Picture Book Marathon: Day Twenty-Five

I didn't have a lot of time today between a massively successful trip to the book fair this morning and an evening out of board games and curry, and, inevitably, that meant that my plans went spectacularly awry.

I had been thinking of some kind of Arthurian legend, but then stumbled on the fact that almost every element of it is massively unsuitable for children. Then I got caught up in Inuit mythology, but I got all a bit confused, so finally moved on to local hero, Boudicca (with various alternate spellings) who also turned out to allude me. So. Finally Boudicca Jones appeared where I thought the Icini warrior would.

Reporter/investigator, Boudicca has sass, somewhere between Veronica Mars and Lois Lane (in her Teri Hatcher phase). I'm watching the first season of V Mars again at the moment. Boy, it's great.

We're winding up, folks. Thanks for hanging around. Tomorrow, all being well, is the last day. Given that I still have one day in lieu, I suppose I could spend all tomorrow prepping for it, and slam bang you on Monday. We'll see. Either way, by midnight, Monday, I'll be done.

So. Have a happy Saturday.
