The Mildenhall Treasure | Roald Dahl, Ralph Steadman

First Roald Dahl non-fiction I ever read, and he still managed to spin some magic into it. Very short true story about finding treasure.

Such terrific stories, and David Tennants voice is perfect. I watched the movie first and the books are very different. I love all the characters especially the teenage girl Lucy who is introduced in the second book. Very fun short stories :)

This book showed me a new side of young Victorian women. 7 girls, very brilliant and slightly terrifying. Good characters, good story. Recommend for anyone who likes historical fiction and a bit of intrigue.

The Neverending Story | Michael Ende, Ralph Manheim

Simply amazing. This book has enough adventures in it for 3 books. Every time the plot seemed to come to an end and I got ready to applaud a whole new story began, making it something of a neverending story itself!
Recommend for all classic fantasy lovers.

I‘m sure I can‘t be the only adult who dreams of stumbling upon magic items in the most random ways 💛

Anyone want to rant about the new Disney Artemis Fowl trailer?

I personally CANNOT believe what they‘ve turned Artemis into. A wide-eyed child surprised and scared at every turn? Every single character seems to have been severely changed.

The link to the trailer for whoever hasn‘t seen it yet:

LibrarianRyan This trailer pissed me off so much. So so so much. And they kept refining and doing reshoots so I have no hope for this. 4y
zelmi @LibrarianRyan right! I‘ve been waiting for this. They literally could‘ve changed the names and called it a completely new story, it‘s so inaccurate. 4y

Mary Poppins | P. L. Travers

I‘m reading Mary Poppins right now, and gosh is she a dislikable sort of person! I don‘t know, but the movies make her seem a lot nicer with a couple of quirks. Hmm maybe I‘ll change my view once I‘m done with the book.
