Hi Readers! It will be a bit before my next book review, so I wanted to try something fun. I keep seeing memes going around with funny book displays. For example:
These gave me a good laugh, so I thought I'd try my hand at making a virtual one. Plus, it sounds more entertaining than reading peer-reviewed Human Resource journals. What I've done is thought of different display themes and found some books through Google. I'll post each display theme one at a time. Feel free to comment with books to add to that fit!
Today's display is Elf on a Shelf. (No, I'm not pushing the use of this creepy bastard or trying to get in the Christmas Spirit before my beloved Halloween.) I've realized I have not read nearly enough books with elves in them and haven't actually read any of the books below. (Yeah, I know. I'm a terrible nerd for not reading LOTR. I do not enjoy classics and couldn't get through The Hobbit.) I'll remedy my lack of elf-reading at some point. Santa's Spying Serial Killer need not apply.

The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks? *ducks from the tomatoes thrown by high fantasy snobs*
ReplyDeleteIt's not regarded as a must-read series, but I'm not a literary critic by any means. The Shannara series was actually the first fantasy series I remember reading, and while there's the usual "this is just a Lord of the Rings ripoff" complaint, I honestly enjoyed it.
I think the enjoyment factor is most important. Also, for some reason this made me start quoting Monty Python in my head. Something Something book snobs' mothers being a hamster and their fathers smelling of elderberries.
