book_icons*I fixed the no. 8 colored DT icon from two posts ago. It wasn't fully cropped, and was outlayed with a white border.
*I also realized that the icons are slightly big in bmp and jpg formats. I will attempt to cut down on their size and re-post. (This is due to size incompatibility issues with some programs)
Beyond the icon update information, I had a thought. Everyone here reads books, so perhaps you can help me.
I remember reading 2 books when I was a child, but I have forgotten their names and authors. No one I know personally seems to know, so I'll give you a shot at it. Fabulous prizes for anyone that can help me out (maybe).
The first one is about a girl who runs away from her town (when she is told she has to marry this prince, I think) and she takes a brass gnome with her. She runs into the woods, into a cottage and falls into a pond in the middle of the cottage. She comes out in a different cottage, and has to walk up a mountain but there are spikes/crags in the way. She starts crying and the tears dissolve the rocks. She gets to the top of the mountain, where patchwork colors of snow are. Each colored square has a different effect. Yellow=glue, red=burning, etc.
The second books is about these two kids who start reading a book, and some kind of lizard jumps out of it and they follow it on a fantastical voyage through the sewers, or somesuch. (I remember little about this book. Something about a firebrand though...)
If you can help me out, please leave a comment. (Sorry to the person in charge of this site if this is too off topic)
