So this is based on Taming of the Shrew/10 Things I Hate About You ... I'm guessing loosely since it's about assassins
Do I keep this for October or binge watch immediately. That is the dilema

I have more than one #FaveLiteraryLove but their witty banter & the fact they have to be tricked into their feelings before they admit them makes Beatrice & Benedick near the top of the list-biased by the movie portrayals I‘m sure.🩷
Two favorite quotes:
MESSENGER “I see, lady, the gentleman is not in your
books.”
BEATRICE “No. An he were, I would burn my study.”
“Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.” -Benedick
My #Roll100 pick for January was my favorite read of the month. I enjoyed "Twelfth Night" immensely and can't believe I haven't read it before, but I've seen the movie "She's the Man" like twenty times. #ReadingBracket2025 @CSeydel
so-soIt's been some years since I read Shakespeare and I honestly couldn't remember reading this one so I gave it a shot and for a short play, I found it to be slightly boring.
Maybe it's the pacing at the beginning but I found it to be messy and in some areas dull where in others slightly racist and pompous.
Thanks @SerialReader for helping me knock a book of my TBR 💕

pickThis was a delight. Brendan O‘Hea and Dame Judi cover her extensive work in numerous productions of Shakespeare‘s plays. In the audio, Judi recites famous lines from memory and her reminiscences are read by Barbara Flynn. Their discussions reveal a spirited kind woman in love with her craft and the words of the man who pays the rent. I am inspired to watch Judi‘s past performances. 4.5 ⭐️
My January #Roll100 picks. I think I'm going to start with the tagged book, as I think my Shakespeare knowledge is lacking. Maybe I should've started a Shakespeare book club instead of the one I currently run lol. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper
