I'm bored and I do not care, so I'm going to bail.

" 'If he's a poet, why's he in jail?' demanded a suspicious voice.

Madam Chairwoman shrugged velvet shoulders.

'Perhaps he writes free verse,' she suggested cunningly."

Bahaha. Please let this book have more instances of mice as literary critics. For now, they're supportive of poets for "having written favorably of our race".

"People are interested in other people. But your unconscious is not. Or only as they might directly affect you. It's been hired to do a very specific job. It never sleeps. It's more faithful than God."

Update: Nana gets her groceries once a week by boat. This is what city-damaged me deserves for being so stupid. No, she can't run to the store for eggs or butter when needed but there is a boat! She waits for it.

I wanted a "mindless" thriller to escape into, but I can't get past the fact that Nana's mansion off the Cornish coast is so hard to reach that the road ends &d then they have to scrabble down a rundown footpath & use a wheelbarrow to transport stuff, if so inclined. So how does Nana get her groceries? And all those bottles of alcohol! Every time I turn the page I can't stop wondering about this. I'm stressed out.

I can't review this until I'm done with all three parts, but for the moment:

Henry VI Part 1: 2 stars

Henry VI Part 2: 4 stars

Henry: launches into speech #326 about the Tough Life of Kings vs the simple life of peasants

Me: "For the 326th time, where is the fucking guillotine?"

Thersites: "I am a bastard too; I love bastards. I am bastard begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard in valor, in everything illegitimate."

Is it terrible if I use this as my Twitter bio

I feel like I've been through the wringer after An Untouched House and the masterpiece that is The Karamazov Brothers so now I just want maximum fluff; something sweet but not cloying. Hopefully this fits the bill.

A NetGalley arc that expires *checks calendar* tomorrow. Urk. I've read some heavy books back-to-back recently and am looking forward to a fun and exciting and undemanding YA read, which I hope this is... (though the reviews have me worried)
