#auldlangspine book 5

A delightful graphic novel where Lady Camembert disguises herself as a man to avoid marrying one, then falls in love with Princess Brie. I loved all the cheese names! It really fleshed out the world in a very humorous way that had me chuckling each time a new one was named. Loved Brie‘s friends along with Feta, Cam‘s servant. The conversations about women‘s rights were well done & didn‘t take away from the overall coziness.

Not as heart-rending as the TV version in the first half of Season 3

Nick and Charlie embark on their relationship and it is a delight to watch the enchantment and nervousness of first love. Nick is acknowledging his feelings for Charlie and coming to understand himself better. The boys are navigating friendships and how and when to come out as a couple. It‘s such a fantastic series. So glad that it exists, especially for gay teens out there who need to see themselves in these stories.

The recipe is ALWAYS wrong when it comes to garlic imho 😄

Some of the more iconic lines make more sense on the written page than they did on TV, but Charlie and Tao's confrontation in the bowling alley loos seems to me better motivated on TV, despite Imogen never having been a favourite character of mine. And although I like the focus on Nick and Charlie, I do miss Isaac.

#WhereAreYouMonday

This Monday finds me on the Planet Mars. It‘s only the second time I‘ve visited here in books, I think, having only previously read Andy Weir.

Some of my reading got really dark, so my husband handed me this. Quite an enjoyable, quick read, and a good #palettecleanser.

A lovely experience that makes me so, SO glad not to be in my twenties anymore! 😅 Well-known term or not (don't forget the Afterword), an Age of License is probably something that could happen at different times in your life as long as the confluence of factors, (feeling untethered from family and routine, having the resources and opportunity for travel, uncertain of long term plans), exist, but I think that more often happens 1/?
