Happy #StrangerThings Day 🥞 I can‘t believe I forgot tagged book and the novelizations of the Upside Down world have been languishing on my TBR... okay maybe it shouldn‘t be that much of a surprise. Anyways enough waffling about that and time to revisit Hawkins, IN.

Perfect to read after you've bingewatched Season 1 of Stranger Things and need to get your nerd on. Adams is a superfan too, and the book is complete with trivia and movie and book lists to check out.

A great companion to Stranger Things series. (you NEED to watch it in Netflix) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! One of my favorites! I'm also excited for season 3!

I've been in a book slump for almost a month. I'm so thankful for the author.ü

Some of my favorite parts :
THE DNA OF STRANGER THINGS,
FOOTNOTES!
FACTS ABOUT MKULTRA,
and THINGS TO MAKE AND DO! 😆

Very informative! Never a dull moment! I really enjoyed reading it. ♡

Reading challenge 14/50

ClarissaLeStrange @WanderingBookaneer Nope. But I have copy. :) I'll read it. Added to my never ending TBR list. 😁 How about you? 6y
WanderingBookaneer I read it and loved it. It‘s one of those books where I resented having to go to work. 6y
ClarissaLeStrange @WanderingBookaneer Wow. Seems like you really enjoyed that. I will surely check on it. :) 6y

This was such a fun read. I would highly recommend this to fans of Stranger Things. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MsLeah8417 I‘ve never heard of this! I loved Stranger Things! 7y
Lisas.Library My 12 year old daughter is obsessed with Stranger Things. Do you think this is appropriate for a 12 year old? (I‘m fine if there is some cussing but not ok with any sexual content.) 7y
JessClark78 @Lisas.Library I think it should be fine for a 12 year old. Every chapter goes over an episode and talks about the music soundtrack and some of the show‘s influences. It also has little Homework sections for each episode that are pretty neat. 7y

This was fun! It takes you chapter by chapter, episode by episode through the first season of Stranger Things. Reading it felt like reading a well researched term paper (footnotes and all), but with the tone of your favorite hilarious blogger. Full of info about the show from set design, to music, to plot lines, to the actors themselves. It‘s a fun walk through 1980‘s pop culture. So much nostalgia and I laughed out loud more than once!

SandyW I haven't watched it yet... Would you recommend this as a companion reader? Or does it work better once you understand the series? 7y
GypsyKat @SandyW I would only recommend this to people who‘ve watched the show and loved it. 7y
GypsyKat @SandyW It‘s such a good show! 7y

BibliophileMomma Omg how did I not know about this book?!?! 7y
GypsyKat @Tiffy_Reads I don‘t know, but if you love the show you should read it! 7y
BookaholicNatty Awesome!!!!!! So glad you shared this! ❤️ 7y
AmyG I just watched Season 2....this book sounds great. 7y
JessClark78 I was looking at this on Amazon earlier today. I watched the first two seasons over the last couple weekends. Loved it. One of my new favorite shows. 7y
GypsyKat @BookaholicNatty @AmyG @JessClark78 I love this show so much! I‘ve watched it through three times so far. It‘s partly the 80‘s nostalgia, party the freaky sci-fi stuff, partly the fantastic characters and acting. I‘m just... I‘m just a big, nerdy fan! 😆 7y
JessClark78 @GypsyKat I love all those things about the show too! I even got the soundtrack because I love the music they use. I just watched for the first time and I‘m rewatching with the husband when he has time to sit and watch. Can‘t wait for the next season! 7y
GypsyKat @JessClark78 oh man! Now I need to get the soundtrack! 😆 7y
JessClark78 @GypsyKat I saw a couple different soundtracks but the one I got has all the good ‘80s songs from both seasons with some dialogue clips from the show thrown in. It‘s great! 😁 7y
maich Nice picture😍 7y
AmyG @GypsyKat I think the casting is just great. I love the parts where there are no demogorgons....just the characters interacting. I love the 80‘s nostalgia, too. The music! 7y
GypsyKat @maich Thank you! 😊 7y
GypsyKat @JessClark78 Thanks! I‘ll take a look! 😀 7y
GypsyKat @AmyG Yes!! Yes yes yes to everything you said!!! ❤️❤️❤️ 7y

I meant to post this two days ago! Thanks for the tag @Magpiegem 😊

1. The dog on top is Rocky, the one below is Colby.

2. 10 1/2 years, and 7 1/2 years.

3. Rocky loves to play with those big air-filled plastic bubbles that come as packing material. Colby will burry a ball in the couch cushions just to dig it out again.

4. I‘m tagging anyone who feels like it. YOU! You‘ve been tagged. 😉

#PetsAndPaperbacks @HotMessJess

Magpiegem Very cute pups 😊 my children bury stuff in the sofa just to dig it out- they would get on!! 😄 7y
Jess7 What type of dogs are these? So cute!! 7y
GypsyKat @Magpiegem Thank you! 😊 7y

GypsyKat @Jess7 Thanks! They‘re cockapoos, but Rocky has more poodle than cocker spaniel in him. 😊 7y
GypsyKat @Jess7 💗💗💗 7y
AlaMich Have you lost a lot of couch cushions to puppy nails? 😊 7y
GypsyKat @AlaMich Amazingly, not a single one! 😁 7y
HotMessJess Look at them in their dapper sweaters!! Oh my goodness, so cozy and adorable!! Sorry for the late response (been a Wild week!) thanks for the share! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7y
GypsyKat @HotMessJess Thank you! I took both of these pictures during Christmas, so the sweaters keep them cozy while it snows. 😊 7y

Yes!!!! I always said that so much about the upside-down (specifically the spores in the air and the organic, plant like look of things in the upside-down) have always reminded me SO MUCH of The Last Of Us!

Btw, if you‘re into video games and haven‘t played that, you need to. It‘s like a movie.

(And yes I know, I‘m missing Dustin)

TheWhiteHatter @That-Bookish-Hiker wait! There is a Funko Pop Store?!!! 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @TheWhiteHatter their HQ is in Everette, Washington. I‘m going to Seattle this weekend for the Litsy meet-up and I‘ll be making a pit stop at the Funko Store. 7y
IheartYA We received Dustin today from Amazon. He was hard to get over the holidays! 7y
Nonaroo I love it and really loved season 2 (it gave me an even bigger dose of 80s nostalgia than season 1). I need more of Lucas‘s sister! She was so funny. 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 Love them all! Great picture ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7y
GypsyKat @That-Bookish-Hiker So sweet of you!!!! Have fun with your Litsy meet up! ♥️♥️♥️ (edited) 7y
GypsyKat @IheartYA Fun! Yeah, he‘s harder to find. 7y
GypsyKat @ForeverNerdy Thank you!!! 😁♥️ 7y
TheWhiteHatter Thats so awesome @That-Bookish-Hiker ! Hope you have a great time at the Litsy meetup! 7y
GypsyKat @Nonaroo Yes! Season two was great! And I‘m so with you about the 80‘s nostalgia! There‘s a scene where Mike is getting rid of some toys, and he‘s got a stuffed monkey that is exactly the same as one I got for Christmas in 1983 and I STILL have it! I squealed when I saw it on the show! 😆♥️ 7y
LA_Mead I love Stranger things! Such a great show. 7y

This book is excellent! It‘s not behind the scenes looks. It‘s more than eggos and Christmas lights. It‘s about all of the 80s inspiration, about the movies and shows and books and music referenced. About how the Duffer Brothers tip their hats to all of the things they grew up loving and put them into one amazing show.

Texreader Thanks for the heads up!!! 7y
