Robotswithpersonality

Pickpick

I love the art, I love the storytelling, that quirky kind that's okay abandoning a bit of reality, and yet still seeming so matter of fact about aspects of the characters' journeys and decisions. I think The Way Back Home is my favourite, how the author made the moon feel so accessible. 😊 Strong visual component, especially in The Way Back Home, it felt like it could have been just images, no words and been the same story. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Love the format switch up to accurately reflect the added notes, the reader goes from glossy paper of the illustrated (water colours and ink?) stories to matte paper with a great texture, plus the handwritten notes and sketches are in pencil, and the artist/author has a very fun variance in font in the notes, first scribbly, then lofty outlined capitals, and more elaborate circus poster type letters. (edited) 22h
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 Then there's the character design, where everyone is some variation of small child size allowing the reader to see the world from that perspective, without being super cutsie - the penguin doesn't really have facial expressions but an adequate range of body language, and the boy and the alien smile rarely, but to greater effect.
Will have to investigate what else my library has by Oliver Jeffers.

#weirdwordwednesday @CBee

I learned this word last week and thought about it Monday when I was walking into the heavy wind. It gave meaning to my walk. 🧘‍♀️

Word of the month: #reflect
This is getting to be cliché.
Great book for taking about bossy behavior without using the word bossy or making it gender normative.

Hey friends!! So I've been looking at my life and my upcoming schedule, and I am going to pause #RandomClassics definitely for January, and maybe longer, kind of depending. We're thinking about moving (!!!!!) plus we are going out of town in January, so there is a lot going on 😂 I still have a huge list of classics I would like to read, and I have really enjoyed reading these with you all, but for now I need to skip a month!! I'll let everyone ⬇

Librarybelle Sounds good to me! 3mo
Lcsmcat Wow, you do have a lot going on! The great thing about the classics is they‘ll be there when you‘re ready. 3mo

Cuilin #WhatTheDickens is reading Nicholas Nickleby next. We can wait until February too. 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @Cuilin - There is no telling when I will be back on track 😂 Especially if we actually move out of this house we've lived in for 10 years. Sooooo many barnacles to sort through and pack! 😆 So please don't wait for me - I may still read along in January, I just know that hosting is beyond my commitment parameters right now haha 3mo
wordslinger42 Sounds good to me! 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures That is a lot!! Hope everything goes smoothly, and just let us know when you are ready! Moving is always too much. And a break is always a great idea especially this time of year. 3mo
BarbaraJean Moving and travels is a LOT—and my January is packed as well, so I‘m happy for a pause on my side, too!! Happy to jump back in whenever you have the space to host again 😊 (edited) 3mo
