"dune films are good in context of star wars prequels" has gotta be backhanded compliment of the year so far X] i watched part 1 and 2 this year too - appreciated that they were aiming to be spectacle over substance, but couldn't forgive the fact that no one ever looked even a little warm lol ~ carpe jugulum was one of my favs 🦇 but i can't remember even one bit of the story now!

[@actual-spinster]

lmao... yes that's such a fair criticism tbh !!! well u should reread it to see !! it's a lot of fun

[@davidwardrop9214]

[@sasquatchblue]

[@pastorytime2683]

You've made me.. nearly want to read The Golden Notebook!? Excellent author crush choice 👍🏼 I'm sorry to hear about Greasepaint because it is one I've been wanting to read, but yeah I have heard mixed things.. Oh I DO specifically think you'll like The Snow Ball!! It's so good! Bert 🧡

This is a great reminder that Carpe Jugulum is up next in my reading through the series - super excited for it! Also loved hearing all your thoughts on film, particularly Cabaret 😊

[@actual-spinster]

oooh exciting !! :)

[@melissaisreading]

OMG I too watched The Idea of You and very quickly followed it up with Red, White, and Royal Blue. The Idea of You positively SHOOK me to my core lmao. Literally couldn't stop thinking about it. Nicholas Galitzine!!!! Red, White, and Royal Blue was uhh...something. haha

[@actual-spinster]

lol... i just enjoyed the idea of u sm lmao, like for what it is... i think its so fun !! yh red white and royal blue rly was something.... my friend in a letterboxd review said like 'one of the actors thinks he's in riverdale and the other thinks he's in call me by your name' and i havent been able to stop thinking about that since !

[@melissaisreading]

@@actual-spinster I saw that review! So accurate. The line "I will no longer be the prince of shame and secrets" really did me in lol

[@actual-spinster]

@@melissaisreading 😂😂😂

[@ThatsSoPoe]

It sounds like you've had a really lovely reading year so far with lots of great books! I've never seen Cabaret, but it does sound like a really neat movie.

[@actual-spinster]

yes, its going well !! it does get a bit violent [obviously considering the subject matter] just in case u do watch it !

[@ThatsSoPoe]

@@actual-spinster Oh, thanks for the heads up!
