The Stories of Ray Bradbury | 
I bought this from the library sale a bunch of years ago. I can't pass up a huge hardcover collection for a quarter, even if it's slightly damaged! My 7th grader read All Summer In A Day, which I had confused with There Will Come Soft Rains so I just read both of them tonight. 😁 Anyone else remember the short film for All Summer In A Day from the 80s?
Hi.
As it‘s no longer winter jacket time ( 🎉 ), I‘ve changed my profile picture.
“Stuff your eyes with wonder.”
- Ray Bradbury
This is so true. I am defo reading less contemporary and award winning fiction this year. 👍

When I saw that the Author-A-Month for September was to be a celebration of Ray Bradbury I became immediately excited because I knew that I owned a treasure book of his brilliant imagination, The Stories of Ray Bradbury. I‘ve read several stories out of this book over the years, yet I have many more to go. It‘s a really BIG book! This is my endeavor for #AuthorAMonth with R.B. in mind...👇🏽
#AuthorAMonth - September- Ray Bradbury: I was happy to start my Author-A-Month participation in the month of September because of honoring Mr. Bradbury. It seem fitting because Ray and I, we go a long way back. It must be junior high or maybe elementary school...somewhere in there I came across his determination to fill the literary world with strange, peculiar...utterly odd and brilliantly imaginative stories of a far out mind. He was a wonder!
Getting ready for adult story time at my library. Unfortunately, it seems a fitting time to revisit “There Will Come Soft Rains”...
No reading today. My brother, sister, and I were going through my Dad's books. I have some real treasures that I will post in the future, but they are still in my car. This one I brought inside right away. A Sound of Thunder is one of my favorite short stories. I'm so happy my dad passed on his love of reading. #biblioweekend
Happy Birthday to the incredible Ray Bradbury. ❤️❤️❤️
Though I've enjoyed so much of his writing over the years, I have to say that his short stories have always been my favorite. Here are a few great ones that you can read today online in no time if you're interested (you should be able to find the PDFs):
- The Fog Horn
- A Sound of Thunder
- The Veldt
- All Summer In a Day
When I think of #innocence, it's hard not to flash to #bookishbirthday Ray Bradbury, whose work is infused with an American optimism and innocence (in both children and adults) that flourished in the post-war era: a belief that anything was possible. And Something Wicked is that balance between innocence and darkness, and the time when that all shifts under your feet. These are some of the finest stories of the 20th century. #AugustBookChallenge

Fun Photo Friday II: Literate Boogaloo. This is my home supernatural/weird fiction/occult collection. There's 1/4 shelf more above this. These are all short story anthologies for the most part. It's a life goal of mine to build an epic short story collection...collection.
Good morning! Hoping to spend a lazy Saturday reading (and housework). On this day in 1917, the Pulitzer Prizes were first awarded. It's a goal of mine to read every winner/finalist, but here are some recent favorites across several categories! (Kavalier & Clay is maybe my favorite of all time.)
