Spit Spot!

So I'm 1 chapter away from finishing off Mary Poppins Returns the second in the series of Mary Poppins books and man, I have to say I love Mary Poppins even more in the books than in the movie. I did like Mary Poppins, the character already a lot but I don't like Julie Andrews the actress. She has that "I'm so much better than you" thing about her. Eventhough I did like her as the character of Mary Poppins, it still bothered me a bit. Maybe it was all the smiling and the happy songs in the movie, I dunno.

However, in the books, Mary Poppins is just plain awesome! I love how she has such a kind heart but she hardly shows it. And she barely ever smiles, just slightly. And it totally cracks me up when she stops to stare at herself in the shopwindow for 10 minutes and then she yells at the kids for making her wait. Haha. But she has such kindness in her and she does really help the children and they go on such marvelous adventures.



Well, I love characters like her. Just as I love Bree van de Kamp and Mrs. Coulter, Lyra's Mother from His Dark Materials.

I don't know what it is, but I'm always drawn to characters like that.

Mary Poppins is still the least scary of them. :D

And I love how the books have so much mythology in ithem as well and how Mary Poppins is, I don't know... like a Goddess or something. Everyone knows and loves her. She must be hundreds of years old. And yeah, she's only strict to the kids, and boring people. She's kind to animals and other beings.

Cool. Well I think we need to order the other 5 books xD I hope she stays the same in all the books :)
