Welcome to Litsy!

This was very disappointing, I did not enjoy it at all and I was expecting this to be a highly rated book for me.

I can see why people enjoyed it but I didn't take to it at all, it took far too long to get interesting, I didn't like the writing style, and a lot of it was pretentious twaddle.

Hamnet + Chicken Adobo

I saw the most incredible adaptation of Hamlet last night. I had no idea that I was buying tickets to a wordless ballet, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm struggling to describe the genius of Guillaume Cote and his company, and I fear I won't do it justice if I try. Just know that I've never been so sucked into a performance that I didn't want to risk looking away even for a moment. I'm very grateful that they decided to come through our town.

My favorite Shakespearean play has my favorite Three Witches. They are deliciously evil.
“Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.“ 🖤🧹🖤

I‘m not sure where I‘m at with this one. I both enjoyed it and did not enjoy it at various times. I knew what had happened fairly early, but I think the point is something else. We get so stuck in our personal fable, especially when young. We try to play our part, but that‘s the problem. Life can‘t be scripted.

If We Were Villains by M.L Rio. Rated 9/10

Mimi discovers the art of magical baking while preparing for a baking competition at a local cafe and chaos breaks out within her family. This is a fun adaptation borrowing from A Midsummer Night‘s Dream. I enjoy books with kitchen magic, and Mimi is a charming character. This is middle grade, but it did feel like she was a little more clueless than I would have expected. #Magic #Baking #MiddleGrade #Adaptations
