Book from Hocus Pocus was the most iconic example I could think of of #EyesOnCover

#witch I‘m not sure if I actually plan to read this or just pour over the AMAZING illustrations before I rewatch the movie, but either way I‘m psyched I finally grabbed a library copy this year! #AutumnPlease @eggs #scarathlon #skeletoncrew @Emilymdxn

Beautifully illustrated story that makes me fall in love with the movie a little more (if that is even possible!). Highly recommend to anyone who is a fan!

One of my daughters gave me this for Christmas and I think she's been watching for when I get to it, so might as well get started

Gorgeously illustrated novelization of the movie gives you another reason to fall in love with this story all over again if you‘re already a fan or, perhaps, to watch the movie for the first time as I did. (One of those “How had I never watched this” moments.) Grimly‘s illustrations are fantastic & this fun Halloween story about a curse, a talking black cat, three witches, & young love makes for a really fun read (or read aloud).

DGRachel So…I‘m not a fan of Hocus Pocus and I keep saying Grimly‘s illustrations aren‘t a style I really like BUT I have three books he‘s done (2 Poe short story collections and Legend of Sleepy Hollow). This looks like another must have. 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️ (edited) 1y
TracyReadsBooks @DGRachel I definitely liked the novelization more than the movie—and, unsurprisingly, I really liked the illustrations. Grimly‘s work reminds me a little of Skottie Young‘s in Oz, IHF, & Fortunately, The Milk which is probably one of the reasons I like it so much. I also love it in Gaiman‘s The Dangerous Alphabet…I could go on but suffice it to say Grimly‘s art just speaks to my brain. 1y

I‘m sure I sound like a broken record but it‘s another gorgeous—sunny and 66 degrees—day perfect for reading on the patio. This weather is so unusual for November—the chance for snow this weekend is much more like it—the only thing to do is have some hot apple cider and start a new book!🌞🍎📖

Did I buy the deluxe novelization of the movie because it is illustrated by Gris Grimly? You better believe I did! I mean look at that cover. Love, love, love his art!

While this novel kind of felt like it was tripping over its feet in the beginning, it really took hold later on. I‘ve watched Hocus Pocus so many times, I was reading the novel using the voices (and songs) of the movie. Overall, I really began to enjoy it. And the illustrations? Absolutely gorgeous! I wish there were more!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#OminousOctober Day 18- Enchantment @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

The word Enchantment makes me think of Sarah's song from Hocus Pocus:

Come, little children, I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment.
Come, little children, the time's come to play,
Here in my garden of magic.

Managed to read the first book for #scarathlon and #witchathon. I loved the design of the book. Took the dust jacket off and the cover is engraved to look like the book in the opening credits of the first movie. I will total up points for it later when my brain is less foggy and has the energy to do math. #teammonstermash @StayCurious #spookoween #31by31 #pointsathon @TheSpineView @Catsandbooks @DieAReader
