Not with the ones I have. Theyre surplus from when my friend had them for her son. My dogs just won't step on it or allow me to take their paw to press on it

I have some, you nor your pet ever touches the ink, it's a really neat system. I haven't had success getting my dogs' prints yet.

I loved these books. My friend recommended them to me a few years ago. I read all three in a week, I just couldn't put them down.

I am excited for the Apple TV+ show too, I really hope they do a good job with it.

And here I was seeing it on my shelf and wondering if I should reread it..

If you didn't care for it, just toss it.

But I'm a believer in the quote by Wilde: “There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

Surprisingly, no. The glue used to hold the book together isn't recyclable, so many times they just get put in the trash anyway.

I read it when I was 15, and my mom was appalled. Little did she know I read Carrie when I was 13. But yeah, definitely not a great gift idea unless there a bit older and/or you know the person well.

She has such a sweet face, give her some pets from me please!

What's the cutie's name?

I love Maguire.

And for sure! My brain like hiccupped. I don't normally make connections like that, and I momentarily thought I had made the other story up or something, was a weird feeling.

Experienced this recently, twice. I read a retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher (book is What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher) a couple weeks ago. After that I read my next book, The Fisherman by John Langan, and they had similar vibes, though completely different overall, but they both had supernatural elements and dealing with losing loved ones. And i thought there was an interesting similarity between the two. I don't want to give too much away, because they're both great books and I don't want to spoil anything.

Another time, happened a couple days ago. I'm currently reading two books: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher; and What-the-Dickens by Gregory Maguire. I had just gotten to a part in What-the-Dickens about a being (fairy thing of some sort) finding themselves in a tin can, and it's attacked by a cat, its a whole thing.. Then when I went to read my other book later that day tin cans were also mentioned. It was just random, but I thought it funny that in two totally unrelated stories, read on the same day, each would feature a bit about tin cans.

Absolutely adults can live in books. I started a series a few months ago and when I read it, I'm fully in. To the point where my dreams will feature elements from the books. I can't really read any other way. And books I don't fall into fully I tend not to enjoy and sometimes stop reading them.
