It's Not Easy Being Green: And Other Things to Consider | Jim Henson

pick

“Reading by Candlelight” for #BookishMonopoly is quite a sensory experience! Seeing the pages in soft light, hearing the flicker of the flame, feeling the crisp pages & smelling the fragrant candle.🕯️I didn‘t realize reading by candlelight could be so calming & peaceful, especially with inspiring stories & quotes by Jim Henson & friends.
Fave candle scent: Market Square: a sweet blend of gardenia and tuberose.

Jari-chan Oh wow, so beautiful 😍🕯️ 6mo

MemoirsForMe Next time, I must choose a classic that used to be read back in its time by candlelight. 6mo

MemoirsForMe @Jari-chan I‘ll be investing in more reading candles! 😉 6mo

It's Not Easy Being Green: And Other Things to Consider | Jim Henson

It‘s time for this month‘s #BookishMonopoly! I rolled a nine again and landed on “Read By Candlelight.” Not sure where I found this prompt! 🤓📖🕯️I thought I‘d go with more wisdom from Jim Henson and The Muppets. It‘s been on my TBR for awhile. Thanks again to @AkashaVampie for inspiring me to take on this challenge and to fellow player @Jari-chan
Now I need to search around for some candles!

AkashaVampie Oh fun... and u are so welcome. I love to inspire people to read. Also, let me know what scent u use for the candle. Hope it smells wonderful. 7mo

Jari-chan What a lovely prompt! Let us know how it's going 😀❤️🕯️ 7mo

MemoirsForMe @AkashaVampie I just found one with a gardenia scent. I may start with that and then maybe try some different ones. 7mo

MemoirsForMe @Jari-chan Thx! Will keep you posted. Maybe I should have picked a dusty old classic written before there was electricity. 🤓✒️📜 7mo

Jari-chan @UwannaPublishme Oh, that would've been so fitting! 🤭 7mo

I learned so much about the brilliant Jim Henson and all of his creative ventures in this compressive and fascinating bio. What an impact he made in the TV & film industries. I even got to meet Jim and visit the incredible NYC Muppet HQ back in the day. Whenever he was starting a project, his mantra was always: “Let‘s do something to make the world a better place.” He left us too soon.😢

Jim Henson: The Biography | Brian Jay Jones

Finally finished my #BookishMonopoly board! 😅 I‘m not as creative as @AkashaVampie and @Jari-chan , so I used a template by #ElaineHowlin and embellished it with a bunch of bookish stickers. My first roll was 8 and I landed on #Nonfiction. 🎲 So I chose this Jim Henson book that @Beatlefan129 reminded me was on my Kindle.
Thanks for hosting and inspiring me to play, @AkashaVampie ! Now I need to learn more of the rules!

Jari-chan Your board is beautiful 😍 So glad you joined in. Enjoy your book 😊 9mo

Deblovestoread This looks fun! 9mo

AkashaVampie Ur board is gorgeous hun. Yay!! Happy u could join us. As for the rules. U can do whatever u want. I do 5 rolls at a time, sometimes 10. I do it that way so I can jump right into another book after I'm done one. I believe @Jari-chan does 1 roll at a time. Do what works for u. Just Roll & Read. 9mo

AkashaVampie @Deblovestoread it is fun! Feel free to join in. Check some of my posts. 9mo

Jari-chan @Deblovestoread It is! 😊 I love playing it 🤭 9mo

mrp27 Neat! 9mo

MemoirsForMe @AkashaVampie Thank you Krysti! The stickers and template definitely saved me. 😁 And I did borrow several prompts from your beautiful board. Love these rules too, especially since I‘m a slow reader. I‘ll start with one roll at a time and see where it leads. Thx again for hosting such a cool challenge! 🤗❤️📚 9mo

MemoirsForMe @Jari-chan Thanks again for encouraging me to play. What a fun way to get to my many TBRs! Happy reading to you too! 9mo

MemoirsForMe @Deblovestoread @mrp27 Yes! Come join the fun! 9mo

AkashaVampie @UwannaPublishme u honestly can do what u want. For my community chest & chance, I have 2 cups that I pull from. So it's kinda like TBR Jar mixed in. And u are so welcome! Happy to help. 🤓 9mo

MemoirsForMe @AkashaVampie I love your idea for the chance and community chest cards. I may have to try that down the road. I am still in awe over your 5 or 10 rolls at a time. Wow! Happy Reading to you! 9mo

AkashaVampie @UwannaPublishme thanks. I just like having options when I read. And depending what I have on my list, it might not be available to me at a certain time. 9mo

Amiable This was such a good book! I didn‘t realize Jim Henson had such a subversive streak. Loved it! 😀 9mo

MemoirsForMe @Amiable Oh, I‘m loving it already! 😃 9mo

I grew up with Sesame Street, The Muppets, and Fraggle Rock so I really enjoyed reading about the man who brought them all to life. Jim Henson was a truly exceptional person—creative, collaborative, generous, silly. At times this book could get a little bogged down in minutiae, going through the events of Henson‘s life in almost daily detail. But overall I enjoyed learning more about his life and the incredible contributions he made to puppetry.

Karisa I have the Fraggle Rock song stuck in my head just reading the words Fraggle Rock 🤣🤣🤣 Watched and loved all those shows too! 10mo

MemoirsForMe I‘ve had this book on my Kindle forever. You have inspired me to put it on my next #BookSpin list. I must dust it off and read it now. 10mo
