thewallflower0707 Hi, can I ask you where you bought the letter pieces? I really love your aesthetic. 3y

bookish.mum @thewallflower0707 Thank you ❤ I just got them out of a Scrabble game I have. There are similar tiles at Kmart, like little wooden type ones 😊 3y

Bridge to Terabithia | Katherine Paterson

5🌟 The ending is an absolute shock. The last 3 chapters are a complete shock. I guess I never had any clue what this book was about. I‘m glad I decided to try it tonight. I love the Narnia references an the kids as Queens and Kings. I loved how this was a story that could be any two kids. This was just a great book. The ending almost made me cry. I‘m going to have to check out the movie now. I hope it‘s as good as this.

LibrarianRyan They did an excellent job on the movie. 6y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan I‘m actually listening to an interview with Katherine Paterson and her son David who co-wrote and coproduced it. They‘re both saying that they needed to make sure it was true to the little girl who was really Lisa. 6y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan at the appropriate age for this book I was actually dealing with the death of a sibling (or so I thought), and this book probably would have helped me a lot. 6y

LibrarianRyan @GingerAntics that sounds like an interesting interview. And I agree, I rev this book all the time for those who want/need death books. 6y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk This just destroyed me as a kid. I picked it up because it gave off a Narnia vibe but didn‘t know what I was getting into. I still love it though. 6y

GingerAntics @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I can see that. It does have a bit of a Narnian vibe. The ending is just so intense and out of nowhere. 6y

Taking this for a little, last minute, 2018 adventure. Taking it on as an audiobook. I‘ve never read this, so I‘m really excited to see what it‘s all about now.

LibrarianRyan Ahhhhhhhhhh. I would love to say more as this is my favorite book! 6y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan I have no idea why this wasn‘t a popular book when I was in the appropriate grade for it. I‘m glad I finally got to hear this story. It is a really good story. 6y

LibrarianRyan @GingerAntics it might just be where you are located. I was a children‘s librarian in Denver and knew all the popular books, what was hot, what I had to get kids to take a chance on. Then I moved back home to Illinois and it was completely different big books in Denver were unheard of here, and some older so so books were weeded in a Denver because they were so so. Has a lot to do with education standards, population, poverty level, etc. 6y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan Hm that‘s an interesting thing to consider. I was also just thinking about how this book is often challenged because it deals with death and “death isn‘t appropriate for 10 year olds.” It easily could have been removed from our library. I went to a private school with a small, sheltered library that was a bit smaller than the classrooms...in the basement, in fact. lol How fitting. A too small room in the basement. 6y

LibrarianRyan @GingerAntics you are correct. The death thing does play in to funding and poverty. If you are a library or a school which are you more likely to purchase : an little known author who book may be seen as problematic, or a classic proven in other school. Heck with current funding that argument is still heavily in play. 6y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan heck, I‘m kind of surprised schools haven‘t just gotten rid of libraries in favour of all digital these days. The national school system doesn‘t care one bit about actually educating schools. Just look at “common core.” 🙄 6y

LibrarianRyan @GingerAntics don‘t get me started. Denver suburbs were building schools without libraries and expected the public library to pic up the slack. Which luckily they were funded well enough to do so. And pushed to make a library card a required school supply. Made my life fun, but worse for the kids. 6y

LibrarianRyan @GingerAntics plus, at least around here, the “librarian” is there to teach digital literacy. You know instead of real literacy. 6y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan that‘s not right. That is just not even remotely right. Going to the school library, library time, was such a treat. It was a privilege and if were naughty in the library you had to sit in the principal‘s office on the next library day and no one wanted that. Why make kids hate the library? No desire to teach kids anything useful. None at all. I‘m sorry, I don‘t understand people who think their kids are at such an advantage there. 6y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan 🤦🏼‍♀️ I can‘t even. Why should kids know how to read? It might make them think original thoughts and ask questions when they are told to start persecuting minorities or find themselves persecuted with them. FFS 6y

LibrarianRyan @GingerAntics trust me I agree. The other thing happening here is they keep the library but do away with the librarian. Replace then with a TA or a volunteer. Many that do this buy books by committee. 6y

GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan no wonder book banning and challenging is on the rise. Lovely. Just lovely. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 6y

I got my 1st tattoo 2 months ago, & this photo fresh on the table is still the only one I've got. It's a #bookishtattoo -inspired by #bridgetoterabithia.

It's a fancified version of the wreath that Jess makes for Leslie, using the natural flora & fauna from their forest: pine boughs, crabapple blossoms & fruit, spring beauties, & cardinal feathers. We can all be Kings & Queens of Terabithia, if we keep wonder & imagination alive.

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled That is beautiful- I love it 8y

monalyisha Thanks @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled! I love how it turned out... and it didn't hurt nearly as much as I was expecting! I think actually reading "Bridge to Terabithia" was much more painful (in a wonderful, heartfelt way, of course). 8y

The Last Unicorn | Peter S. Beagle

I love these books and their movies! I loved the movie for #TheLastUnicorn as a child and when I found out it was a book first (in Jr. High) I rushed out to buy it! Such a happy day for me! Lol #MadeIntoAMovie #SeptPhotoChallenge #WhereTheRedFrenGrows & #BridgeToTerabithia also also qualify for #MadeMeCry (and ugly cry at that - every time - both books and movies) #PrincessBride & #Austenland made me laugh until I cried. Oh, the joy of books!💕📚

raelaschoenherr I've never read The Princess Bride and I know that's shameful! I should remedy that by the end of the year :) 8y

Sue @raelaschoenherr You're not alone! I've purposefully never read in case it made me hate the movie, but my Listy peeps have convinced me that it's great. I'll be reading it by the end of the year too :) 8y

Bette The Last Unicorn remains so special to me too. 💕😊❤️ 8y

kammartinez Ahh, The Last Unicorn. A boom and film that never fail to turn on the waterworks. 8y

raelaschoenherr I've heard it's a delightful book, and I know the author is also the one who wrote the screenplay so that helps! I just listened to As You Wish this year and totally want to read and re-watch now :)
