Have I told you guys lately how much I love books on demand? Because while I’ve been printing off my favourite fanfics for quite a while and making them into booklets (I have SO MANY now and I LOVE them), it’s been difficult to print the LONGER ones.
Enter BOOKS ON DEMAND. I have now printed off a few of my longer alltime favourite fanfics into ACTUAL BOOKS – that I can hold, and read even if the power is out or the wifi is down.
There you go. Books on demand. Check it out, love it, do it. It’s cheap, it’s pretty easy (once you’ve learned how to make Word documents into pdfs), and it’s totally worth it.
It is the third time a parade like this has been held in the city.

This year’s event is in memory of Mexican refugees who died as they attempted to travel to the US.
