Black-and-white pen-and-ink illustration by E. H. Shepard of Winnie-the-Pooh sitting on a log and gazing upward beside a large tree. Behind him is a dark doorway at the tree’s base, with a sign reading “MR SANDERS” above it, a small bell, a hanging bell pull, and a partial note reading “RNIG ALSO.” A small pile of sticks lies on the ground to the right. Dense cross-hatching forms the tree.

Happy Book Day!!! This was the first "big" book I read. I was very impressed with myself. And (maybe because of that) I loved the story.

Front and back cover of THE ADVENTURES OF BENJAMIN PINK by Garth Williams. An adventuring rabbit in torn clothing is on the front. On the back, the rabbit is wearing a suit and has his arm around a lady rabbit in a dress. He's pointing out to sea, probably describing his adventures.

To avoid flack from my CEs, I use "rear seat" and "rear yard," which sound stilted, but at least I don't hate them. And the buildings in my books are made of yellow brick. (But not the roads.)

Ginger Bolton @gingerbolton.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

I HATE it as a noun. Just as much as I would hate "frontseat." I also hate "backyard." We don't have frontyards and sideyards. And I hate "redbrick" (unless you're talking about certain British universities.)

I chose "donut" for my Deputy Donut Mysteries so that if I used the word in a title, the title would be shorter, leaving more room for the book covers' artwork. Also, fewer letters to type (!) in the manuscripts. Call me pragmatic. And lazy . . .
