Twelfth Night | William Shakespeare

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. #2025Bracket @CSeydel

The Tempest | William Shakespeare

so-so

It'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 💕

ChaoticMissAdventures I read this in college and remember liking it, but my professor paired it with the old sci-fi movie Forbidden Planet and I think it was her teaching style and the campiness of it all that really made it fun. I feel a lot of these school reads are not as great when reading them at home alone. 2d

mariaku21 @ChaoticMissAdventures this was one that I didn't get to read in school although we read a lot of his other works, and I enjoyed those, but this one, not so much. Teaching style definitely is a great benefit to a lot of these classic books though 😁 1d

Eileen: A Novel | Ottessa Moshfegh

so-so

I find Moshfegh so hit and miss and was leaning towards miss and nearly an unfinish for this one. But there is one sucker punch of a moment that was pretty great. Overall though I was just left feeling a bit meh. It would be great to see Moshfegh try something out of the “wickedly dark endearing female who is still also very beautiful” genre #eileen #otessamoshfegh #drama #literaryfiction

An Enemy of the People: An Adaptation of the Play by Henrik Ibsen | Arthur Miller

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

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.

dabbe Yay! We only got through the Cs, so more booklists are coming! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵🩶🩵 1w

A Silent Voice volume 1 | Yoshitoki Oima

pick

Excellent manga that tells a powerful, often heartbreaking, story about bullying, in its various forms from perpetrator to bystander, and its lasting effects. When a young man bullied a classmate in elementary school because she couldn‘t hear, he changed her life as well as his. Now in high school he regrets what he, and others did, and hopes to make things right. Other themes include suicidal thoughts, forgiveness, jealousy, & guilt. Great read.
