so-so

I didn't like this book [1], so at least it was useful for something. #WickedWords #Wicked #Asyouwish

[1] Unlikeable characters making bad decisions including an insufferable nepo baby, unbelievable secondary characters and NPCs, and just bleah.

willaful It was very much not for me either. 3mo

As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride | Cary Elwes, Joe Layden

Listening to #AsYouWish, couldn‘t bring myself to finish Lily Bennett‘s Bucket List (life‘s too short for mediocre romance novels), and still accumulating a #bookspin #backlog

Well Met | Jen DeLuca

I‘m taking liberty with the term “book haul” as one came from the library. 😁 Most of my books these days are for Kindle, but with “Well Met” being based at a Renaissance faire, I had to have a paper copy. I have a huge love for RenFaires! And who doesn‘t love “The Princess Bride”? I heard that the audiobook for “As You Wish” was amazing, so I picked up the CDs from my library. #asyouwish #caryelwes

wanderinglynn I read the book As You Wish and loved it. I want to listen to the audio version. 5y

Scochrane26 The audio is great. I‘m going to a comic con next weekend, and several princess bride people will be there, including Cary Elwes. 5y

Scochrane26 I also just got Well Met at the library. Keep seeing it on litsy, & I like Ren faires. 5y

Ladyval05 @Scochrane26 that sounds like it will be so much fun! I‘ve only been to a smaller local con and really enjoyed it. 5y

Ladyval05 @Scochrane26 I discovered Well Met the same way. Kept seeing it on Instagram and the Litsy, and with it taking place at a RenFaire... I had to have it. 🤷‍♀️ 5y

5🌟 All the bloody stars!!! This book was great. It was an absolute joy. Whoever on here read it and alerted me to its existence, thank you so much. I listened to the audiobook over the last three days and what a way to start the day. It's funny, you actually laugh as he's telling some of these crazy stories. It's just wonderful. I need more books like this one for the mornings. How can you have a bad day when you start your day with this?!

GingerAntics He got great additions from the rest of the cast, so it feels like a rounded remembrance of life while making this movie, from beginning to end. I adored this book. The best part, this English guy's big toe sounds more like a New Yorker than English. It's perfection. Every last bit of this book is perfection. #asyouwish #caryelwes #audiobook #teaandabook #teaandanaudiobook (edited) 6y

GingerAntics I loathe having to give it back to the library, but it's got a waiting list, so it's the nice thing to do. Sigh. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Such a great book!!!! 6y

I've been on the wait list for this for AGES!!! I'm so excited it's here. I'm switching to this, since it should be far more enjoyable with my morning tea. I'm thinking Gulliver's Travels will be better on serial reader instead of a dryly read audiobook (and not during NaNoWriMo).

GingerAntics I've been trying to find a few books my MC would read to his child(ren) that weren't necessarily children's books, but would still appeal to them. Maybe something that made his wife shake her head or his father chuckle. I can't believe I didn't think of The Princess Bride before now.
