The Chessmen of Mars (Barsoom, #5)

This is vintage sci-fi, and a book I haven't read in many moons. It was always my favorite of the Mars series, although I have to say reading it as an adult is a different experience. Its a little weird, a little fun and definetly interesting. I found this used and wanted to read it again to see how it holds up. 

What is your teaser?

  4. Very intriguing teaser! It's always interesting going back and reading something you read as a child and how your perception of it changes as an adult.

    Thanks for stopping by my teaser earlier!

    1. Yes it is! I have some favorites from childhood (like this one) that read just a tad bit different now, and I'm wondering if maybe I should just leave those memories alone ha ha. Something different though!
