📚 Reading The Dark Phoenix Saga (not for the first time) and I had forgotten how heavily this whole deal, especially Scott talking to Dark Phoenix about love, influenced Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Dark Willow storyline.
🔖📚 Read Jamaica Kincaid and Kara Walker Made an Irreverent, Charming Kids’ Book by Stephen Bell (Harper’s Bazaar).
I’m super curious to see the book. The article only contains one sample page. It’s gorgeous and I look forward to seeing more.
🍿 Watched UHF on the big screen today, when I’d only watched it at home before. Early on I seemed to be the only person laughing but maybe people were feeling shy or something because they laughed more as the movie went on. It’s a funny movie every time.
Finished reading: Essential X-Men - Volume 1
I read these as single issues in Marvel Unlimited, but this is the easiest way to track them.
Currently reading: The Best There is at what He Does: Examining Chris Claremont’s X-Men by Jason Powell 📚
Started watching X-Men 97 📺 which reminded me that I love the X-Men, so now I’m reading this and reading the comics mentioned alongside. Super fun.
Want to read: A Web of Our Own Making by Antón Barba-Kay 📚
My kid told me, “A cross between a piglet and a pug is a puglet.” When I replied, “Good night,” meaning to indicate that it was time to sleep and not to talk, he said, “I just wanted to give you that very valuable information.” I love him the most.
Finished reading: No Good Duke Goes Unpunished by Sarah MacLean 📚
I love every Sarah MacLean heroine.
Finished reading: One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean 📚
Lady Phillipa Marbury is a refreshing take on a bluestocking.
Hello world, I am full of hormonally-induced ill feeling including headache, nausea, and cramps. Until further notice, I hate everything except my family and friends, romance novels, Pepsi with real sugar, and Star Trek.
