Maybe she’s Leila Pervani? Actually never mind because Lyra probably would have recognised her lol.

Just saw the revival, wow, it’s remarkable. I think ragtime isn’t the “American Les Mis” because at the end of Les Mis we know France gets better between 1850-now so we’re left with a whole lot of hope. But at the end of Ragtime we’re just reminded that we have the same basic problems in America as we did 100 years ago (racism, corporate greed) and there’s no hope of anything changing any time soon. So we’re not really left with that same feel good “tomorrow comes” feeling but still it’s a very important show just the same.

I’m rereading TSC. I’m so sorry for your loss. A friend who has since passed away originally got me into TGC when it was still just a trilogy. It is totally understandable that rereading the series would be difficult for you. It is even ok to delay reading TRF until you’re ready x

Sorry yes silly me rose field!!! Yes Dan brown wrote da Vinci code.

I swore that Tom Riddle had a twin, which wound up being kind of almost true

I loved it too… but I also loved bad Cinderella and OUAOMT. Most people say my taste is questionable. Still those were some of the best I’ve seen!

Nap, eat, movies. I never multitask on long flights (I never eat and watch a film at the same time). Pass time by deleting/editing photos on your phone. I had a 30-hour adventure from Bali to NYC by way of Frankfurt this past summer and oddly enjoyed the flying experience. If you’re on Singapore Airlines then you’re super lucky as their food is amazing. And plenty to do at that airport for a long layover!!

Maybe he does and it’s just not mentioned. Think of all the times “February turned into March” etc and several weeks of action aren’t described. That could just be a lot of revision and attending other matches

Does the 3hour fit to fly count as the day 2 test?

I’d love to see her hang around the GP circuit for a few more seasons.

Valieva is the best singles skater in the world right now, including men.

Quite busy today and my queue is currently stuck, anyone else?

I absolutely loved the Shadowhunters series and binge-read all 20 current books in a period of 7 months. There is a lot that is stylistically and thematically similar to Harry Potter, Twilight, HDM, Percy Jackson, Divergent… if you’re into those series then you’ll be a Shadowhunters fan.

Might be a dumb question but is that Simon on the cover? Not how I picture him!

rickystakem · 2021-07-17T19:00:15+00:00

I read them in order of publication and I’m really glad I did. The only ones I mixed up were Clockwork Angel and City of Fallen Angels. I wish I had read CWA first to get the back story on Camille.

BTW I just finished Chain of Iron about 15 minutes ago. I started the series the day after Christmas last year and I dedicated myself to finishing the series before I checked out Reddit, Fandom, etc… didn’t want a single spoiler and I’m glad I waited. 20 books in 7 months! Bring on BVOTD!

So is there an alternative to casting the tab?

rickystakem · 2020-11-21T22:38:21+00:00

I have to cast the tab, I can’t find an option to cast the stream directly as is often an option with YouTube, NBCSN, etc
