#BibliophileAdventCalendar #Day20

The #AdventPromptoftheDay is:

🎄 What book altered your entire existence? Can you pinpoint how or why?

Answer in the comments ⬇️ or post and tag 💜

vivastory I have a few answers, most from childhood:
*Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.(W/ the original illustrations)
*Where the Sidewalk Ends: for the wordplay & showing me what is possible with language
*Choose Your Own Adventure: No notes needed
*Hinton: Outsiders (Reading *way* ahead of the assignment)
*Book read as an adult that I feel really deepened my understanding, and therefore changed me-Stamped from etc

tournevis The tagged book, about art and grief, helped me remember why I create. I reread it every year. 2w
TheBookgeekFrau The Way of the Peaceful Warrior helped me learn how to get the hell out of my own head 2w

CBee The Bell Jar. It made me feel seen. 2w
BethM Th witch of blackbird pond was the first chapter book I remember reading on my own and it was a totally immersive experience. It taught me escape. 2w
BethM @vivastory Scary Stories single handedly prevented me ever reading more horror. For some reason I read all of them even though they gave me horrific nightmares. I‘ll never understand what the adults were thinking 😂 2w

bellabella Preach it!! Too many times I see Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and even sometimes other generations too immersed in the little devices in their hands to look up and out. 7mo
Eggs Makes me feel at peace ☮️ 7mo
DebinHawaii Love this. Sometimes it‘s hard to remember just how much beauty does exist in the world if only we look & see it! 💛🐝💛 7mo

Hamlet | William Shakespeare

#Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter #DailyPhotoPrompt #Day20 #Murder

“Murder most foul, as in the best it is / But this most foul, strange and unnatural.”

vivastory This has become one of my favorite Shakespeare plays over the past year or so 3y
Kimberlone @vivastory it‘s definitely his most intellectual play and the deepest to examine. I also love Macbeth as a counterpoint to Hamlet…more focus on action and murder, but still a lot of big questions to ponder! 3y
vivastory I think Macbeth might still be my all time favorite, but I agree with you. It almost feels inexhaustible in terms of the interpretations. Have you watched the David Tennant version? 3y
Kimberlone @vivastory yes, it‘s been many years but I have seen that version. I also quite liked the more recent Benedict Cumberbatch version! 3y

#BestAndWorseThingAboutCurrentAge

Look, I'm middle age.
It's awesome and horrendous all-at-once!
You have all this wisdom and knowledge and people respect you.
But there's menopause and hurting yourself whilst sleeping. Sore muscles and mood swings. Joy.

Leftcoastzen Unfortunately it doesn‘t get better , I am dealing with a sore knee that comes & goes.🙄 3y
fredamans @Leftcoastzen I hope you find something to ease your pain. 3y
Leftcoastzen Reading & great posts like yours! 3y
