WWMRR? aka What Would Moira Rose Read?
In honor of my Canadian queen Catherine O'Hara tragically passing away today, I wept (literally, I am unwell, y'all), and then felt inspired to make a list of books that I think Moira would like. Please give me ideas, I am thinking books that are/contain the following: dramatic and theatrical, VERBOSE vocabulary paired with profanity, female rage/female empowerment, sly humor, dark and twisty, possible nods to The Industry, excellent accessories required.
all the page’s a stage
fiction where the drama is baked in, as the plot or setting involves the theatre.
fiction written by actors
some are co-authored or probably ghostwritten, but regardless, they have an actor's name on the cover
