#JuneSpecials Picnic. When I looked up songs that deal with picnic, thus song was included. I don't see it, but since Led Zeppelin is the best group ever! I'll take their word for it. Ha! Dwyer Mak'er @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickSo good. Took me way too long to get into but that was all me and too many freakin‘ mundane things to attend to (like cleaning and j-o-b). Gotta love a book that upon finishing the very last sentence, tears threaten and so I must laugh instead. Pick! Stack it!

Grand so.
“It‘s hope that makes us afraid, and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, ‘cause it means he has something to lose and to win.”
“Directors without a producer are like a ship without a sail, the medium of wind to endeavors nautical being equivalent to coin in all theatrical,…”
Some really great sentences in this! 🌟 #debut #drama #ToF
pickElizabeth Rex, by Timothy Findley (2000 🇨🇦)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: On the night before her lover is put to death on her orders, a restless Queen Elizabeth I spends time with William Shakespeare‘s troupe and gets into a battle of wits about the performance of gender with a man who has spent his whole career in drag.
Review: This is probably my favourite play-as-literature thus far. Cont.
pickThe ebook edition I got was kind of garbled at times (weird typos), but I found this a surprisingly brisk read. Nice to finally place some of the quotations that go around in context.
Mostly just read it for this StoryGraph challenge, which echoes a Goodreads challenge: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/b39b226a-7d82-4267-a215-77dde52... But I appreciated it more than I'd expected.

panAs a Julie Andrew‘s fan I thought this book would be exciting and fun to read. It was so boring and longwinded. Barely focus on each individual film and it was like reading a very long wikipedia page.
pickRead The Crucible to get ready to watch John Proctor is the Villain on Broadway.

Nooses whisper as
the girls' lies waft through Salem––
truth burning in flames.
