I have definitely #changedmymindabout Shakespeare. I have much more appreciation for him and his plays than I did in high school. #feistyfeb @RealLifeReading #catsoflitsy

LauraBeth What a gorgeous cat! 😻 8y
TheLibrarian Love the kitty! 8y
DivineDiana I have made Shakespeare appreciation a goal this year! Started The Winter's Tale on @SerialReader but have no idea what I'm reading! 😬 (edited) 8y

#FeistyFeb Day 4: #ChangedMyMindAbout

Not this book in particular, but there was a time, about 12 or 13 years ago, when I couldn't imagine reading comics. Certainly they must be inferior to books purely in print?? Ha! What a fool I was. I was converted when someone shoved this book in my hands, and I read graphics constantly now.

Didn't hurt that I started with a masterpiece!

This is a series I #changedmymindabout. I hated the first book when I picked it up in high school, but loved it as an adult! #FeistyFeb

Dragon Tears | Dean Koontz

My friend gave me Koontz's Shadowfires in the 80s. I hated it. I thought it was rambling nonsense. Years later I got Dragon Tears and became a Koontz fangirl! I even reread Shadowfires and liked it. #fiestyfeb #changedmymindabout #secondchances

JoeStalksBeck Have you read From The Corner of His Eye? Brilliant Koontz! 8y
MaleficentBookDragon @GoodallBookHaul Yes. I enjoyed that one too. I have to say, though, that I ❤️ his older work the best. (edited) 8y
JoeStalksBeck I agree. I'm the same with Stephen King 8y

howlinglibraries Have you read Tick Tock or Fear Nothing? Those are my favorites! 8y
MaleficentBookDragon @howlinglibraries I loved those two. Strangers, Sole Survivor, Intensity, and Odd Thomas are my all time favorites. Some of the old ones like Darkfall and Twilight Eyes are amazing. I even ❤️ The Taking which a lot of fans hated. 8y
howlinglibraries I haven't read The Taking yet but I believe I have it! When I first started reading his books, I went on a collecting spree (much like with Stephen King) and somehow amassed 2/3 of his collection at the time within about a year haha. I need to scan them all into GR so I can keep up with which ones I have when I'm thrifting. 8y

#ChangedMyMindAbout

What I thought in my early twenties was sooooo romantic just made mid-thirties me angry.

Aside from the fact that it basically advocates eating disorders, the moral of this shallow tale is "Change yourself for a man." ???

#ChangedYourMindAbout #FeistyFeb

RiotMom I am right there with you on this one. I loved this the first time I read it, but as I've gotten older, it's made me so frustrated and mad. 8y
Twocougs I agree with you guys! 8y

I know it is shocking that I didn't immediately take to Sandman. For some reason I read a cousin's copy of "Fables" before anything else. It was a year or so before I re- started from the beginning. I love it more with every re-read. #changedmymindabout #fiestyfeb #day4 @RealLifeReading

JenP I read the first one and didn't like it all so gave up. Maybe I should keep reading 8y
RealLifeReading I'm rereading Sandman now. It's one of my favourite series! 8y
Seshat @JenP if you love mythology at all, give it another chance. 8y

After reading a couple issues of the retooled Archie and the March trilogy, I've #changedmymindabout comics and graphic novels. It took me some time to get into them, and they probably still won't be automatic reads for me but I've learned to appreciate them. #feistyfeb

Definitely my most radical #changedmymindabout. Read this the first time and HATED it (but finished it, oddly enough), listened to it a few years later and adored it. I reread it recently for a book group and still loved it. I would highly recommend listening to the audiobook. #feistyfeb @RealLifeReading

hlgreenfield Hmm maybe I should try listening to the audio book. I was reading it a few years ago and was enjoying it, but then DNF ( life got in the way, forgot where I was and couldn't face re-reading about 400 pages). I was always curious about what happened next in the book though. 8y
moranadatter Hmm... Maybe there's hope for my most hated book. I should read it again. 8y
zsuzsanna_reads There are so many layers to this book. I like the footnotes. 8y
gossamerchild @hlgreenfield @kmdartist honestly, the audio is the way to go if you struggled with the print version. I appreciated the humor more when I heard it in a posh British accent 😉 8y

I know I have used this for another prompt recently, but this is a series I #ChangedMyMindAbout

I originally read the first 3 in the series. I enjoyed them, but not enough to continue with the series. I did however keep them. When I reread them a couple of years later I sped through them and NEEDED to know what happened next! 😊

#ChangedYourMindAbout #FeistyFeb

Rebekaaah This is a series I need to get back into, I loved it originally - think I've got up to book 8? 🤔 But then time and life got in the way and I lost track of it. Adding it to my pile for this year! 8y
Bookworm54 @Rebekaaah it ended at 13 Books, but the prequel is out soon ☺ 8y
Rebekaaah @Bookworm54 I really need to get on that then hah! 8y

Okay, there are a lot of things I can get on board with. But sparkly vampires? Nope. Can't do it. This will never be a book I've #changedmymindabout. #feistyfeb @RealLifeReading
Sorry if it's an unpopular opinion!

Melissa_J I'm totally with you 😃 8y
lynneamch Can't do it. Just too many other good books waiting on my tbr. (Though I have to admit I liked Dark Shadows way back when. And, the Johny Depp movie was hilarious. ) 😃 8y
Weaponxgirl All agreed here! 8y
MaleficentBookDragon I'm right there with you. I read one chapter and said Nope. 8y
