Tyler’s Comments (group member since Nov 18, 2018)

Tyler’s comments from the Creatures, Creatures Everywhere! group.

I've only read the first chapter and i'm already annoyed. page 5 "Mr. Micklas was small and dapper but had fingers missing from both hands, which made shaking hands an embarrassment, though not apparently for him." Why should it be an embarrasment?

I have 9 fingers (which is only 1 less than 10 and it says fingers in his case). I was born with a hypoplastic left thumb and had pollicization surgery when I was 2 which took the useless left thumb off and put my left index finger-which still looks exactly like my right index finger if put side by side-in it's place. So my left thumb, now, was originally my index finger. I love my hand. It works just fine.

Anyway in just the first chapter it goes on several times about his missing fingers in the weirdest way. Like...so he doesn't have 10 fingers? So what? And then page 12 "Rosemary sipped her drink, keeping her left hand all-fingers-crossed under the table." Is that really necessary? Unless specified otherwise I think it's assumed people have 10 fingers. Like...I get it...you dislike less than 10 fingers man...move on.

Sorry. That's just irritating me.

I plan on starting it in the next day or so. And since I haven't seen the movie i'll be going in without knowing a thing. :)

I'll probably start it next week. Currently doing a read moar comics readathon :) But I won't start it any later than next week. Looking forward to it as well :)

Glad you loved it! I haven't seen the movie either so I have no idea what to expect.

lol!

Welcome Rita :)

I apologize too for not checking them out better to make sure they fit the theme. We can always have another fae month though, and buddy reads.

I haven't seen the movie myself. I should probably do that too. If you want to discuss the movie you can. We have a TV & Movies folder here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... :) Of course it would work here too.

In The Woods by Tana French has won September's group read! This is the thread to discuss In The Woods in September.

Please use spoiler tags and chapter/page numbers when talking about the book.

I'm not either. I can't do a 24 hour readathon plus I don't participate in many readathons, though I am in the middle of one right now. The Reading Rush https://thereadingrush.com/ which used to be known as BooktubeAThon.

Welcome Lisa!

We do now :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Welcome Vickie!

I can't seem to find any information about fairies in it, i'm sorry :(. Now I wish i'd read it already so I could say for sure.

I'll leave it open until tomorrow night sometime, so if anyone has anymore nominations, get them in! :)

I had no idea Hannahwhere had fairies. I have it though haven't read it yet.

All of them sound good though!

I loved Rocko's Modern Life too. And Rocket Power, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers...so many nick toons lol. Nickelodeon was my childhood.

Libby is apparently made by overdrive, or the same people. I think they are basically the same thing.

I've watched one movie from Hoopla "The Wild Thornberrys Movie" from 2002 (came out when I was 13) as the wild thornberrys was among my favorite childhood shows! I still love it. :)

And have so far read one book from Hoopla- Book love by Debbie Tung.

I also borrowed 2 poetry books. The Popular Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur and one I haven't heard of, some disability poetry (and being disabled myself I had to get it!) Bent at the Spine by Nicole Markotic. Just got a library card and already using it :)

I think me and my library card are going to go on adventures!
