Her love for HP,finding Mean Girls to be an instant classic/obsession while it took awhile to reach cult status w/everyone else.Her obsession with Road Rules(a young Theo Von?Hell yes,please.)We lived similar experiences in a lot of ways.Shes making me think that mid life is the perfect time to give all my beloved favorite books growing up a re-read&re-watch all my fave movies again,too.

“Homosexuality is like alcoholism,he told us.He explained a person can be genetically predisposed towards drug abuse.Like Augustus+masturbation,he can resist the urge to drink.Augustus’s mother is Saint Monica;the patron saint of alcoholics.Similarly,one might have the urge to smooch someone of the same gender.Apparently conceding that homosexuality is not a choice,so theres that i guess…”

For as much as I have been enjoying listening (&reading) Dune, I realized I have only read a couple LGBTQ+ novels this Pride season. I think this had been listed as a previous mini challenge qualifier for it was on my “to be read” list on Libby, but alas, it doesn’t count for this year.
