I wasn‘t aware that the movie was loosely based on a book. I like the movie better.

My favorite part of my birthday weekend is always going to the Centenary Book Bazaar. I didn‘t find as much as I‘d hoped to this year, but I‘m excited about what I did find, especially the tagged (one of my favorite movies). The Owl Diaries are for my friend‘s library, where they need young chapter books especially and these were in great shape and all four for $3!

Tamra Happy Birthday! 🎉 7mo
ravenlee @Tamra thank you! It‘s tomorrow but I believe in celebrating as able! 7mo
ravenlee I‘ve been informed that I was mistaken and The Owl Diaries books are in fact for my kiddo. She grabbed them and ran. Good thing I hadn‘t told my friend yet! 7mo
Tamra @ravenlee my daughter loved that series - so cute 7mo

I loved the movie when I was a kid but I‘ve never read the books.

slategreyskies I‘ve never seen this movie! I‘ll have to see if my library has a copy of it and the book too! :) 3y
mrp27 @slategreyskies I don‘t know if there were any other versions than the Disney one with Angela Lansbury, but that one was my favorite. 3y

Since I‘ve been away, I don‘t think I‘ve introduced you guys to my son! This is Cosmic Creepers, or Cozzy for short, and he‘s almost 5 months old!

Some well loved books and covers

Leftcoastzen Wow,Bed-knob has a B.Dalton sticker on it .😀well loved books! 5y
LibrarianRyan You know what I love, that PT does not have a cover change. It has had the same cover forever. Most classics get new covers to entice new readers, but not PT. It has a classic cover that just works. 5y
tpixie @Leftcoastzen lol. I loved B Dalton as a kid!!! 5y

Getting a book from my shelves (The Charm Bracelet) and ran across these well worn childhood friends! Found some other books I think I‘ll let go into the wild also! #IBelieveThemBookFairies Also a bookmark from @Mommamanzi #CoverToCover

AlaMich Oh, The Phantom Tollbooth!! My wife, the first grade teacher, had never read it, so I made her a few years ago! 5y
tpixie @AlaMich awesome!! I love the play on words!! My oldest used to read it once a year! 5y
tpixie @AlaMich the inner cover had my cursive signature. So I bet it was from 4-5th grade! More decades ago that I can even imagine! 5y

tpixie @Bookzombie yes! She also wrote The Borrowers, another favorite of mine!! 5y
dragondrool I introduced the tollbooth to a handful of middle-schoolers a couple of months ago. It was my turn to pick our read-aloud. It is great fun to read out loud. 5y
tpixie @dragondrool awesome!! Yes! So glad you shared it with kids!! Whether we have weather!! 5y
tammysue 💗💗💗 5y
tpixie @whatshesreadingnow yes!!! ♥️♥️♥️ 5y

A bonus picture from yesterday to celebrate hurting 10k. Here is Corfe Castle - which you can see in the background of the landscape in the Bedknobs and broomsticks movie. The village of Corfe Castke was used as a filming location in the movie too!
