Madame Tussaud : a Life in Wax | Kate Berridge

#WinterWonderland Day 14: My teenage daughter, 4 years ago, living out #AFairytaleOfNewYork as we watched Broadway shows, toured Manhattan, bought loads of books, and inhaled the living breathing vibe of the city that sings in our veins. Daughter fell in love with the city.

Cinfhen, TrishB

TrishB It‘s on my bucket list! 5y

Centique What a sweetie! 😊 5y

The Good Fairies of New York | Martin Millar

One of those books I bought years ago, probably because of the Gaiman introduction. And still unread 🙈

#AFairytaleofNewYork #AFairytaleofNY #WinterWonderland @TrishB @Cinfhen

TrishB We could have a library just with our unread books! 5y

Cathythoughts Your shelves look lovely & inviting 👍🏻♥️ 5y

saresmoore I am loving that psychedelic cover! 5y

Sea of Rust | C. Robert Cargill

#WinterWonderland For all the AI robots left who inhabited the world this probably seemed like #AFairyTaleOfNewYork.

Cinfhen, TrishB

TrishB Another great pick which I have already stacked! 5y

Cinfhen That image on the cover is giving me some deja vu vibes ~was this a movie??? 5y

Reggie @TrishB Thanks! @Cinfhen No but maybe it‘s giving you Terminator flashbacks? 5y

Cinfhen Maybe!!! I just finished Our Short History!!! LOVED IT❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ 5y

Reggie @Cinfhen ughh, the part where he says the dad‘s gf would let him do whatever and she just goes crazy saying I‘m your mother I‘m your mom I‘m your mom.😭😭😭and that whole side story about the political opponent with cancer was nice too. Glad you liked it!! 5y

Cinfhen I‘m not sure what to make of the dad. I kind of wanted to hate him but I couldn‘t!!! But I wanted too!!! And I LOVED Beverly Hernandez 😭😭😭 5y

Cinfhen And yes, that was sooooo awful!! But when she called her dad and told him she was dying!!!!! Oh God!!!! Bawling!!!!!! 5y

Reggie @Cinfhen oh God, yeah. Did you go through a whole box of Kleenex? Allie was a great sister. 5y

Cinfhen I just used my sleeve!!! I was so distraught 😩😩😩😩 (edited) 5y

Reggie @TrishB this was the conversation we had yesterday after @Cinfhen finished. I cried my eyes out everywhere but that part where she kept saying I‘m your mother, I‘m your mom, I‘m your mom was brutal. And the part where Beverly Hernandez said she has to be strong for her daughter tore me up. 5y

Cinfhen Have you read any other books by this author??? I really liked her “voice” 5y

Reggie @Cinfhen I have, A Friend of the Family, and it‘s about a well to do doctor, his best friend and their crazy spoiled kids. But it‘s sooooo good. I think she‘s an author that‘s slept on. (edited) 5y

Cinfhen Thanks, I‘m gonna add that one☝🏾 5y

TrishB @Reggie that bit broke me too, I know that‘s absolutely how I would feel, yet I know I would want the best for my son! So good how the author dealt with all the different aspects of human emotions. 5y

Reggie Hey @JennyM this was our little discussion of the book. 5y

Snow White: A Graphic Novel | Matt Phelan

I‘ve been wanting to read this, not exactly #afairytaleofnewyork but a beautifully illustrated retelling of the classic fairytale set during the Depression era of NYC.

Gregor the Overlander | Suzanne Collins

My children tell me they consider #afairytaleofnewyork to be mine and my husbands “song”. For anyone who knows the song- make of that what you will... also nothing says NYC fairytale more than giant rats under the city. #winterwonderland

Cinfhen, TrishB

CoffeeNBooks I loved this entire series! 5y

Ruthiella I don‘t know the book but the idea seems sweet of your kids!😀 5y

Cinfhen Your description and the blurb sounds a lot like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 🐢 😂💚 5y

TrishB Funny 😁 5y

Chrissyreadit @Ruthiella not the book- the song by the Pogues. It is a favorite song but not very flattering for a marriage 🤣 5y

Chrissyreadit @CoffeeNBooks the series was a favorite in my house too! 5y

Clare-Dragonfly I love the song but… 🤔 5y
