I was all set to binge read some fiction on this rainy morning—until I remembered Karamo‘s book is due in a few days and I‘ve still got a ton of chapters left. I read two just now and I‘m feeling a lot of love for him. #caseyplusbooks

Rain‘s back. We‘re being lazy.

I wanted to do #24b4monday this weekend, but I‘ve had a lot less reading time than I expected and I‘m only at 9:30 after the chunk I just did. Oh well. It was a spur of the moment thing anyways. #caseyplusbooks

mcipher I‘m only at 3 hours according to my stopwatch. I think it‘s wrong but whatever. I only decided to join yesterday morning and then had a busy-ish day doing non-book stuff. 5y
xicanti @mcipher that was also my Saturday. 5y

Pain day reading with coffee and companion. It‘s kind of cold out, but I lost a chunk of the morning and I want to get some time outdoors before the thunderstorms hit this afternoon. #caseyplusbooks

Drop Dead Beautiful | Jackie Collins

I wasn‘t really feeling DROP DEAD BEAUTIFUL at 300 pages in, so I took a break from it and decided to reassess once I‘d read something else. Much to my surprise, I DO want to finish it now I‘ve had some time away. Here goes.

I tried to get a super cute picture of Casey with it at breakfast, but little zippy stuck his head right inside the front cover. Dogs, man. #caseyplusbooks

AlaMich He‘s the right dog for you, alright! 6y

The Backstagers | James Tynion IV

Somehow, I thought THE BACKSTAGERS was a mostly realistic comic about teenage theatrical types. It‘s actually about a bunch of misfits who navigate the magical tunnels underneath their high school theatre, and it‘s A DELIGHT! Tynion and Sygh give all the metaphorical wonder and mystery that makes theatre so exciting a literal twist, with plenty of danger blended in. I requested vol 2 the moment I finished because I need MORE. #caseyplusbooks

MemoirsForMe This sounds really good! 6y

This anthology offers a chronological tour through Caribbean literature published between the 1920s and the late 1990s. It‘s a good retrospective with a few oddities, like the editors‘ failure to state each writer‘s nationality at the beginning of each story. Brace yourself for rape culture and dodgy colonial shit, too. The whole package is worth it as a literary artifact, but it often felt Good For Me rather than enjoyable. #caseyplusbooks

xicanti NB: the writers‘ nationalities do appear in the TOC and in the contributor bios at the end of the book. Also, the Copyright page seems to list each story‘s most recent reprinting, not its original release date and the venue in which it debuted. I find this odd. 6y

This was a lot of fun! As pretty well every comics commentator has pointed out, it‘s basically DC Does The Fantastic Four, minus the family angle but with craploads of space adventures, multiversal shenanigans, and ever-evolving team dynamics. I like these characters and I want to see where they‘ll end up next as they try to break the dark matter bond that ropes them together. Who wants to bet they ARE a family by then? #caseyplusbooks

GrilledCheeseSamurai I liked this first volume but haven't read anymore since Marvel brought the FF back. 😅 6y
