Tales from Childhood Bookworms

Choose Your Own Adventure Books

We are talking about a specific type of book this episode, though we only read one the many in the series. We are skipping pages and trying out multiple endings in the Choose Your Own Adventure genre through War With the Mutant Spider Ants by Edward Packard.  Note: No co-hosts or spiders were harmed in this episode.    Music: Fly Faster Chicken by Alexander Nakarada | //www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by //www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) //creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

This month we are enjoying a delicacy of a book, with How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell.

The Nutcracker

We hope everyone had a happy holiday season! This episode is a bit delayed, we were both down with illness and then holidays. But we are ending (and beginning!) the year with one of Marie's favorite books, The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman. This is the oldest book we've read so far, and even if you think you know the story you probably have never read the original. Join us as we battle mice and possibly journey to Narnia!   Music: Fly Faster Chicken by Alexander Nakarada | //www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by //www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) //creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
