I'm taking a rather loose interpretation of today's #octphotochallenge. I am an 80s kid, and of course I had a cabbage patch kid and my little ponies, but books were my love even back then. They were my toys. We lived in England for a while, and these Enid Blyton books were my favorites. They are extremely well worn, and now they are in my kiddos' rooms. #80stoysinbookform

Speaking of the '80s. You don't need to bribe me with Pizza Hut to make me read (but it helps). Here's to reading challenges for kids! #octphotochallenge #80stoysinbookform #booktober

Did anyone else hide under the covers with a Gloworm and read books, hoping your parents wouldn't catch you? 🐛 #octphotochallenge #80stoysinbookform

Killing Kindness | Reginald Hill
post image

#80stoysinbookform A Killing Kindness has one of my favourite twists from the Dalziel & Pascoe series. A killer communicating through Shakespeare quotes, the papers calling him The Yorkshire Choker and a police investigation littered with clairvoyants, linguists and psychiatrists. Twists and turns Yorkshire-style #octphotochallenge

KarenUK Clever!💗 8y

My SIL and I went to a Hello Kitty museum exhibit a couple of years ago. We like her, even if we are adults. 😸 #80stoysinbookform #octphotochallenge

Librarianaut One is never too old for Hello Kitty! 8y
ApoptyGina69 I have a number of Hello Kitty purses, totes, stickers, even a blanket. I was bummed out when our local Sanrio store closed, but I got some deep discounts there at the end. 😻 8y
rubyslippersreads @Vexingcircumstance @Librarianaut @ApoptyGina69 I should have known that, in addition to finding bookish kindred spirits on @Litsy, I would also find fellow Hello Kitty fans. 😺❤️ 8y
LibrarianRyan Love Hello Kitty. 8y

#80stoysinbookform. I don't know about you but I definitely had a My Little Pony toy! Quite a few and I loved them all. My Little Pony has come a long way! But in honor of the love I had for them, they were chosen for today! #booktober #octophotochallenge.

Bookzombie I had My Little Ponies too. I think I preferred the style from my childhood over now, as far as how they look. 🙂 8y
TheNextBook I agree! And nothing beats the theme song. I like that a new generation gets to enjoy it. This was a picture of a graphic novel from my schools library! The kids love them. 8y

I loved Strawberry Shortcake as a kid. I had a large strawberry that all the dolls went in. I also remember checking out books like this one from the library. (I couldn't find this exact one on Litsy.)

Now I have a Strawberry Shortcake ornament for my Christmas tree. It still smells like strawberries even after years. 🙂🍓
