Icy this morning so I'm working from home. Gives me more time to do News Bites.


This is on the upcoming illustrated Barbie books. I'm not sure that I would spend $66 for both of these books combined. At least not now with three conventions coming for me this year. Still, interesting to consider.


This bite comes to us from Strange Doll's FB page once again.
