I love The Diplomat too. All the characters are just so messy and awful, and I love them 😍 The Color Purple (book) is super gay, and neither of the adaptations have been brave enough to portray that properly, which is disappointing.
Love your jumper!! 😊 It’s interesting what you say about Rooney. I think you are right. I HATED How to lose the Time War. The war stuff was boring and the love stuff was too OTT sickly in places. Just 🤢🤢🤢I don’t know how I didn’t DNF it. It’s nice to hear from someone else who didn’t gel with it. I totally thought in the book The Colour Purple is queer. So yeah be that they changed it. Oh no about the shit Christmas movie 👹🎅 So cool about your singing that’s brilliant apart from the rude compère part!! ❤ I would love a gift guide!!
I’m sooooo reassured you felt the same about How You Lose The Time War. And that The Colour Purple was originally queer. It can feel a bit gaslighty when details like that are written out of adaptations - you doubt yourself! Will get working on a gift guide. Why not! Thanks for your support Charlie. ♥️
When I don't know what to read I just grab a bunch of books and read the first page. I want to read Antarctica, love Keegan. I love time travel books but everyone seems to hate This is How You Lose The Time War, and your description makes me think I wouldn't like it. The West Wing is one of my favourite shows, and I really liked Keri Russell in The Americans, so I might have to give The Diplomat a go. Have you seen The Quiet Girl, the adaptation of Foster? It's beautiful.
I had no idea Foster had an adaptation! This is very exciting, I’ll look it up. Also forgot the actor in The Diplomat is also my namesake! All the more reason to support it as there aren’t many Keri’s out there!!

@BookishAdventuresInWellbeing The Quiet Girl is an Irish language film with unknown actors so didn't get as much hype 😄
That makes sense. Definitely going to hunt it out though. Thanks Aaron!
