TheIntrovertedDodoBird
Strangers | Taichi Yamada
post image

1: Strangers/All of Us Strangers - my all-time favourite film, which is one of the few I can say, without experiencing that niggling book-blasphemy feeling, is better than the book.
2: Stardust - I loved the book so much, but the film has a totally different vibe, which I preferred.
3: Good Omens - technically not a film in this case, but an incredible series that is far superior to the book, I think.
(Couldn't screenshot, so had to improvise).

TheKidUpstairs The first time I watched Stardust, I watched it twice back-to-back. I love that movie so much! 3w
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @TheKidUpstairs Oh, I love that. It's incredible. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it now. The cast was brilliant! Watching films back-to-back is a favourite pass-time of mine. I love the comfort in the predictability of it. 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures Poor Gaiman, the movies are just so good! 3w

Jinkies, gang! It‘s time for some spooky mysteries! If you‘ve only ever read E. Nesbit‘s stories for children then you are missing out. She wrote some amazing gothic ghost tales that keep the chills coming. Perfect for a chilly evening by the fire or on a Sunday while the holiday dinner is in the oven.

Gissy Love that mug😍 3w
Clare-Dragonfly Wow, I had no idea! I‘ll have to look for them! 3w
SW-T That mug is awesome! 2w

What the hell did I just read? 😂
I think I would need to read this book again more carefully to form an opinion on it. It's an interesting story which leaves the reader with more questions than answers. Its vagueness adds to the creepiness of this unusual ghost story, but I'm not sure how I feel about it...

My third book by the author. His books are creepy, around 200 pgs usually, and easy to read. I also watched the movie with Kevin Bacon. 4⭐

LeahBergen That movie freaked me out! 😆 1mo
AnnCrystal 👏This movie was incredibly creepy and absolutely good, still one of our all time favorites 🤩👍.

Actually, I have this book but was afraid it might mess with my opinion about the movie...I should give it a try (maybe for Halloween).

Books I read recently.
My favorite was Strangers. Set in Tokyo , a recently divorced screenwriter has moved into his studio workplace to live. Immediately atmospheric. Suggestive , thoughtful, a short book and every word is numbered 👌🏻. I loved this one.

North Woods was a beautiful book to read.

Christ on a Bike I enjoyed, but didn‘t love it.

Writing Retreat , ok till 2d half. Then quickly a bail.

batsy Haven't heard of Strangers! Sounds good, adding to the list 👍🏾 2mo

March #Bookspin and #Doublespin! ☘️🏀🌼🇮🇪⛹️‍♂️🌷⚾️

Between St. Patty‘s Day, Spring Break, March Madness, Spring Training, and Spring Break (I REALLY love Spring Break), March might be my favorite month (aside from October, of course).

I didn‘t finish a single book in February, but hopefully a whole week off will help me get back on track.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Enjoy!! 2mo

#LitsyLoveCrafters @Catsandbooks I have been busy doing glass painting. I am so proud of the vases and oil bottles I've done. I put lights in the bottle with sunflowers on it. It looks so cool In the dark.
