I demanded that they set up a pro bono scheme during Law School and promptly regretted it.<br /><br />Anyway Laura... yay The Handmaid's Tale! I've been toying with the idea of rereading it lately as I read a YA that was sort of (but not really) along the same lines. Ellie bought me a surprise copy for my first blog birthday FOUR YEARS AGO.

My stupid toot...I... haven't read much at all. My stupid tooth is hurting so badly, the gum's suddenly just receded in, like, two days flat, and Mum won't take me to the dentist because "YOU CAN JUST DEAL WITH IT YOURSELF", and now I'm all panicky and it's making my face feel all hamstery and... *spontaneoulsy combusts*<br /><br />ANYWAY. I'm going to try and read more today. As a distraction from the entire left side of my face, if nothing else. Read read read, and hope the toothache-induced headache stays away for a bit, and then READ SOME MORE.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-6832444638721304792016-01-17T02:07:45.181+00:002016-01-17T02:07:45.181+00:00Aww, The Handmaid's Tale. SUCH A GOOD BOOK. An...Aww, The Handmaid's Tale. SUCH A GOOD BOOK. And I imagine going well with pizza, for some reason.<br /><br />My sister said she started Carry On and she wasn't really getting through it because it was "trying to be Harry Potter" and I tried to explain that that's kind of true but also not and yeah, I just haven't grabbed my own copy yet. I need to though.<br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196903315080725315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-60093132818963905732016-01-17T00:44:49.184+00:002016-01-17T00:44:49.184+00:00Oh man, I love The Handmaid's Tale SO much. Ju...Oh man, I love The Handmaid's Tale SO much. Just finished (re)reading it UGH THE TRAUMA. I am a bit ambivalent about starting Carry On because I feel pretty much the same way, BUT I trust in Rainbow Rowell so much that I know it won't be actively bad? So there's that.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-70739202060081754112016-01-17T00:42:07.957+00:002016-01-17T00:42:07.957+00:00SO GOOD. If not good then at least addictive. But ...SO GOOD. If not good then at least addictive. But it's also REALLY GOOD (and totally upsetting). You should definitely watch it but you're going to need 10 straight hours, be aware!<br /><br />I have very much failed at updates or twitter or anything really, but reading I *have* done and I think that's the point! Maybe. I don't even knowwwww anymore.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-72008462803452986212016-01-16T16:26:51.973+00:002016-01-16T16:26:51.973+00:00Love Handmaid's Tale and Station Eleven!

I'll be interested in your thoughts on Carry ON, I have the ebook but I wasn't super enamoured with the whole Simon and Baz bits in Fangirl.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377404526123600035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-72510337319004851502016-01-16T14:58:56.403+00:002016-01-16T14:58:56.403+00:00Is this Making a Murderer thing good?

I keep hearing about it but I've only JUST connected it with Steven Avery and Innocence Project, which I studied as part of an online Forensic Psychology course I was doing on FutureLearn. Worth adding to my list of stuff to watch when I actually get time with the Telly With Netflix downstairs?<br /><br />I haven't planned books or snacks or done proper update statistic posts or any of that jazz either, I've been a bit BLAH about the whole thing, and I kiiiind of got distracted playing Puzzle Bobble, which is basically the best thing ever and NO BUILDING UP LEVELS SO YOU JUST PLAY A GAME AND MOVE ON. Also my head hurts. And my jaw. *sulks in corner with book*Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
