Wordy Words on WordsI like comics, I like pugs. This was a must-buy at the used bookshop.<br> <br> That said, I’m sure thinking about moving to New Zealand to go to university and I’ll need to pay to ship all my stuff so now I’m looking at my books with a critical eye.<br> <br> How many of these things do I want to pay a LOT (probably) to ship to the other side of the planet just so I can try to jam them into a tiny (affordable) apartment?<br> <br> How much do I want to pay weekly (they do rent by the week there) to let my books live with me?<br> <br> It’s not only made me critical of the books I’ve read but also the books I HAVEN’T read. My TBR is looking less like a wine cellar waiting for me to be in just the right mood to dip into a book and more like a serious gamble as to whether it’s worth paying for the trip/real estate.<br> <br> Anyway, I don’t think this one’s going to make the cut. It’s cute, but I don’t see me re-reading it often enough to bring it with me everywhere.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookrecommendation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookrecommendation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booktok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booktok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagrammer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagrammer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booksky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booksky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readersofpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readersofpixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/read?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#read</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readinglog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readinglog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/newzealand?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#newzealand</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/moving?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#moving</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tbr?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tbr</a>
Wordy Words on WordsOh boy. Ohboyohboyohboyohboy, did I love this book!<br> <br> I think this is in my top 5 King books. It sums up everything (but horror) that makes King such a great author. You can relate to the characters, there’s a heavy sense of nostalgia, there’s crime (though I will admit that the amount of crime made me wonder why this was a Hard Case book), and it’s a big slice of life book.<br> <br> It’s charming.<br> <br> Yeah, that’s the word: charming.<br> <br> It’s about a college boy who gets a summer job at an amusement park where there may or may not be a ghost but there was DEFINITELY a disappearance/death.<br> <br> My only critique is that King’s mysteries aren’t so much “mysteries” in the traditional sense where the reader is given enough clues to figure it out on their own. Usually King’s involves a character looking at something and realizing SOMETHING doesn’t seem right but they just can’t put their finger on it until… oh my god, they figured it out. But you, the reader, are not given the clues. You’re one step away from the protagonist and you can’t read his mind.<br> <br> Which is kind of strange since King’s known for conveying inner thoughts.<br> <br> Anyhoo, I’d say I don’t like that delivery of a mystery if King didn’t make his books so entertaining.<br> <br> To be clear: I don’t go to King for Christie stories. I go to King for King stories.<br> <br> And I REALLY like this older King style of storytelling. It’s more conversational and way more… I don’t know… intimate? It feels like I’m a kid at the foot of my grandfather’s rocking chair next to the fire rapt in the yarn that he’s spinning and that makes King unique and special in my book.<br> <br> Also, I think this is a PERFECT book to loan to someone who is uninitiated. At this point people will say they haven’t read him because his books are long or they don’t like horror. Neither is a factor here.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookrecommendation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookrecommendation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booktok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booktok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagrammer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagrammer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booksky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booksky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readersofpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readersofpixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/read?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#read</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readinglog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readinglog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stephenking?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stephenking</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/joyland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#joyland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stephenkingbook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stephenkingbook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hardcasebook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hardcasebook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crimebook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crimebook</a>
Wordy Words on WordsI like baseball so this might be a bit biased.<br> <br> I do NOT like baseball so much that I thought King’s “Faithful” was an exciting read, but I do like baseball and a common critique I hear about this story is that it’s boring because it focuses on, well, baseball.<br> <br> But I love it. This is a novella written as an interview transcript. The interviewee, a character talking to King himself, is giving his memories on a player called Blockade Billy. It documents their season and ends about how you would expect a Stephen King story to end.<br> <br> This isn’t the first time King has done stories written as transcripts (Dolores Claiborne was a whole NOVEL written as one) but I could see how it would throw some people off.<br> <br> Look: I get why people might not like this story.<br> <br> It’s short, it’s not horror in King’s traditional sense, it’s a transcript, and it’s about baseball.<br> <br> But I think it’s great. It reminded me of those 1990s Disney sports movies, documenting the dramatic rise of the underdog to a big ending (though the endings are quite different) and I thought it was very exciting. It felt weird to get this nostalgic hit for DISNEY movies while reading KING but it happened.<br> <br> Also, if you’re struggling with the transcript angle of the story (same for Dolores), I recommend checking your favorite audiobook sources for it because the narrator is very good and gives the transcript a lot of life and drama.<br> <br> I think this is easily one of King’s hidden gems.

Sophia Basaldua-SunLes Miserables, by Victor Hugo, is a 1400 page novel that defies description. Originally published in serial form, I read the Everyman’s edition, which described it as the story of Jean Valjean, and insofar as his story anchors the narrative throughout, that is an accurate description.<br> <br> But the novel is really epic in proportion, weaving many characters lives together while trying to capture the moment of revolution and the lead up to it.<br> <br> It is a deep reflection on society and humanity, starting from a reflection on the impact that those who act selflessly can have on the community around them, the corrupting rather than reformative power of the modern carceral system, how a cruel society creates the very people it identifies as aberrations.<br> <br> While its digressions can at times become tedious, the narrative overall is captivating, propulsive, and in terms of its social commentary, remains deeply relevant to our society today. Perhaps because, despite our striving, we remain in the modern era that Hugo wrote about.<br> <br> I’ll be spending the next two months on this momentous novel. Come along if you like.<br> <br> QOTD: Have you read Les Miserables?<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/worldliterature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#worldliterature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Frenchliterature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Frenchliterature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cozyread?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cozyread</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/VictorHugo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VictorHugo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/currentread?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#currentread</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/whatimreading?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#whatimreading</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bibliophile?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bibliophile</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/classicnovel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#classicnovel</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/classicliterature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#classicliterature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/comparativeliterature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#comparativeliterature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/complit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#complit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/comparativelit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#comparativelit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/classicbookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#classicbookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lesmiserables?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lesmiserables</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booklover?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booklover</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/theleveragedphd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theleveragedphd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagrammer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagrammer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pleasureread?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pleasureread</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/studyinspo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#studyinspo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booksbooksbooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booksbooksbooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookflatlay?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookflatlay</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/classicscommunity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#classicscommunity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bibliophile?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bibliophile</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bigbooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bigbooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/academicaesthetic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#academicaesthetic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/grayacademia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#grayacademia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/darkacademia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkacademia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/academiaaesthetic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#academiaaesthetic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cozyaesthetic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cozyaesthetic</a>
Wordy Words on WordsI won’t lie: I rolled my eyes at the cover, but this is actually one of the better ones in the series (which is nice since we’re so deep in it at this point). The premise is that the daughter of a ride designer and her best friend get to go on a tour of a new ride that focuses on the Shock Street horror movies. <br> <br> And it goes horribly wrong (as you could guess).<br> <br> There was a clever misdirect in the beginning where the daughter asks if they should take her mother on the ride as well and the dad says something like “excuse me, young lady?” Like she did something wrong.<br> <br> “The mom must be dead,” I thought. Then everything after that was based around that until the best friend keeps harping on the fact that all these monsters must be robots because the girl’s dad is so great at making them. Then the friend pulled the girl out of a mud pit with strong arms and I thought “he’s a robot!”<br> <br> “A robot that was made to be the girl’s best friend after her mom died!”<br> <br> But I was wrong. Well. Partially wrong. Both kids were robots. The reason it was suspicious when she asked about her mom is that she didn’t have a mother.<br> <br> I’ll admit it: I was fooled.<br> <br> When you sit back and think about it, it IS weird that the trial run of the ride to see if it’s the right level of scary was done with two robot kids because… they’re robots. What real data are they going to give? Also, don’t robots famously not have emotions?<br> <br> I also wonder why the robots were allowed to live lives that were at LEAST normal enough that they went to movie theaters and watched movies. Or were the memories false the whole time?<br> <br> I 👏🏼 have 👏🏼 ques 👏🏼 tions. 👏🏼<br> <br> Still.

Wordy Words on WordsI knew a guy who used to compete in swimming with Michael Phelps. I can’t remember if it was in high school or college, but yeah: competed against the actual Michael Phelps.<br> <br> I asked him if Phelps was a nice guy and he laughed before saying no, he absolutely wasn’t.<br> <br> “But he can’t be nice. He doesn’t have time to learn social niceties or how to be in a group. His entire life is built around being the best swimmer in the world.”<br> <br> I think about this pretty often - especially when I hear stories about people who achieve fantastic things are actually jerks.<br> <br> Anyway, here’s Ben Folds and, I’m just gonna say it: he’s a jerk.<br> <br> But at least he’s self aware enough to own it, to say that he may have made bad choices but you, the reader, could see the logic. He constantly put his career in front of anything that could possibly distract him from it and, yeah, he did get the success he was after, but he recognizes there were costs along the way.<br> <br> For one thing, his romantic past is rocky at best. For another, John Mayer started following him around as a big fan and that one might be the worst cost of them all.<br> <br> That dude gives me more creeps than any musician I’ve ever heard/seen/read about.<br> <br> Folds seems to like him though.<br> <br> Red flag.<br> <br> Anyway, as a guitarist, it’s always fun to read stories about musicians climbing their way little by little toward success and, if you’re also into that, you should check this out. Folds approaches his past with a clinical objectivity that you don’t see in many autobiographies.<br> <br> “This is what happened, this was my logic that got me there, and this was the emotional fallout and repercussions.”<br> <br> I liked the approach quite a bit.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagrammer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagrammer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readersofpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readersofpixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readerofpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readerofpixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/book?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#book</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/read?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#read</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readbooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readbooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readinglog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readinglog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/benfolds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#benfolds</a>

Today, my youngest two kids turn 10. Which is a huge number. I am now a parent of two 10 year olds and two teenagers...it's a bit wild.

That said, in honor of this big day, I decided to post up a book my wife got for me this year for Father's Day - "There are Dads Way Worse Than You."

The book goes through a bunch of fictional Dads who just...are awful with cute rhymes by Glenn Boozan on each page. The art from Priscilla Witte is simple, but so funny getting right to the point with some biting images of each, terrible Dad.

It's very funny and not exactly appropriate for kids, but was so cute. I am so thankful for this book!

Also, I am very thankful for all four of my kids who made me a Dad in the first place.

Hope you have a great one!
