“You could call it hope. That, or desperation.”
“But we are doomed without hope, as well,” said Jimmy.
“Only as individuals,” said Crake cheerfully.

I‘m so stoked for the new Unfortunate Events season!! Growing up, the Austere Academy was my absolute favourite - probably because it reminded me of my old school a bit 😂 #tvseries #adaptation

I‘m ashamed to admit that my knowledge (or ignorance...) of Shakespeare‘s Hamlet stems almost entirely from The Simpson‘s adaptation 😂 I‘m looking forward to finally reading it for myself 👍 #currentlyreading

"Even if you don't believe in the paranormal, ghost stories and legends of haunted places are a vital, dynamic means of confronting the past and those who have gone before us." #ghostland #currentlyreading
