The Blue Day Book
29 journalers for this copy...
The Blue Day Book is a wonderful collection of amusing, poignant animal photos and inspirational text designed to lift the spirits of anyone who's got the blues. No one who has lips will be able to read it without smiling; it's guaranteed. The fact is, we all have our bad days-they are an intrinsic part of being human. As prescribed by The Blue Day Book in its delightful photo and text messages, the solution is to see each incident in perspective, recognize that our feelings of failure and loss are not unique, acknowledge the absurdities of our existence, and glory in the potential we all have. In less than 100 sentences, The Blue Day Book conveys this message with great compassion and humor. Its vehicle is charming black-and-white photographs of animals that are strangely human and completely free of judgment or pretension. The humble marriage of easy text and beautiful images takes the reader through the entire evolution of a blue day, examines what it feels like, what causes it, and how to get over it.
This is a "ray-it-forward" book. Please only give to other bookcrossers.

Journal Entry 20 by engratisbok from Tampere, Pirkanmaa / Birkaland Finland on Friday, June 12, 2009
Thanks Ametisti! =)
This book made me smile instantly I found it. :)
One really can't feel sad or even very blue for long when reading this. ^^
(For me there was also attached a funny post card from Ametisti with a funny hugging creature, thanks for that too! I put it on my book shelf near my sofa, so I see it often.)
(My sister died a couple of months ago, so this little book and card are very important for me.)
Some time in the future this will travel to a friend as a Ray-It-Forward book. RIF for short as seen above.

I had forgotten this book. I read it when I got it but somehow the book has been TBR-book in my shelf for many years. I read book again yesterday and will take it to our meet-up tomorrow.
I got this book from a fellow bookcrosser in Tampere BC meet-up last week. I love frogs! :) I read the book and looked at the pictures already on my way home, so this little blue book is again looking for a new home.

Thanks mate! Nice to see a book that has been circling for so many years.
A nice little book with sweet/funny photos :) I agree with the previous journalers, that this covid-19 thing makes people need cheering up. The bear on page 36 has a freakishly long tongue! And as Tarya said, the bunny on page 43 is squeeee!
Giving this to my fellow bookcrosser who gets a few other books at the same time... :)
Thank you for this surprise, Delenna!
