Yes!! It took me forever, but I caught myself back up! 🥰💛
pickFirst off, it was interesting that the book was a story within a story and had 3 narrators (Walton, Frankenstein, and the Creature). That was something I wasn‘t expecting but it worked.
The star of the story was the Creature (aka Frankenstein‘s monster). The Creature was the epitome of being othered. He was so misunderstood and just wanted to belong and feel loved.

pickAn enjoyable reread for me. I remembered this is mentioned a few times in the Twilight series, and especially Heathcliff, so I wanted a refresher before rereading that for the 20th anniversary.
There was music from my neighbor‘s house through the summer nights.
(This was the novel I first thought of in reference to the prompt)

For #audiobook listeners, here‘s a new version you can listen to on audible narrated by human voices!
This is Willow. I love Willow. Willow likes laps. Willow likes making biscuits on laps. Willow is distracting. So I dislike Willow. Then Willow purrs. I like Willow again. Damn you Willow.
All the discussion of slang in today's chapter reminded me of this article from 2019. It's not necessarily related to the book, but I found it interesting. My brain goes down weird rabbit holes sometimes. 🙃
