the fact that I can now use this short story to say that one of the potential dangers of an unclear antecedent is murder is thrilling beyond reason, and I know it will bring the house down in my next editing training on the subject

just have to share how funny it was that this entire first short story I sat here listening thinking “this reader has SUCH saruman energy to him and I can’t believe there’s anyone else on earth who sounds like christopher lee” only to then decide to actually look at the audiobook reader and see that it is, in fact, read by christopher lee himself

I feel like Marlin the clownfish in Finding Nemo when he says to Squirt the turtle, “you’re really cute, but I don’t know what you’re saying!” except that it’s me to a long-dead Frenchman, telling him that yes, he can write well, but I need him to explain to me why the last two hours of the audiobook have been about convents (while also at the same time respecting his hustle bc paid by the word)

javert is nothing if not consistent in regards to his Complete Inability to Chill

I really hope victor hugo didn’t think he was being sneaky every time he reveals that the dramatic stranger who is doing way too much in the plot to be a rando is jean valjean

love that victor hugo was so inspired by ABBA’s “Waterloo” he decided to write dozens of pages about it

rip jean valjean you would have really benefitted from zoloft

I miss the priest and I hate privileged and obnoxious 20-something-year-old men

I’m already unbearably sad so this is going to be a mess

taking a break from my boy poirot for a bit wish me luck 🫡

must I have a job? can I not just be paid to love every word r.f. kuang writes? anyways im suffering at work knowing this book is waiting for me

sorry this is the best anne book by a MILE and that’s saying something because they all get a 25 out of 5 star rating from me

anyways the real world is literally so bad rn so I’m using the ultimate escapism to cope aka woodland mice who bake tiny cakes and drink out of acorn cups and slice strawberries like hams on toadstool tables

I genuinely cannot believe how long it is taking me to read this book but also I never want it to end

I take back every good thing I’ve ever said about this series I have not stopped crying for the past hour and I still have 500 pages left this is the worst thing I’ve ever done (I’m having the time of my life)

frankly cannot believe that 9 months and 20 brandon sanderson books of preparation later I have at long last made it to this moment
