My next book, a collection of interviews of a known-to-be-unreliable author, selected by the same author. Well, will see what‘s here. I‘m attempting to cram a few last Nabokovs into December. In January I‘ll move to a new theme (Boccaccio and Robert Musil are my planned 2022 themes)

1. Jane Eyre 😞
2. The manga classics adaptations come to mind--as an art teacher I think they're fantastic, but they get a lot of shit on goodreads.

4. Romance. I don't know where to start!
5. Mr. Rochester
6. I can't think of one!
7. 🙅🏻 love shapes 🙅🏻
8. Divergent 🤷🏻‍♀️
9. Catching Fire 🔥

1. Divergent trilogy
2. The Casual Vacancy
3. In the triangle of Ron/Hermione/Hermione's independence, I was very upset that she ended up with Ron.
4. Sci-fi
5. Four, or any other broody, "misunderstood" douche canoes from YA novels.
6. Jane Austen
7. Love triangles
8. Lord of the Rings
