Hour 7 – With Her Nose Stuck in a Book
Oct 13th 2012Dewey ReadathonOctober 2012 & readathon
My, how the time has flown! This is my final hour as your co-host. I’ll be around on Facebook and Twitter and then I’ll hand off to Shesten. Happy reading everyone!
In our trip down memory lane we’re going to skip the late 70′s and all of the 80′s. The disco craze began while I was in high school and we really don’t need to revisit that! :) So we move on to 1991. Madonna? Scorpion? D.J. Jazzy Jeff? No – Belle! I spent the 90′s raising kids – and watching Beauty and the Beast repeatedly. So, as far as I’m concerned, this is the soundtrack of the 90′s:

The book is: The tube riders, C. Ward
The
Hell
Ends
There, where you decide you are not
Unable, you are not weak, you are not
Broken, tired, dead.
Even when they hunt you,
Ride you, scare you,
Island of Mega Britain will hear your voice,
Dead will cheer your life, whispers and sighs
Echoing trough the tunnels.
Ride will take you further, to where
Sun can rise again.

Buried In Printon 13 Oct 2012 at 2:34 pm 16I was working in a shop during those years and we used to have to run the Disney movies on a loop, so for a time I knew every single word of each, but then it would be replaced by the next. I remember dreaming with the songs from the soundtrack appearing randomly in my dreams!
Thanks for being a host: enjoy the rest of your read-a-thon-ing!
tamion 13 Oct 2012 at 2:36 pm 17Les – I still love Home Alone and watch it several times each Christmas.
jen @ thebookienookon 13 Oct 2012 at 2:52 pm 18This is one of my favorite movies EVER. I grew up in the 90′s… can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this!
Courtneyon 13 Oct 2012 at 2:56 pm 19Love this movie and most of the Disney films….I was a Disney kid and can sing almost every song to every movie including this one! Love the choice. “With a dreamy far off look and her nose stuck in a book!”
