I can already tell this is going to be an emotional re-read now that I know Cory Young’s lore

I do love Christopher Moore’s style of humour, but good lord is this book of its era. I could have a GREAT night if I took a shot every time the r-slur was used😀

By the way, I have finished all of my required reading for Theatre History I, so every play I read from here on out is me doing it to myself (shoutout Radiohead)

I have just begun to understand what is happening

So… are we ever going to address the sheer amount of evidence that has been illegally obtained

This has got to start being something otherwise this is by far the worst play I have read for class.

I don’t like the MC, so buckle up. One thing that is making me laugh though is her insistence that the victim couldn’t have poooooossibly killed himself without a suicide letter. As we all know, your suicide is only legally binding through your suicide letter

I had to read and annotate all of the lyrics from The Wall by Pink Floyd for a class. Does that count as a book I’ve read this year…

Genuinely baffled to learn that the author is English because this reads like the most “I’m American and writing a story set in England, so I’m going to use every piece of British English I know” writing I have ever read

I am scared for the betrayal and arrest and crucifixion

“Change comes through action. Balthasar once said to me, ‘There’s no such thing as a conservative hero.’ He was wise, that old man.”

Biff is awesome

Kat, your ex-boyfriend was MURDERED within the past month. Why are we trying to get with the detective looking into his death? Truly, this new romantic development makes no sense…

I really don’t care for the podcast B-plot, but I love the friendship between Kat, Olivia, and Elle!

Kat stealing the ring from her shit ass cheating boyfriend is iconic

It is so strange seeing both Briar and Emery in this book. I know this is #3 in the series, but I don’t think I have ever read a romance series before.

Unsurprisingly, I am increasingly tired of this white woman’s input

Y'all are about to get a lot of play updates. So far, Creon is kind of a dick. I don't know if I 100% agree with Antigone's actions, but Creon deciding to kill her because she was mourning the death of her brother? Evil.

I cannot stop thinking about this quote on 186--"Sure, it would have been fabulous to have some of that stardust sprinkled upon me, but he was also my friend and it was a pleasure and a privilege to see him begin to make the most of his abilities". If Morrissey had an ounce of Andrew Ridgeley's empathy, maybe The Smiths would still be together. :/

Ridgeley saying he wasn’t ugly but wasn’t that attractive either when he is one of the most beautiful men I ever did see…

Anyway, I have a feeling this memoir is going to make me cry even harder than the Wham! documentary did. That is a feat as that documentary literally ruined my entire day, and I cried myself to sleep over it.

“…the gap so lovely it made him want to cry” IN REFERENCE TO HER TOOTH GAP? ARE YOU KIDDING? 😭🩷

Sobbing my eyes out. How many times do we think I am going to cry while reading this?

Meh

I'm officially #notsold on this being set in the 1920s

I’m not sure if I’m sold on the necessity of this book being set in the 1920’s

First book I've read in a while where the MC was a full-blown adult, and let me tell you, it is the most refreshing thing in the world. Fayette, 45-year-old woman, I LOVE YOU

I kind of want to cry while reading the meat of Julia and Winston’s love affair. To know what is coming makes this whole thing so devastating :(

I was indeed still reading 1984 but momentarily got distracted by Blood of Hercules. The foreshadowing in this book is CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY
