“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 😍🕯️ 7mo

MemoirsForMe Next time, I must choose a classic that used to be read back in its time by candlelight. 7mo

MemoirsForMe @Jari-chan I‘ll be investing in more reading candles! 😉 7mo

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. 8mo

Jari-chan What a lovely prompt! Let us know how it's going 😀❤️🕯️ 8mo

MemoirsForMe @AkashaVampie I just found one with a gardenia scent. I may start with that and then maybe try some different ones. 8mo

MemoirsForMe @Jari-chan Thx! Will keep you posted. Maybe I should have picked a dusty old classic written before there was electricity. 🤓✒️📜 8mo

Jari-chan @UwannaPublishme Oh, that would've been so fitting! 🤭 8mo

1. Green, preferably forrest green.
2. Not really, unless its especially garish or ugly combination of colors.

#greenbooks for #30junebooks - an easy prompt when your shelves are sorted by color 🌈

@howjessreads

CoffeeNBooks Great picture! 🐸 6y

StayCurious Sorted by colour? How interesting- but there‘s a part of me that wonders how you remember what colour a book is when you‘re looking for it 🤔 love the picture btw 6y

BooknerdsLife Cute pic! 😆💚 6y

SenatorMothma @CoffeeNBooks @BooknerdsLife thank you 😀 6y

SenatorMothma @StayCurious I had the same concern! But I recently cut down my book collection quite a bit, and have a pretty visual memory, so it's not a big problem for me and it looks nice 😊 thanks! 6y

marleed I love this photo! 6y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk We are a Muppet household so this makes me happy. 6y

Nute Everything about this post makes me happy!💚🐸 6y

#5forDinner Dead Authors Society:

- Madeleine L'Engle
- Jim Henson
(He wrote screenplays! You let me have this!)
- Douglas Adams
- J. R. R. "Johnny" Tolkien
- C. S. "Jack" Lewis

Ray Bradbury, I'm terribly sorry but Tolkien and Lewis are a package deal in my head.

I will also apologize in advance to ol' Jack Lewis because I've read many times that he couldn't abide any type of spice on his food* and I will be serving tacos.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk *"If it ain't bland, it ain't British" is something he never ever said but probably thought. 7y

Texreader Great group! 7y

merelybookish Henson is totally legit! 7y

Soubhiville That's a fun party! 7y

saresmoore I don‘t think I can handle this. It‘s too much. First of all, Great Aunt Maddie is going to love having tacos. Secondly, JIM HENSON?!?! I‘m speechless. Thirdly, you win. 7y

LitLogophile What a lovely dinner this would be! 7y

Bradleygirl Oh man. 😍😍😍 7y

SpeculativeFemale I would totally crash that dinner party. You couldn't keep me out! LOL 7y

DGRachel You can include Jim Henson as long as I'm invited, too. 😍 7y

DivaDiane Oh, can I come?!? I love all of them! If I'd done a dead author's dinner, I would've chosen at least 4 of the 5. 7y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @saresmoore Thanks! Also, like for real your Great Aunt Maddie, or like how Stephen King is everyone's Uncle Stevie? < Sorry if silly question. 7y

saresmoore Not a silly question. I should probably get in the habit of clarifying because you‘re not the first to ask! She‘s my spiritual aunt, but no blood relation. 🙂 7y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @saresmoore I like and understand this and may now start calling C. S. Lewis "Great Uncle Jack". 7y

saresmoore My love for Great Uncle Jack also runs deep. I audited a course on his life & theology while my husband was at Fuller Seminary...mostly just as an excuse to buy the books! Meanwhile, I own & haven‘t read this one yet, but it looks pretty fascinating:

The Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings: J.R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @saresmoore Stacked! Always been fascinated by the Inklings. Their pub hangout in Oxford was my literary Mecca when I visited England. 7y

saresmoore How cool! That pilgrimage is on my bucket list for sure. 7y
