June. A new favourite. A new lowest score. A new Nemesis! 

You should’ve seen the phrases I used towards the seagull that I cut 😤 Yeah the Harlan Ellison was a big let down for me. The sad thing is it really didn’t need to be. It could’ve been an absolute classic, but whether he was trying to be edgy or just was a misogynist I don’t know. Thanks a million for watching 😁

@@onceuponabookishsteph Thanks as always for watching and commenting, you can totally take credit for me continuing the outdoor vibe, just as long as you’re willing to take the blame when I start trying to do these outside in a deluge 😂 Actually if you want to read more Sanderson, Tress isn’t a bad option. It’s standalone and doesn’t rely on prior reading, it just has Easter eggs if you have. Other than Tress you can try Warbreaker. Despite the title that makes it sound like a 90’s PlayStation game, it’s about two sisters who end up with different destinies than they expect and is at its heart a love story.

@@CliffsDarkGems Thanks a million for commenting as usual. Yeah, I don’t think the relationship with Ted Hughes helped much with her mental health. Be interesting to get your perspective on the Harlan Ellison, even if it’s not a book I’d recommend. I agree about the comparison with The Thing. But The Thing is a masterpiece, I was just pleasantly surprised by how much of the film was actually in the original text considering it had been written in the 30’s
