“All monsters should live under bridges or in closets or at the ends of dead-end roads.”
This was one of my first King books, mid-1980s.

Continuing the trend of occasionally posting non-sequitors so I don‘t get pulled back into other social media (Instagram, Facebook). Thanks for being here!
The non-book-related item of the moment is: I got bangs…which I already regret! 😅 I worried they might not look good, or that I might not be able to style them properly (which remains to be seen). It didn‘t occur to me that they might be plain annoying!
It‘s been raining, raining. 🌧️🌸🍃
A BIG smile for a BIG book. Taken just after getting home from the book store 🤓💕

There's an ice storm heading our way, so we took our son shopping and got him his first book haul (first time he's been active in picking his own books). Bring on the storm 🌨
Anybody else read children‘s books when needing a pallet cleanser. I picked up a couple children‘s books last year as a way to catch up on my reading goal, but I realize that it help with my reading slumps as well. It‘s also been a challenge as I look specifically for books with a Gothic theme and some of the ones I found have been so fun. Boris and Bella was definitely my favorite out of the three, but they were all good.

Pros: I liked the art style and the world/story was fascinating.
Cons: Riko was an annoying character that I had trouble liking. Most importantly was the depiction of the kids. These include punishments while they are naked, discussions about their genitals, and one character looks at another‘s privates while they are asleep. This apparently continues in every volume of this series, so I will not support it as this gives me pedo vibes.
Clever mouse. 😏 I can definitely see why it's a classic. I'm a sucker for a rhyming tale with good illustrations, especially when the protagonist succeeds by outwitting those who thought they had the upper hand.
