. It might be a stretch, but I chose it for the read harder challenge prompt a science-fiction novella.

pickAnother finished during #StayHome24in48 . I really did not capture the magic of this until the end, and then I understood how this is a classic. Hope and sacrifice play roles in this story of a pilot and a special prince who appears one day in the desert.
My selection for #LessThan120Pages for #MiddleGrade #BBRC
Update for #StayHom24in48 #24in48 . Finished Dead in Dublin. Lunch time, with Red, White & Royal Blue, then start tagged book.
so-soRead this for a book bucket-list scratch-off poster. Not sure what the hype is; maybe you have to have read this as a child?
