I am taking my time and enjoying this. It is a side story to Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker series. (That he came up with and wrote the outline for.) I only learned about its existence very recently. Of course I immediately found a copy on eBay to purchase. Terry Jones is a member of Monty Python for those that don't already know.

Spy x Family, Vol. 4 | Tatsuya Endo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I devoured volume four of “Spy x Family”. Between the assassination plot and the addition of a dog to this fake family, this book had me hooked until the very end. It did get a little dark at times (ex. mentions of war, animal experimentation), however all dogs had happy endings. I absolutely LOVE Bond and I can‘t wait to see more of him in future volumes!

Volume 11 was a rollercoaster that was full of twists and turns. I was not expecting that ending, and my only complaint was that there were spiders 🤢

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chelsea‘s first book, written 20 years ago, back before her “Chelsea Lately” years. As is obvs by the title, it‘s a collection of funny dating stories. I was a religious viewer of her show, and first read this in 2010. I still miss the “Round Table” discussions. I reread on audio and was VERY bummed she‘s not the narrator like she is for her other books. She has since really found her writing “voice,” but it was still a quick, fun revisit.

I couldn‘t think of a #Chapel book but the prompt makes me think of the song Chapel of Love which is featured heavily in one of my favorite rom coms, sung by Elton John. 💒💍🥂

Allusion #2: POUND OF FLESH

I still can't believe that THE MERCHANT OF VENICE is on our district's 7th grade reading list alongside A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT'S DREAM. If you had your choice, which play would you rather read as a 12-13-year old?

TheSpineView Merchant of Venice... maybe. Not sure at that age I could have appreciated either. 2w
dabbe @TheSpineView It was a really hard sell to the kids. I only taught it one year. They loved MIDSUMMER. 2w
TheBookHippie Midsummer I imagine. As I‘m a nerd I loved all Shakespeare from age 12 on. 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie You are NOT a nerd; you're THE Book Hippiest! 🤩 2w
TheSpineView @dabbe Surprising that they liked anything Shakespeare. Just goes to show... you can never underestimate kids. 2w
dabbe @TheSpineView 🎯🎯🎯! 2w
CBee I loved Midsummer. But, I didn‘t read it at 12 or 13! I was older. A favorite of mine for sure! 2w
CBee @TheBookHippie nerds are awesome. I know this because I, too, am a nerd. AND PROUD 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂 2w
dabbe @CBee I can say unequivocally that MERCHANT OF VENICE is not one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. 🤣🤓🤩 2w
CBee @dabbe I‘m totally stealing #weirdwordsfornerds 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 2w

lil1inblue Most 12-13 year olds I know (and knew) would prefer Midsummer. I personally think that the themes in Merchant would be better understood in high school (I personally didn't read it until college). Although there's several other Shakespeare plays that I would put on the 7th grade list with Midsummer (mostly comedies). 1w

Happy Birthday to Douglas Adams, one of my favorite authors ever to exist. I remember reading Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy as a young teen and feeling like everything I‘d ever read before had been only halfway using the English language. Here was someone who played with it like a toy and who was too good at satire to be fair.

It‘s been too long since I did a reread, so today‘s the day.

DON‘T PANIC
and always know where your towel is.

👍🌌

vivastory I need to finish this series. I loved the first couple that I read 2w

Today is Douglas Adams birthday. This was a formative series for me, and remains one of my favorites. I even have a "42" constellation in the sky of my Dr. Who tattoo.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Ah!! I‘m so glad I‘m not the only one celebrating out there! 😅 Your tat sounds absolutely badass. ❤️ 2w
bookishbitch @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm thanks! I'm pretty partial to it. 2w
