Jim Henson: The Biography | Brian Jay Jones

pick

I learned so much about the brilliant Jim Henson and all of his creative ventures in this compressive and fascinating bio. What an impact he made in the TV & film industries. I even got to meet Jim and visit the incredible NYC Muppet HQ back in the day. Whenever he was starting a project, his mantra was always: “Let‘s do something to make the world a better place.” He left us too soon.😢

Jim Henson: The Biography | Brian Jay Jones

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 😊 2mo

Deblovestoread This looks fun! 2mo

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. 2mo

mrp27 Neat! 2mo

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! 🤗❤️📚 2mo

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! 2mo

UwannaPublishme @Deblovestoread @mrp27 Yes! Come join the fun! 2mo

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. 🤓 2mo

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! 2mo

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. 2mo

Amiable This was such a good book! I didn‘t realize Jim Henson had such a subversive streak. Loved it! 😀 2mo

UwannaPublishme @Amiable Oh, I‘m loving it already! 😃 2mo

Jim Henson: The Biography | Brian Jay Jones

pick

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! 3mo

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. 3mo

This was a Libby “available now” loan & WOW! I learned so much from this read. A longer listen and so worth every minute. I can‘t wait to 👀 my favourite🎞 (Labyrinth) later.

Mr. Henson was definitely way ahead of his time (thought & tv/movie technology wise) & I am deeply saddened that he never got the chance to “play” into his geriatric years🥺

DieAReader This is book 6 (2 ebooks, 3audiobooks & 1 short story) of November. Book 98/115 3y

Andrew65 A great man! 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Great job! I'll have to recommend this to my boyfriend. I think he'd really enjoy it. 3y

DieAReader @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Great idea! I learned a lot & really enjoyed it🥰 3y

Sesame Street Unpaved: Scripts, Stories, Secrets and Songs | David Borgenicht

I was going through our Dungeons & Dragons books, and this was in the mix. It's a picture history of Sesame Street. Who would play a Muppet role-playing game?? The cover evokes a Gangs of New York and Sesame Street mash-up.

Prairiegirl_reading That‘s hilarious! 4y
