So this is based on Taming of the Shrew/10 Things I Hate About You ... I'm guessing loosely since it's about assassins
Do I keep this for October or binge watch immediately. That is the dilema

I have more than one #FaveLiteraryLove but their witty banter & the fact they have to be tricked into their feelings before they admit them makes Beatrice & Benedick near the top of the list-biased by the movie portrayals I‘m sure.🩷
Two favorite quotes:
MESSENGER “I see, lady, the gentleman is not in your
books.”
BEATRICE “No. An he were, I would burn my study.”
“Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.” -Benedick
My #Roll100 pick for January was my favorite read of the month. I enjoyed "Twelfth Night" immensely and can't believe I haven't read it before, but I've seen the movie "She's the Man" like twenty times. #ReadingBracket2025 @CSeydel
so-soIt's been some years since I read Shakespeare and I honestly couldn't remember reading this one so I gave it a shot and for a short play, I found it to be slightly boring.
Maybe it's the pacing at the beginning but I found it to be messy and in some areas dull where in others slightly racist and pompous.
Thanks @SerialReader for helping me knock a book of my TBR 💕

This was fun, there were so many here I have not got around to reading and it was a good reminder, and by sheer coincidence I will soon be reading An of the People, translation by Arthur Miller. I am really excited about this one as I didn't even know I had it and found it in one of my anthologies as I was looking through the content.
My January #Roll100 picks. I think I'm going to start with the tagged book, as I think my Shakespeare knowledge is lacking. Maybe I should've started a Shakespeare book club instead of the one I currently run lol. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper
