My all-time favorite book. I chose this as my entry for #themummy. I compared the ancient text in the book coming to life to an ancient ruler coming to life, like a mummy 🤷🏻‍♀️.

MinDea I have been looking for a copy of this book! My first English word comes from this movie (Rockbiter). I hope to find a nice edition one day! 6y
mydearwatson @MinDea, that's so cool! I have a really neat hardcover version where the text is red and green (I think it's mentioned in the book that the text of Bastian's copy is green). 6y
MinDea What!? That sounds like an awesome edition! 6y

mydearwatson I'll try and get a picture in a bit and tag you! 6y
LibrarianRyan I miss my copy. I had an old (er) original copy with full color illustrations and the red/green print. It was damaged beyond repair when the basement flooded. One day I shall find a replacement. 6y
mydearwatson Oh no! I'm sorry :-(. 6y
mydearwatson And full color? I would certainly buy a third copy for that :-). 6y

#monstermadness2017 I think Scarlett O'Hara could qualify for today's challenge. She is a lover, lonely (IMO and it's her own fault), melodramatic (Absolutely!), and possessive (Yep!). #themummy

LibrarianRyan 👍🏻🤓👻 love this. 6y

Lover. Lonely. Melodramatic. Possessive. Anna Karenina fits the bill perfectly.

Ash.on.the.line For one split second while scrolling I thought it was Scarlet OHara 😅😂 6y
WarpedSweetness @Ash.on.the.line Close!! Same actress played both Scarlett O'Hara and Anna Karenina. 6y

I am going with Miss Havisham for #themummy as my first choice of Heathclifff has been taken. After having her heartbroken she mummified herself and manipulated Pip and Estella in her ill conceived quest for revenge. #monstermadness2017

LibrarianRyan Nice!!👍🏻🤓👻 6y
batsy Yes, perfect! 6y

Well, my first idea was HH from Lolita (I was so proud to have thought of it 😂) but @Kalalalatja already thought of that one so here's another go: Jay Gatsby! There are a lot of possessive lovers out there, but it's harder to find one who has lost a lover and is trying to get them back. Othello has a nice rage going for him, but that's more a jealousy thing than what the Mummy has going. #themummy #monstermadness2017

Natasha.C.Barnes P.S. I wasn't sure if there was a book character mummy I didn't know about? 6y
LibrarianRyan I went looking for a specific Mummy book, but the movie came first. Nice pick. 👍🤓👻 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @LibrarianRyan I read the 1932 movie was based on a short story? But I couldn't really find the info on that. But that's something! 😆 6y
Kalalalatja I apologize in advance for any future ideas I might get to first 😄 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Kalalalatja Hahaha I'll be keeping an eye on you! 😉 6y

#MonsterMadness2017 #day3 #TheMummy Lover. ✔️Check. Lonely.✔️Check. Melodramatic.✔️Check. Possessive.✔️Check. Heathcliff fits the Mummy's characteristics perfectly, he lost his love, so of course he proceeded to make the world burn. As far as he was concerned, if he couldn't have what he wanted (you can't say happy coz I don't think he had that capacity at all) then everyone else had to be as miserable & despairing as him. Lovely guy!👍

There are many #fablesandfolklore about mummies, but I wish Anne Rice would write a sequel to this one. And I think Ramses with and without his "wrapping" qualifies for #twofacedtuesday #themummy #uncannyoctober #spookyoctober #monstermadness2017 #multitasking

LibrarianRyan 👍🏻👻 6y
OrangeMooseReads There is a sequel coming out this year she wrote it with her son Christopher it‘s Ramses and Cleopatra. I can never remember the actual title though. 6y
OrangeMooseReads @rubyslippersreads yeah that‘s it LOL I‘m excited for it too 6y

A melodramatic, possessive lover you say? A man who causes others pain? I give you: Humbert Humbert! I have just one thing to say to H.H. #yougiveloveabadname mister! #themummy

Reviewsbylola LOVE that edition. 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes Damn!! You snagged my choice! This is why I try to get to this one in the morning! 😂 Great connection, if I do say so myself. 6y
LibrarianRyan 👍🏻👻🤓 6y
Kalalalatja @BarbaraBB @MrsMalaprop I weren't a huge fan. I think I was too creeped out to really enjoy it 😄 6y
Kalalalatja @Billypar @Reviewsbylola the best part is, I found it used for $1, and it had never been read before! 👏 6y
Kalalalatja @Natasha.C.Barnes haha, that's the advantage of living in an earlier time zone 😄😄 but great minds think a like 👏👏 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Kalalalatja Yeah I was literally going to bed when I saw your post. 😂 #westcoastproblems 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes Ugh, I can't even just use west coast, that's so americentric. I love how international Litsy is but it can get confusing sometimes! 😄 6y
Kalalalatja @Natasha.C.Barnes I know what you mean! When I started using Litsy, I mostly followed Americans, so there would be so many new posts to go through when I woke up, but not a lot during the day (for me). So I really love the international mix we have going on 😄 6y
Centique This is me too @Kalalalatja #timezoneproblems I‘m reading all the things that happened overnight now! 6y
