 A few days later, after Cute returned, PJB finished the Harriet books, and the group got supplies for the adventure they were almost ready to leave when Queen Bookreader poked a head over.

PJB was just about jumping out of her skin with eagerness to head out, but she loved her mom. “Hi mom, we’re just about to go visit the pterodactyls.”

“Great, that should be a good diplomatic mission, this may help you.” The Queen handed PJB a battered book, and headed back to her work.

PJB was familiar with her mom and, her love of books and glanced at the book on the way to putting it in her bag when she saw what it was. It had a map of the surrounding lands, and was titled A Guide to Adventures. PJB took a closer look. It was a guide book to adventuring, and it was heavily hand annotated in Queen Bookreader’s handwriting.

I have serious thoughts about serious things, but I could use some silliness, and Kosh recently got us started back up on Princess Juney Bean stories, so here you go:

While I’m waiting at the airport let me write up the latest episode with Princes Juney Bean. There have been several stories since the last one I typed up, and lately we’ve started back up. I may come back later and fill in the missing stories, but for right now I’m just writing out the latest ones.

To bring you up to speed PJB has had many adventures and made several new friends. Friends include (but are not limited to)
Happy, a ghost pony
Solar Flare, a sentient mobile sunflower with fire related powers (from Plants vs Zombies heroes)
Princess Chompy, a tyranasaurousrex princess

As we start our adventure PJB has been getting more and more impatient as Queen Bookreader (her mom) has been patiently, and kindly, helping each of her friends find just the right book and reading space in their luxurious and eclectic library. PJB knows that it’s important to help guests first, but she had a lot of friends over and it was taking forever.

Finally it was her turn.
“Mommy I want my book NOW!” PJB almost stamped, but she managed to stop herself.

The Queen smiled and gathered her into a big hug, “I think you just might be ready for these.” She pulled out a pile of 4 books “They will tell you all about being a princess.”

PJB hesitated, that description fit a dry dusty tome all about what fork to use and where to stand when important people visit, (the purple sparkly cover seemed like a good sign still...) but the Queen saw the concern, and laughed, “Oh no!! These are no books of etiquette. These are about a princess like you, who adventures. These are the tales of Princess Harriet Hamsterbone, and they’re lots of fun. I’m giving you all four, but that’s many hours of reading don’t stay up too late with them.” (Queen Bookreader knew this wouldn’t be listened to, but she had to try.)

“Okay mom,” PJB was already reading, tucked into her spaceship with blanky and stuffy, as she waved to her mom.
