Happy new year from the top 10 cutie pies of 2024, in no real particular order.

Also, six of them being blonde girls is a coincidence, just need to tell you.

The people have spoken! Backlogbooks 2025 Bingo Challenge will include the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, and the years 2000-2019! More bingo cards under the cut, but here's how to play!

There are five cards to choose from--the first goes in order, and all the others are random. You mark off boxes by reading books that were published in that year (or decade, for those boxes). Aim for a five across bingo, get the four corners, make another cute design, or, if you're hardcore, go for a full blackout card!

The rest of your engagement is up to you! I'd love to see book photos, reviews, recommendations, and other discussion! Personally, I'm going to try to put out recommendations for books that'll fit the challenge, either by genre or by publication year, and to post about the books I'm reading. The tag for this challenge is #backlogbooks bingo challenge so I'll check that out periodically to see how people are doing!

You can also join the storygraph challenge here :-)

This has probably been reiterated and talked about before, but one of the coolest things about Finding Frankie is the fact that the player/contestant’s need and desire to survive accidentally doomed more people to die, and they know it. Like, we never see their face, but that last shot you can tell that another season means more lives being taken, and it was all because of them…

A pair of coloring book pages I made for a charity collab hosted by TommyGK's Charity Guild on Discord

Everyone entering could make up to two pages and the finished coloring books will be donated to a children's hospital

I added symbols to each character on the second page to ensure that kids could solve the connect-a-pair puzzle even if they didn't know all the characters

Also the reason why I added Dog and Robo from Robot Dreams on there is because watching that movie is what gave me the idea for that page (I highly recommend watching Robot Dreams, it's a beautiful, bittersweet movie with 0 spoken dialogue and great 2D animation)

Book 2 for 2025 book bingo! For the "Published Before 1950" square (so many options! I love to read older books!) I selected the original "The Adventures of Pinocchio" (1883), translated by Carol Della Chiesa in 1926.

All I knew about this book was that it was different from the Disney movie, and that instead of the wise and friendly Jiminy Cricket as Pinocchio's conscience, there's a talking cricket that tries to advise Pinocchio until Pinocchio smashes him to death with a hammer. (I think Stephen King mentioned this in something of his--maybe "Danse Macabre"?). So I wasn't really at risk of tonal whiplash.

As promised, this is a pretty dark story--Pinocchio is mostly a pure chaos agent, kind of like Curious George except with violence and death, plus always someone looking to trick/prey on/take advantage of you. The narrator delivers morals, but for most of the book they come across (to me, at least, in translation and from my different historical context) as brightly tongue-in-cheek, since once a moral gets set out, Pinocchio generally smashes right through it. He's not malicious per se, but he is entirely impulsive and only does what he wants to do, and then cries about it afterward in self-pity once he has Fucked Around And Found Out. Then he gets rescued somehow, and heads back into the FAFO cycle.

I enjoyed the Fox-and-Cat sections, because of the difference between what Pinocchio knows, how the narrator describes things, and what we as readers (if we can get the hang of unreliable narration) know. They're con artists, they have unacknowledged cover stories and nefarious plans, while Pinocchio (and the narrative) is taking them entirely at their word. I can't remember when I first learned to navigate narrative unreliability in my own childhood reading, but I definitely came to love that feeling.

The last section of the book feels different--the stated morals start feeling more serious, and Pinocchio starts doing kind and positive things without being forced to. That means the sense of humor changes too--it kind of filters away, as does the sharp irony and the layers of unreliability. And a few earlier events get softened--like, the Talking Cricket reappears toward the end of the book without any explanation, scolds Pinocchio for the hammer thing, delivers a sententious moral, and Pinocchio apologizes and agrees with him. Definitely different than the Pinocchio of the earlier sections. (Although interestingly, Pinocchio may have Plot Armor, but even once the book has gentled a bit, other characters still die--like, Lamp-Wick, someone who convinced Pinocchio to misbehave, doesn't get rescued from being turned into a donkey the way Pinocchio was rescued. He's bought and then worked to death, and dies in a sad on-page scene.)

I read more about the book afterward and found out it was originally a magazine serial, so it all makes perfect sense, the episodic nature and the tone change and whatnot. Wikipedia also said that the serial originally ended fairly early on, when Pinocchio is punished by being hanged by the neck from a tree and dies (whereas in the book he's hanged and almost dies but is rescued). (Man, my childhood books were never like this.)

It really benefited Collodi to start up again with a fixit, given how popular the happy-ending book version became all over the world. It's hard to imagine a dead-at-the-end version becoming as beloved in places like the U.S.--at least in my sense of children's literature at that time, it wouldn't have much room for such a pitch-black tone.
