The book centers around Grady Green, an author who is on the verge of getting everything he thinks he’s ever wanted, until his world comes crashing down with the mysterious disappearance of his wife Abby. One year later Grady has more questions…

i'm reading the hunger games prequel at the moment. i had no interest in it for a long time, but somebody whose opinions i value said it was doing some interesting things, so i thought i would give it a try. but what's really striking me about it is how... clunky the writing style is. thg+sequels aren't exactly the most sparkling, beautiful prose but they're sparse and functional in a way that works and feels stylish. this feels, i don't know... juvenile? unpolished? it's surprising, tbh

i tend to be super bothered by lacklustre prose – I think it's bc i don't have a strongly visual imagination, so at no point do books give me a movie in my head, i am always experiencing them as words and not as pictures. that makes it hard to ignore when the words aren't great. but wasn't expecting this one to read so much like how i wrote as a fourteen-year-old. there's so much that could be trimmed back when it comes to describing emotions and thoughts. "he wondered" "he felt" – so many of these words unnecessarily littering the sentences and distancing us from the actual emotions

idk man. whatever i was expecting of this book, i didn't think mediocre sentences would be the main thing bugging me

There's definitely press coverage enough in most depictions, it's just that "chronic adopter Bruce Wayne" isn't the focus... so much as "tragedy follows Bruce Wayne". The deaths of his parents had so sooo much media coverage, and then the deaths of the Graysons after that, and then Jason's death, and then the Drakes.

Adoptions don't make the news, but death does. And in quite a few sources true crime content almost seems to be a major export for Gotham, so I don't doubt that plenty of people recognize them even outside of Gotham... it's just for sad reasons rather than funny.

I know the "DCU loves talking about chronic adopter Bruce Wayne" jokes are funny, but I honestly don't think normal people in the DCU would talk or think about it all that much. Angelina Jolie has six kids, three of whom are adopted, and they're largely footnotes in conversations about her. Madonna also has six kids, four of whom are adopted, and they're never talked about except in random "Madonna as a Mother" variety articles.

The Waynes are certainly well-known in-universe, but they're not Kardashians; Bruce has no desire to market himself or his family as a public spectacle in a way that would generate that type of press. The most he ever puts his kids in the spotlight is when they attend functions or meetings in his place and when he and Tim sat for that interview after Tim's adoption. It'd be a fun factoid imo and I certainly think Gothamites might joke about it in the way anyone fondly talks about local celebrities, but I just don't see it being a Big Thing people think about all the time

The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

This book has been sitting on my TBR shelf since I selected it as my Book of the Month for June 2021. When I recently read The Fury (which I loved!), I realized I had to get this one in soon too. Michaelides opens the book with his protagonist, Mariana and her desperate obsession to prove that Professor Edward Fosca of Cambridge University is murdering his own students. Not only is Mariana a…

lestat somehow ends up having beef with taylor swift because she released the 15th version of her new album the same day the vampire lestat album came out and made it go number two on the charts. his fans are mad and they say she’s not a ‘girl’s girl’ because they think lestat is secretly using she/her pronouns. this causes MAD discourse on twitter because people say lestans (official name of his fandom) are co-opting struggles of real trans/genderqueer artists and that lestat is clearly just a cis white man who thinks his aesthetic is cool and hip with the times but he’s actually super cringe. lestat has killed his pr team so he tweets himself in response to the drama and says that mademoiselle swiftié is a perfectly fine musician but she’s basically a baby compared to his long relationship with music. swifties ratio him on twitter calling him ‘an old queen’ and ‘world’s worst father’ (this is because they read international bestseller interview with the vampire). lestat has an emotional breakdown and cries for three days and he eats his makeup artist for making him look old. his producers are desperate and they ask daniel molloy to fix him because daniel is the unofficial vampire therapist now. vampire daniel’s idea of fixing lestat is to go on a blood bender with him. somehow this works because in between victims daniel tells lestat to stop being a little bitch and grow the fuck up. here lestat understands for the first time why daniel and louis are friends and asks daniel to telepathically call louis for him because he needs him. daniel tells him to eat shit. as they return to lestat’s shack (yes he still lives there when he’s not touring) they find out that swifties have doxxed him and showed up to the shack to ravage it. lestat starts crying again while daniel falls over himself laughing and records everything and posts it on tiktok. armand likes the video 0.3 seconds after it’s posted. throughout all of this louis is on a beach somewhere enjoying a quiet night, he telepathically asks daniel how lestat’s doing and daniel tells him to not even worry about it.
