Jim Henson: The Biography | Brian Jay Jones
post image

Finally finished my #BookishMonopoly board! 😅 I‘m not as creative as @AkashaVampie and @Jari-chan , so I used a template by #ElaineHowlin and embellished it with a bunch of bookish stickers. My first roll was 8 and I landed on #Nonfiction. 🎲 So I chose this Jim Henson book that @Beatlefan129 reminded me was on my Kindle.
Thanks for hosting and inspiring me to play, @AkashaVampie ! Now I need to learn more of the rules!

Jari-chan Your board is beautiful 😍 So glad you joined in. Enjoy your book 😊 4w
Deblovestoread This looks fun! 4w
AkashaVampie Ur board is gorgeous hun. Yay!! Happy u could join us. As for the rules. U can do whatever u want. I do 5 rolls at a time, sometimes 10. I do it that way so I can jump right into another book after I'm done one. I believe @Jari-chan does 1 roll at a time. Do what works for u. Just Roll & Read. 4w

UwannaPublishme @AkashaVampie Thank you Krysti! The stickers and template definitely saved me. 😁 And I did borrow several prompts from your beautiful board. Love these rules too, especially since I‘m a slow reader. I‘ll start with one roll at a time and see where it leads. Thx again for hosting such a cool challenge! 🤗❤️📚 4w
UwannaPublishme @Jari-chan Thanks again for encouraging me to play. What a fun way to get to my many TBRs! Happy reading to you too! 4w
UwannaPublishme @Deblovestoread @mrp27 Yes! Come join the fun! 4w
AkashaVampie @UwannaPublishme u honestly can do what u want. For my community chest & chance, I have 2 cups that I pull from. So it's kinda like TBR Jar mixed in. And u are so welcome! Happy to help. 🤓 4w
UwannaPublishme @AkashaVampie I love your idea for the chance and community chest cards. I may have to try that down the road. I am still in awe over your 5 or 10 rolls at a time. Wow! Happy Reading to you! 4w
AkashaVampie @UwannaPublishme thanks. I just like having options when I read. And depending what I have on my list, it might not be available to me at a certain time. 4w
Amiable This was such a good book! I didn‘t realize Jim Henson had such a subversive streak. Loved it! 😀 4w

I grew up with Sesame Street, The Muppets, and Fraggle Rock so I really enjoyed reading about the man who brought them all to life. Jim Henson was a truly exceptional person—creative, collaborative, generous, silly. At times this book could get a little bogged down in minutiae, going through the events of Henson‘s life in almost daily detail. But overall I enjoyed learning more about his life and the incredible contributions he made to puppetry.

Karisa I have the Fraggle Rock song stuck in my head just reading the words Fraggle Rock 🤣🤣🤣 Watched and loved all those shows too! 2mo
UwannaPublishme I‘ve had this book on my Kindle forever. You have inspired me to put it on my next #BookSpin list. I must dust it off and read it now. 2mo

Everytime I discover another Jim Henson project, I am remind of what a singular talent he was. One of the long list of unproduced absurdist/surrealist screenplays from the 60s, this graphic novel interpretation features minimal dialogue and vibrant art.

My topics bookclub is reading “childhood favorites” for January, so I reached for this. I hadn‘t read it before, but I have watched the movie many many times.

It started kind of slowly and I didn‘t care for the writing style at first, but once Jen leaves the valley of the urRu it picks up and gets better.

It‘s not exactly like the movie, but only very minor differences. I liked it, but the movie is better in my opinion. Venkman agrees 😺

Leftcoastzen So cute!😻 1y
bookishbitch Did you ever watch the new show? I thought it was excellent. I've read some of the graphic novels and really liked them too. I've watched this movie so many times! I also just ordered a book called The Shadow Glass which sounds intriguing. 1y
Soubhiville @bookishbitch I did watch the show and liked it 😊. I‘ve only read the creation myth GN, but I‘d read more if I come across them. I got The Shadow Glass for Xmas and plan to read it in Jan! 1y

Geez, I hope this improves soon. The opening chapter had me tearing up with Henson's funeral, then I skipped 50 pages as it talked about children's TV at the time and some producer's life story. Not a great start.
