What is it About?
A strange tale with various stories (this book holds the whole series) from those that Weezie Bat loves including her daugther Witch Baby, and her gay friend

My Thoughts:

With this series I was hoping for more fantasy. While there is some there is also a piece of reality fitting into the story. The world of Weezie Bat is kinda of gritty and reminds of reading a Poppy Z. Brite book but less graphic.  I thought because looking at covers there was fairies in the book and there are not fantasy fairies..   I wish there was more about Weezie’s daughterl, Witch Baby.  I felt I was itching to know more about her witch or djinn power.

Theme Thursday - Numbers - Infinite and Three

Theme Thursdays is a fun weekly event that will be open from one thursday to the next. Anyone can participate in it. The rules are simple:

• A theme will be posted each week (on Thursday’s)
• Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you are reading
• Mention the author and the title of the book along with your post
• It is important that the theme is conveyed in the sentence (you don’t necessarily need to have the word)
  Ex: If the theme is KISS; your sentence can have “They kissed so gently” or “Their lips touched each other” or “The smooch was so passionate”

This will give us a wonderful opportunity to explore and understand different writing styles and descriptive approaches adopted by authors.

This week’s theme is

NUMBERS

 

"Okay," Weetzie said. "Then I wish for an infinite number of wishes!" As a kid she had vowed to wish for wishes if she ever encountered a genie or a fairy or one of those things. Those people in fairy tales never thought of that.

"People in fairy tales wish for that all the time." the genie said. "They aren't stupid. It just isn't in the records because I can't grant that type of wish."

"Well," Wetzie said, a little perturbed, "if this is my trip I think at least you could say I could have one of these wishes come true!"

"You get three wishes," the genie said.

"I wish for a Duck for Dirk, and My Secret Agent Lover Man for me, and a beautiful little house for us to live in happily ever after."

"Your wishes are granted. Mostly,"said the genie..."

Good so far having hard time because these characters are already made visual because of the show.  You would think that makes it easier but for my brain, no...
