Why is this one of the greatest families ever? Because they made ours look normal.
To the actors and actresses who made strange families fun: This one’s for you!
I saw this tag over @ gemsbooknook and knew I’d have to do it.
It’s the Addam’s family.. of course I would.
Fun fact: Wednesday is my spirit animal.
(But only if she’s Christina Ricci)

Am I the only one who gets to questions like this and, immediately, end up with a ridiculous number of options.. then you whittle it down and still end up with something along the lines of:
Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, The Secret Garden, Alice in Wonderland, Stardust, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, The Shining, Chronicles of Narnia..
You know how it is. We all do.. there are these insane (and incredible) lists for everything.
And had the question been ‘least favorite’, it’s a fact of life that, there would be an equally long list for that.

I hope you enjoyed this tag!
What was your favorite Addams Family character?
I’m particularly fond of Wednesday.
I have watched The Adams Family but its been quite a while I have to watch it again 😁 By the way I really loved sleepy hollow. Its one of my all time favorite 😀
It has been a while for me, too, this tag has actually made me all nostalgic and now I want to rewatch it, too. 🤭
And did you like the book or movie more? Because, I have to say, they couldn’t have picked anyone better than Johnny Depp for that role.
I am someone who usually prefer books more and creat the stories in my imagination but in this case I have to say I like it both equally haha… And yeah you are right they really coyldn’t have picked anyone better than Jonny Depp.
That’s exactly what I love about the books, too, using your imagination to make the story come alive.. But I agree that these are equally enjoyable! 💕
But as of others the joy in reading and using your imagination can never match with movies 😀
Our minds are capable of so much.. why would we trade mystery and magic for not even the real thing? 🤔
You said it 👌👍😁
Have a beautiful weekend! 🌷☺
Have a beutiful.weekend you too 🙂
Thank you, I hope so!
This is such a fun tag! I absolutely love The Addams Family and Wednesday is so my spirit animal too!
Lol, isn’t it awesome? So happy to meet another Wednesday fan!
I really need to read Bishop’s Black Jewel series. It’s been on my TBR forever now. Fun tag!
I highly recommend it but, forewarning, there are some pretty dark parts but.. it’s an intensely addictive series. I hope you enjoy if you get a chance to read it!
Thanks for the heads up! I loved Bishop’s Others series, so I’ve been looking forward to it.
Any time.. she’s one of my favorite authors! ☺
I hope you enjoy them!
Fun fact Sheri – I just had The Addams Family theme song in my head the whole time I read The Family Plot by Megan Collins so I had a good chuckle when I saw this tag.🤣
That’s so weird! It’s strange how things work out like that sometimes but it’s pretty cool, too! 😆
I know, right? It seems like I keep coming across things that were just on my mind all the time.
Must be a glitch in the matrix. 🤭
Some believe our brains are capable of short bursts of precognition, our conscious minds making small leaps into the future.. perhaps you’re just connecting with your future self? 🤔
Or everyone else’s future selves? It’s always running across someone else bringing up the same random topic.😂
Ooh, the plot thickens.. can you imagine? It would certainly explain why a lot of things are so freaking complicated!
We were randomly flipping through Youtube last night and guess what, The Addams Family! Some quiz vid or some such but there they were yet again. Mind blown. 😂🤣🤯
No way! (I’ll have to check that out) But it’s so weird that that just happens to be what you came across.. 🤯
And I’ve really been wanting to watch the movies since this tag!
Yep, it seems to be everywhere these days!😂
Ain’t that the truth!
And, by the time you get used to it, it will be something else!
