    You might have to be chronically online to get some of the slight nods to real life people and events

  • The Forever Wardrobe: Find your style. Transform your clothes. Save time and money.
    Workbook-style Text

    DNF-ed because this book wasn't available in my library when I actually wanted to read it and took 8 weeks before I managed to borrow a copy. Then when I started reading it, I realized it was meant as a workbook-style text (i.e. some exposition followed by a section of questions to consider for each chapter) and I wasn't in the mood to participate in that way.

  • Blood and Mistletoe: The History of the Druids in Britain
    What Druids are Not

    I started listening to this as an audiobook and after 2+ hours, had learnt more about what Druids are not, than what they are. The first 2 hours takes the general script of "Some texts from x century said a, b, and c about Druids, but actually, this says much more about the sources than the Druids themselves". DNF-ed because I realized I didn't know enough about Druids in the first place to have any misconceptions corrected, and also that I was not interested enough in the subject to form new understandings of the Druids.

    one thing that came to mind ... the small signs of racism from Letty were a sign she would do this. her repeatedly not really getting it, and not listening to her best friends who were all POC. her forcing everyone to go to that dance was so cruel... reminds of of Yellowface where there was a small hint of cruelty in the first chapter that was just the tip of the iceberg that reveals how little these white characters care about POC

    Katarina plays the victim and thinks the world revolves around her. Literally Heath made himself the skater she wanted him to be yet she pushes him away. All she thinks about is the Olympic gold medal and when she gets it, what’s next? There’s no end to her greed.
