Proving to my book club I’m going to finish this book

And I’ve already cried

There was a marital “exemption” for RAPE until 1993.
1993!!!!!

Ok so I had already seen Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist but the next couple of movies she talks about in the book I haven’t seen so I’m watching them before I read the chapter on them which has been a fun way to read this!

Wow, Eleanor Johnson does her research.
I think sometimes male filmmakers use women in their horror movies because, even subconsciously, we represent vulnerability to them. And often unintentionally they expose vulnerabilities that call for social change. It’s also just satisfying to know that these filmmakers accidentally ignite change when advocating for the opposite.

Only through the introduction of this book and Eleanor Johnson has already sent chills down my spine. Not because the movies this novel will be analyzing are so disturbing they illicit such a reaction, but because Johnson argues that we’re once again, socially and politically speaking, living through the 1970s. My mind is spinning with parallels between that political climate and our current state. Terrifying.

Productive snow day!

I truly have no clue how this is going to end

When I tell you I’m HOOKED

Do not read if you hate eyeballs

Officially started reading this one again now hehe

girl are you sure you should be saying all this … ope

Hard to see a girl living your dream (punching men in the face at a ball)

This book feels like it was written for me. An art history grad student with gray morals gets wrapped up with vampires?? Only complaint is that I’m halfway through and no one is in love yet

I hate it but I’m committed

I’ll meet this 2025 reading goal or die trying
