Continuing to read Children of the New World & now I've moved on to Chipotle & starting Stranger Things. I'm hooked & only on episode 2. I know I'm going to have major withdrawal when it's over. 😭😭😭
Does anyone have any book recommendations to read that will scratch this itch?! It reminds me of what happens if the X-Files, Twin Peaks, ET, and Carrie had a creepy 80s baby. 😱😬
Librariana If you haven't read it already, maybe![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Ready Player One: A Novel 8y
Ready Player One: A NovelLibrariana Also: absolutely ADORED Stranger Things!! So phenomenal! 😍 8y
BookishFeminist @librariana I have & loved it! Might do a reread on audio though. 😭😭 I'm nervous I've run the gambit on most creepy horror things people will recommend! Also yes, this show is amazing. 8y

Eyelit My best friends exorcism is the only thing that I've read lately that comes close - 80's nostalgia mixed with creepiness 8y
BookishFeminist @Eyelit Oh good I have that on my October TBR!! Out from the library right now! 8y
OSChamberlain That show is glorious. And the director made the kids watch all those 80s movies and shows to prepare for the role! 8y
BookishFeminist @OSChamberlain YESSS YOU HAVE TO RAISE THEM RIGHT 8y
Christy2318 Book Riot did a couple of lists for people who like Stranger Things recently. One was YA. 8y
OSChamberlain I will most certainly raise my own children as 80s and 90s children. 8y
BookishFeminist @Christy2318 I've seen it! Most are on my TBR already 😭 #bookwormproblems #creepproblems 8y
Librariana Ok! Final rec/suggestion because I'm obsessed with this series:Paper Girls 8y
Paper GirlsBookishFeminist @OSChamberlain lol have fun with that. I will attempt it but it may not work 😂 8y
BookishFeminist @librariana Score! It's on my TBR but haven't read it yet. I will move it up for when I need my stranger things fix 👍🏼👍🏼 thank you!! 8y
Librariana Yay!! 😄 Enjoy when you get to it! ❤ these girls!! 8y
LeahBergen The husband and I were just talking this evening about making this our next binge viewing. I'm sure we'll like it! 👍🏼 8y
Tcip Seriously read 14 if you want to scratch the mystery sci fi itch.14 8y
14Shortstack You should read some old Christopher Pike or R.L. Stein books. That will itch the scratch! 😂😂😂 8y
Texreader This show felt like a mix of ET and Stand By Me. Glad you like it! My daughter and I binge watched it. 8y
Bambolina_81 @BookishFeminist I'm on episode 5 and was thinking the same thing. It's such a step back in time I'm loving it. @Shortstack I loved Christopher Pike and all the Point Horror books in the 80s and 90s 👻 8y
emily_jkn Paper girls! It's set in 1988 and is about 4 girls riding around on bikes dealing with some scary stuff not of this world.Paper Girls Vol. 1 8y
Paper Girls Vol. 1erinreads Everything about this picture makes me jealous: Chipotle (even though it's 6 in the morning) and watching Stranger Things for the first time. 💕💕 8y
mauveandrosysky The only recommendation I can think of that's even remotely close isBroken Monsters 8y
Broken MonstersAGirlAndHerBooks So much awesomeness happening here in this picture... 8y
meagankc21 I watched it in 3 days. Would've been 2 if i didn't have to go to work lol 8y
Sraexx Omg omg omg. I wish I were you, starting all over. I finished it months ago and still think of it almost constantly. 8y
TheNextBook Are you seriously just now getting to Stranger Things?! I'm anxiously waiting Season 2! 8y
becausetrains @TheNextBook if you read the Southern Reach trilogy, we'll watch Stranger Things S2 😝😝😝 (jk, we will watch anyway 😄) 8y
TheNextBook @becausetrains You got me! I'm going to read it! I promise. 8y
BookishFeminist @LeahBergen Omg you're going to get ADDICTED. 😱 8y
BookishFeminist @Tcip Thanks for the rec! I haven't heard of that one before but it's on my list now. 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack I might just do that! That's not a bad idea! 😂 8y
BookishFeminist @Texreader I agree! I wish we could binge watch it more than we can! It's about 2 episodes a night for us. 8y
BookishFeminist @Bambolina_81 We just finished episode 4. What the heck?!?! 8y
BookishFeminist @emily_jkn It's on my list. Thank you! 8y
BookishFeminist @erinreads I am always hungry for Chipotle so I understand that completely. I am loving the show!! 8y
BookishFeminist @mauveandrosysky Oh that's a good one! I need to get back to that. I might this fall. 😀 8y
BookishFeminist @AGirlAndHerBooks @meagankc21 @Sraexx I am loving this show!!! Darn work getting in the way of everything. Wish I'd started it this weekend so I could have binge watched it! 8y
BookishFeminist @TheNextBook 😂😂 We are seriously just getting to it! We don't get much time for tv!! 8y
Shortstack @TheNextBook OMG! You need to read the Southern Reach Trilogy!! 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack Right?! @TheNextBook the peer pressure is real!! 8y
Tcip @BookishFeminist duuuuuudeeee you are going to dig it so hard. 8y
BookishFeminist @Tcip I can't wait, it looks amazing & right up my alley!! 8y
Tcip Best part is there is a semi sequel. I'm trying to hold off reading it because I loved 14 so much that I want to take my time with The Fold but...... I'm not sure I will. 8y
Crystalblu The Girl With All The Gifts was recommended to me and I loved it! 8y
Bambolina_81 @BookishFeminist I binge watched the rest of it yesterday...LOVED IT! Winona Ryder is fab. I need to read these books now because I'm in withdrawal 😂 8y
BookishFeminist @Crystalblu Oh that's a good call! I've been meaning to read that one too. I hear the audio is good! 8y
BookishFeminist @Tcip Oh awesome! Don't hold back- it's the season for creepy stuff!! 8y
BookishFeminist @Bambolina_81 😭😭 I wish I could binge watch it!! I'm stuck at 2 episodes a night with my partner's work schedule since we're watching it together. At least you have a reading list now! 8y
TheNextBook @Shortstack @BookishFeminist @becausetrains Yes! I'm feeling the peer pressure but its for me to read! 😂😂😂 8y
Crystalblu @BookishFeminist I bet! Can't wait for the movie! 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @BookishFeminist , since reading this post I have gone from never hearing about this show to binge watching it in 3 days.....oh so good!!! Thank you!! I'm stuck recuperating from a fractured hip (never, ever fracture a hip...go to gym, listen audiobooks and build muscle!) and this show totally took my mind off everything!! So thanks again!!! I'm so happy I caught this post!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 8y
BookishFeminist @JanuarieTimewalker13 💙💙💙 I'm sorry to hear about your hip! but glad this was able to bring comfort!! I'm glad you caught this post too! I need completely immersive things when I'm recovering from things too. Hope the rest of your recovery goes smoothly. 😘 I wish I could binge watch it but can't bc of my partner's work schedule, so I'm not quite done yet. But it's keeping my mind off stuff too since I haven't been able to read much lately 💙 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @BookishFeminist Hope you get to watch it soon ! I need to check when season 2 is coming out in 2017. Was this based on a book? It doesn't say it is, just that it's created by brothers (forgot their name). 8y
BookishFeminist @JanuarieTimewalker13 I don't think it's based on a book but there are similar books I think! 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @BookishFeminist ok, thanks!! I commented on another of your posts, but I'm not sure if I used @bookishfeminist, you mentioned anxiety and I was wondering if you have tried taking magnesium, bc I just saw a YouTube about that. I'm pretty sure they said it helps anxiety. It helps a lot. 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I meant to finish that sentence:it helps a lot of things. 8y
