Just got my hold of Hamnet from the library! I'm not adding it to Adaptation Book Club for a lot of reasons, but they include:
a) My tbr is huge already without adding extra pressure to it
b) I need to feel like I can quit Hamnet if it's too sad for me to continue reading

I'm reading Liar's Throne and both things are absolutely true. Yes, it's super light. Yes, a character carries around a jawbone as a reminder of vengance. I love it.
it can be simultaneously true that this is one of my lightest-ever books and that even my lightest books will have a rotting corpse or six

I'm reading this right now, and Nina is such a menace in the best possible way. I love the whole crew in general so far (I'm about halfway through), but Nina's brand of chaos is an absolute delight.

Honestly, solid wins all around. Kokomo is the only one that sticks out to me, but that's more because it's a weird choice for kids, not because it's bad.
It's time to pick which generational cohort of kids had the best taste.

I was posting vaguely a couple weeks ago about newsletters that I was frustrated wouldn't leave Substack. Culture Study was one of them.
I have my problems with Patreon (like, why are they launching a specific newsletter area now when they've been destroying their text tools), but it's better!

Anne Helen Petersen’s Culture Study is moving to Patreon from Substack. It’s one of the platform’s most successful publications & a beneficiary of its six-figure development program.
This is bad for Substack.

I'm seeing a lot of appreciation for Paranormal Activity 3 this Halloween season, and I'm happy about it. I did a watch of the early part of the franchise last year (like, through 4) and it was my clear favorite.
