Normal people the scripts5/24/2023 ![]() I did like this slightly more than the show it's the script for, in that I was physically capable of finishing this, which I cannot say of the show.Īnd that, beyond objectifying the actors in it, is the only compliment I have in me.īottom line: I've been trying to only read books I actually think I might like this year. Liberties the show takes from the book make the story feel totally different to me. I find both of the actors to be well-cast and hot, and that's the nicest thing I have to say about it. I like Normal People, or more accurately I go back and forth on Normal People but usually lean toward liking it fine, but. ![]() ![]() If you love Sally Rooney so much that it's like a spell has been cast on you to read every single story, excerpt, postcard, or shopping list she has ever made publicly accessible, this is a book that will feel like obligatory reading to you.

It prompted a newfound appreciation for its predecessor when it was published. The mirror above the fireplace that is displayed at Hetton Lawn in Charlton Kings, Gloucestershire (a house that was owned by Alice Liddell's grandparents, and was regularly visited by Alice and Lewis Carroll) resembles the one drawn by John Tenniel and is cited as a possible inspiration for Carroll. Through the Looking-Glass includes such verses as " Jabberwocky" and " The Walrus and the Carpenter", and the episode involving Tweedledum and Tweedledee. There she finds that, just like a reflection, everything is reversed, including logic (for example, running helps one remain stationary, walking away from something brings one towards it, chessmen are alive, nursery rhyme characters exist, and so on). ![]() Alice again enters a fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror into the world that she can see beyond it. ![]() Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (also known as Alice Through the Looking-Glass or simply Through the Looking-Glass) is a novel published on 27 December 1871 (though indicated as 1872) by Lewis Carroll, a mathematics professor at the University of Oxford, and the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). ![]() ![]() This empowering series offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. ![]() All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

Hawk5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Other than that, it had good new characters and a very nice building of suspense, since it kept me guessing to what exactly was going on, making it both logical and vague enough to make the guessing fun. Continuing the trend of book five in particular, it is more conciliatory towards the "eldritch horrors", which is not bad, but I do hope we get something really alien and scary again. Griffin mostly on the receiving end.I just think that he makes the better dominant partner all in all, or it might be that it is that the dynamic in the first two books was more easy to relate to me personally as a gay man. No direct appearance of Whyborne senior, I always liked how the father son relationship was worked since it always managed to subtly show that it was more complicated than just the usual "terrible father". I can really only lay my finger on three things I did feel could have been better (or more to my liking) but none of it is really something missing, it is actually more what I would like for the next ones. ![]() If you liked the previous books, you will also like this, I would say. It spins on the threads of plot delivered before, it adds some new, it gives more hints and explores further. Hoarfrost mostly is business as usual, but in a good way. Very solid continuation of a great series. ![]() Star Wars by W.
