Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes: The Authorized Adaptation | 
panThis is the graphic novel/adaptation - I know its an #unpopularopinion but not a fan - the premise interesting - the execution was not good - I got the gist of it (I think) good wins over evil? - hard to follow the prose/poetry?? not sure what it was supposed to be - not sure the book would be any better - so I'll just mark this as read - and another book for #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter
make a great evening everyone -
My recent book haul. I haven‘t been on here much but I‘ve been thinking about you all!
Life‘s been busy, and lately not super great, but I‘m hoping things are beginning to change! It‘s like Ray Bradbury says: you have to live life as an optimal behaviorist, and when you behave that way you will have a feeling of optimism!
Come on life 🎲🎲; daddy needs a new pair of motivation!
Today‘s book haul.. Needed some retail therapy after putting our dog to sleep today. RIH TYSON One from my TBR, One I had on my wish list, One I had never heard of and One from my 100 bucketlist books!
pickStoryline ok but the writing was great! I‘ve never read such a descriptive book.
Books and beaches today. A beautiful day!
pickWhat a beautifully horrible story about the longings of childhood, the restlessness of 13 year old boys to grow up, the failings of fathers and the desire for youth and then, ultimately only love and laughter can banish evil. Much more than I thought it would be as a book written in 1962. You need to let the language wash over you and take you along on its calliope ride. 5⭐️
pickI absolutely loved this story about two boys, Will and Jim, neighbors and best friends, who discover the carnival that comes into town at the end of October. Wonderfully written as usual for Bradbury. I love the main theme, which is that laughter and love can drive out the darkness.
The next Sister/Brother book club pick! I wanted to read a classic spooky book and had this one unread on my shelf. I am 20% in and what a surprise, the writing is almost poetic- beautiful (and sinister)👻🎃Takes place on October 24 so I picked that well!
Didn‘t have many books at hand for today prompt for #31bookpics @howjessreads #spinepoetry but I tried🤷🏽♀️
Lullabies,
milk and Honey.
Dirty pretty things.
Before Midnight
Something wicked this way comes.
A few selections I picked up yesterday for the upcoming #spookathon. This one is right up my alley! Most of my choices will be read on kindle so will add the remainder of my list once it‘s compiled
best way to spend the weekend😊
#confession despite beeing super broke and having an seemingly endless pile of books unread at home I just had to buy this. I first bought it for @ephemeralwaltz #cupidgoespostal - but it sounded too interesting to not read it myself, so I had to buy it again😅🙈
The Qb section hits again! But this cover ???? and this title I've seen it about a lot it's a great title ?
This was my first horror. I have honestly forgotten most of plot, but clearly remember the atmosphere, the feelings of danger and uneasy I got from reading it.🍂🍂
#AllHallowsRead #scaryreads
pickRead this book in the dark, in Autumn...dreamlike.
I honestly cannot believe that I have never read this! Somehow it slipped through the cracks; better late than never!
