⚔️ A Classic Tale of True Love & High Adventure ⚔️

I read this once when I was a teenager. I forgot about the Zoo of Death, but other than that this was a fun, enjoyable reread. This illustrated deluxe edition also features some lovely artwork.

Attended the #DSO concert on 2/15/23 with Sir Knight and a couple friends (@WonderingGypsy ) They played the score while the movie played above them! And excellent way to celebrate Valentine‘s Day!!! ❤️

From the sublime (my grandparents' marriage certificate from 1910) to the ridiculous: a hilarious quote from The Princess Bride:

Mawage is wot bwings us together today. Mawage, that blessed awangement, that dweam wifin a dweam. And wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva. So tweasure your wuv.

1. So many! Including “inconceivable!”, “This must be Thursday. I could never get hang of a Thursdays.”, “Beware of Doors”, “people being fundamentally people”

2. “Well that didn‘t go as planned.” 😆

Thanks for the tag Lisa!

So. Much. Nostalgia! I loved every minute of this book. It didn't really add to the movie or give any details we didn't already know. I enjoyed the humor and often found myself laughing out loud. It made me love the movie even more! Very lighthearted! This book was something I could sink into after a long day, escape into, and laugh along the way. It is definitely worth the read, especially if you loved the movie

Always loved and a fun book to share with Beatrix on our commutes. I had forgotten how closely the film stuck to the text - most of the dialogue is lifted straight from Goldman. A gem of a story and film.

Good morning everybody!

35 years ago today, a movie you may or may not have heard of came out in theaters. In honor of this day, please let me know your favorite quote from this fabulously amazing movie or the book, I am not picky!!

Here are mine:
Movie: As You Wish (anyone surprised?!?!)
Book: Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches. (Westley has a way with the words, does he not?!?!)

I have a cupboard full of coffee cups, but I want this one!

So romantic! 😂 #Reread #BookClub

September 4 #IndelibleMoments Marriage 💑 This has the be the best movie ever. It is one of the movies I can watch over and over again. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

I liked the book, though I will say, I didn't expect the movie adaptation to be as faithful to the book as it was. That meant I enjoyed it, but also made me a little sad that there wasn't much more to the book than what happened in the movie. I plainly skipped the "foreword" and whole "abridged" extra sections at the end, because they felt boring and didn't add anything to my experience. I would still recommend the book, but only the main parts.

I first read this when I was too young to really appreciate its depth, but I still enjoyed it. I read it again as an adult and was blown away to realize all that I had missed. The movie is a cult favorite, but the book is a masterpiece: humor, satire, adventure, drama, action, and romance!

I am SO FREAKING THRILLED with how our Princess Bride cover turned out! We gave our artist few free reign and once again she delivered!

We'll be at Motor City Comic Con in Detroit this weekend, so stop by if you're attending.

Finished reading this one with my oldest. Never read it before but love the movie. Son loved it too.

Known as the most haunted place in Alabama, Fort Morgan is not truly a #dungeon, but it did put me in mind of the Pit of Despair. Fortunately, Wesltey was rescued and Miracle Max had the cure. #SavvySettings @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

Finished this one up last night. I'd say it's long overdue, but better late than never. A fun listen with Rob Reiner reading it.

Day 111.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

So not feeling like anything but this . 😀

Hmm, I don't get my latest Goodreads recommendation. 😆🤔

"Don't think, just read it. You'll thank me later", that was the first review I saw on goodreads about this book. Obviously, I didn't 'just' read it, in fact it's been on my tbr for months. But now that I've finally read it, all I can think of saying is this: Don't think, just read it.??

You're doing great.

1. Tagged. Really, this movie is just about as perfect as can be. An adaptation of a book where a storybook is the focus. ❤️

2. No, because Hollywood usually screws it up. I‘d rather just read the book.

Ughhh I‘m not enjoying this, the more I read , the less I like it; I got most of the way through it and just decided life is too short; I think it‘s different than the movie, I don‘t like how the characters are portrayed, especially buttercup.. so off I go to another book.. so long to this one

Pictured in front of The Cliffs of Insanity. Read for my f2f bookclub. Always a fun read.

4✨ I absolutely love the movie. When I found out it was a book before the movie I had to get it. Reading it was difficult because there is a lot of backstory. Not that the backstory is bad, but it does take away from the characters journey making them just that characters. These add ins increase the experience, but I found myself putting down the book more because of them.

Ummm yeah… that would have been my first response too… 🤔😬😅

You‘ve seen the movie, now read the book. Every bit as enjoyable as the film. Goldman draws you in so masterfully that you find yourself asking if he his writing the story himself or summarizing a much longer story written by S. Morgenstern. Either way, book is in turn funny, scary, romantic, heroic and dramatic.

Look what I stumbled across ~ first trip to my favorite bookstore today since COVID! This is one of the books I got!! 😃😃😃

Had to share it! 🤣 #LitsyHumor

For my fellow introverts….if you need help speaking. 😂

Love this sticker from Redbubble. I really should re-read the book.❤

The very cool magnet I was gifted from a friend! And the perfect card. Lol

Watch the movie.

Yea, that's all I gotta say.

Such a wonderful read that the movie almost got perfect but still a much better world than a movie could ever capture

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 112.
