This month’s #BostikBloggers theme is snow. My parents, in the Midlands, have already experienced their first [and definitely not their last] snow of the year but here in leafy Hampshire we are still snowless.

![THE FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN [PARRAGON BOOK BUDDIES]](https://keep-up-with-the-jones-family.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/HCAParagon001.jpg)
This is our second post as Parragon Book Buddies and when we discovered the title contained in the parcel that was making its way to us through the mail, I became all nostalgic with the boys.

Bloggers know that first impressions count. For your readers, clients – and your brand.
