I see the "how did the McCallister's afford such a big house in Home Alone" discourse is back.
Whilst I do love the idea that the dad's a criminal, no one ever seems to espouse the most obvious theory:
Kate and Peter McCallister are boomers. They probably bought that house for $1.50.

TV and films are so funny; I'm watching Sneaky Pete and one 16 year old just asked another 16 year old if they could borrow $700 and the 16 year old was like "yeah sure".

Oh my I love this book. It's so, so good.
I almost wish I liked fantasy so I could read her other works. But alas...

I'm reading Yellowface for the first time since the first time.
I'm absolutely flying through it again; the first read I did in one day, so I'm not quite getting through it that fast, but oh my are the pages turning quickly.
I'm devouring it.
Good book.

To say I'm excited for Egger's Werewulf is the greatest understatement of all time.
I celebrated by spending the evening with what I've come to realise is one of my all-time favourites: Robert Egger's Nosferatu.
The atmosphere is incredible, the script gorgeous, the performances fantastic and the action absolutely brutal.
Eggers should have adopted Frankenstein, not Del Toro.

Nellie didn't enjoy the Hull game yesterday - the crowd noise makes her nervous - but I very much did.
Huge 3 points after consecutive defeats, especially as we were 1-0 down at half time.
The game is never over when you have Joffey in the team. Little Leeds legend.

I should have known this was going to suck, there's a quote on the back cover from actress Dakota Johnson.
Stunningly beautiful, not a jot of acting talent, and absolutely nothing to do with literature. No thanks.

"I DNF first-person books if I can't relate to the protagonist" is a kind of illiteracy.
The point of first person is not to insert yourself into a narrative. You are supposed to experience and empathize with the perspective of a character that is intended to be fully fleshed out.
