I figured since I’ve been complaining I should mention the contemporary books I have actually read and enjoyed so shoutout to Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry for being the only YA novel that came close to my actual experience of Catholic school. The Possibilities of Sainthood by Donna Freitas isn’t as much of a heavy hitter but I enjoyed it when I was in high school. From All False Doctrine by Alice Degan and Dayspring by Anthony Oliveira felt like they were written for me personally.

I know I’m an information professional but I swear I just typed the phrase “why is Christian fiction so bad” into duck duck go

Figured that now that I've got a bookblr, I should make a post about the Read the World Challenge I'm doing! I'm reading a book primarily set in every country, doing my best to focus on authors from said country, though I will read diaspora authors if that's not feasible. Also some of the books from early on were from diaspora authors because I was pulling from books I had already read; I'll likely read more books from those countries in the future if I can. I've got 52 countries so far, and I'll list the titles and countries under the cut

MILF sister in law would massage alicent. Oh she would take such good care of Ali, knwoing history books Will just label them "good friends". Even If she massaged her clit with her tongue

And Aegon....adult Aegon would learn his sex addiction by watching his darling milf. Before she is soon teaching him. By using Ali as free participant.

--

Cregan gives the vibes that he would just insist on Stev being a pillow princess. Our dear aim to please Stev would pout so much when she gets hit with "this is about you, My doe" every damn time.

And oh My god when they start getting serious: Stev is vulnerable and afraid to sk (men in her life haven't really stuck have they? Bastards)

Cregan notices this and just with a teasing smile smirks. "Wanna know and interesting thing I've learned, as a cold northener? Ice sticks to iron like feathers to honey. You can't make it let go"

ALL OF THIS!! Oh Alicent is sleeping in her arms when Aegon makes his presence known with the hidden tunnels that she knows all about.

"Were you watching?" She purred; batting her eyelashes as she Prince stares in wonder before stepping close.

~~

Stev just blushing and ignoring his words, she can't get so attached so easily but soon its something she can't deny . Much to Cregan's amusement.

So I haven’t really posted anything actually spoilery yet but this will be!

Musical daddy Clark truly unreal. I love the opening number so much. I love how much dancing Lauren got to do this show, the joy on her face alone makes me want to cry. She and James had a bit in the opening number we love that duo. She and Joey also have a part in that choreo where they’re looking at each other and that was the moment I was really like oh god this is their first married SK show. Also I know I already brought this up but Joey wearing his ring for Bob is one thing, him wearing it from the very top of the show is NOT okay. I also shouldn’t be allowed to sit close to Lauren because I always get distracted, before it’s been her scars and her ring this time it was her sparkly eyeshadow fun! Also istg Lauren seems smaller every time I see her and the height difference between her and Joey seems worse.

Gift of the magi made me CRY. I forget how good Curt’s voice is and Janaya’s we KNOW is phenomenal and they were just so sweet together. And guys I cannot stress enough how amazing and hilarious this Joey Lauren Brian trio is like it MAKES act 1 for me. The whole song of that part Meredith posted on her story is SO funny. Also I’m fucking in love with Lauren’s costume in act 1 but even more so after the show she accidentally threw it off her head in that part.

L/J/B open little match girl and that song will not get out of my head. I’m not sure between Brian and Joey if the choreo was ever 100% perfect but we all know it adds to the charm. Lauren had to nudge Brian into the right place one show which was v cute. Ali is incredible and I’m so so happy to have her in a full length SK show again (but Lauren understudied match girl and ngl I would kill for rehearsal footage to hear those songs in her voice). This story was such a good showcase of how well SK combines the humour and the emotion.

Scrooge makes a little cameo in both of the stories which sets it up so well, and then the act 1 closer sets up for christmas carol.

I absolutely loved watching Meredith in the band and it’s so special how happy and proud she looks of her friends.

AJ’s scrooge is great and he brings a lot of fun little things to the characters, I think I just have a soft spot for Dylan’s scrooge because I have a soft spot for him that I don’t have for AJ.

The night Curt forgot his very first line in Bah Humbug and just said “yeah!” after Janaya was too funny and Joey put a hand on his back like “it’s okay” they’re all very cute. Honestly though that was probably the biggest fuck up. Joey is just like so so good as Bob obviously it’s perfect casting but it’s perfect casting.

3 spirits was even cooler the way it was staged this time.

Jaime’s I’m the ghost choreo was even funnier. Also nothing can compare with the Brian/Lauren siblings (finally!!) but Lauren was little sister again and was even cuter than last time, she had a little leg pop that was adorable and funny and then a little giggle at the end. And I remember being excited for Joey’s Fezziwig and then being like but he literally has one little part in that song, but he really did have fun with it and he had a cute interaction with Clark and Mere.

I love that scrooge with Curt and even after the 2021 show I’m still in disbelief over Janaya’s voice.

Christmas electricity is just the best fucking thing to see live the energy is so good. I did miss Lauren and Brian starting the song off (Clark was back to singing more of the interludes and we love Clark but there were a few I missed). AJ really was funny in this song. James slays so fucking hard. Lauren was wearing the black boots which I’m obsessed with. But she left early to make her quick change and THAT was when it hit me that I was about to experience the first married priceless.

And truly what to say. There were some ways it wasn’t as bad as previous versions, “this soil is rich” certainly no longer had THOSE implications. But literally just the fact that they *are* married and Joey’s wearing his wedding ring just got me even harder than I thought it would. There was also an EXCESSIVE amount of hand holding. And you’d think I’d be okay after the spin in the 2021 show but they did it in their slow mo section this time which was worse. And if that wasn’t enough, in the last show he spun her TWICE more in the last chorus in a way that definitely was not choreographed which you could see in Lauren’s face and I just. We KNOW they’re both phenomenal actors but we know even more that every bit of that is *real* and I will never recover. I say it every time but I cannot thank Clark enough for writing such a beautiful song for them. And at the end of the song Joey leaned his head on hers and I just looked at him and was like, that is a man who could not be happier performing with his wife. Also I absolutely think he tried to kiss her head the first show but she walked away. He was also the last to leave the stage at the end of the song and he was very proud husband/dad about it all. Jamie and Brian both *consistently* made Lauren break though which is always funny. Also in the first show there was someone in the front row who I think was not participating in cratchit family sing along so Lauren went right up to them and was singing right at them and then Janaya also shout-sang “priceless” at them. Which reminds me I do love that they got their hand mics back for this song. Also the last night Joey fucked up the part where they’re leaning out and wasn’t looking at Lauren when she was looking at him so she was acting offended but then when he did look at her they giggled and I love them endlessly.

Jim and Della became the couple in final ghost which was perfect. The decision to have Joey come out for the cratchit part holding tiny tim’s care bear was fucked up. Lauren leaning on his arm, also fucked up.

There was a new section in christmas day for Jim and Della which was really sweet, and a match girl appearance with an extra couple lines. It did mean we had to lose turkey boy which is kind of a tragedy because it means we’ve never *properly* gotten it live, but I do love love that they tied all the stories together like that and the emotional payoff was so good. We had Lauren donation man and her and AJ were really funny in that bit. Lauren had an entrance while the Bob and Scrooge bit was happening so watching her wait there like a proud wife for him to come and take her arm was 🥺

All that to say this is such a special show and the new additions are perfect and you should absolutely get a digital ticket!!!

🦇 Welcome to a fresh week full of possibilities, my fellow bookish bats! I hope you had an amazing weekend! It's been a while since I've posted one of these, so I thought it would be fun to jump in with an update. As a reminder, I can't post or respond to comments until 10/10! Please help me by commenting on and sharing this post!

❓QOTD What are you up to this week? Answer one of the prompts below!

📖 Reading: I just finished SK Ali's Fledgling (expect my review Tuesday to celebrate it's release). Now I'm reading a fresh ARC, Breaking the Ice by Amy Andrews. What was the last great ARC you read (I need recs!)?

☕️ Drinking: I made fresh oat milk this weekend, so I'm currently sipping on my first homemade pumpkin spice latte of the year (with maple syrup, pumpkin puree, more cinnamon than most people can stand, & pumpkin spice). Yum!

🍯 Eating: Last night I made a tray of paleo pumpkin spice cinnamon cake. It's super moist, & we topped it off with a hot, homemade cinnamon glaze. I unfortunately broke a GORGEOUS baby blue casserole dish (containing a week's worth of homemade paleo pizza), & since I can't afford to replace it, I may have to press pause on baking for a while.

🎧 Listening: Mariana Trench's entire discography on repeat, ending with their new album, Haven. My heart is not okay.

📺 Watching: Watching Big Door Prize & old Psych episodes while bae is home. Comfort-watching Buffy, Lost Girl, & Wynonna for the spooky vibes.

✍️ Doing: Working on posts for the month, rush-reading a stack of ARCs, & looking for work in the publishing industry (if you have any advice or leads, send them my way!).

🦇 Your turn! Let me know what you're up to in the comments below! Have a wonderful week, bookish bats!

Buck got Rack

To the tune of Baby got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot Sung by Vox to a rampaging Alastor (probably overheard Susan gossip)

Buck got Rack

[intro girls] Oh, my, god. Susan, look at his rack. It is so big. [scoff] He looks like one of those trophies. But, you know, who understands those tv demons? [scoff] They only talk to him, because, he looks like a total prostitute, ‘kay? I mean, his rack, is just so big. I can’t believe it’s just so pointy it’s like, out there, I mean— gross. Look! He’s just so… red!

[Verse 1: Sir Vox-a-Lot] I like big bucks and I can not lie You other demons can’t deny That when a deer walks in with a itty bitty waist And a rack with sixteen points You get sprung, wanna pull up tough 'Cause you notice that rack was sharp Up high those points he’s flaunting  I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring Oh buck, I wanna get with you Still got your photo My colleagues tries to warn me But that rack you got makes me so horny Ooh, Tail-o’-fluffy-red  You say you won’t have me on your show? Well, use me, use me 'Cause I ain’t that average groupie I’ve heard them screamin’ To hell with romancin’ He’s cruel, red, Got me goin’ like a geforce rtx (4090) I’m tired of News casts  Sayin’ pink spiders are the thing Take the average demon and ask him that He gotta pack much rack So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!) Has your buck got that rack? (Hell yeah!) Tell 'em to flaunt it! (Flaunt it!) Flaunt it! (Flaunt it!) Flaunt that shapely rack! Buck got rack!

[Chorus: Sir Vox-a-Lot] (Radio face with Monarch rack) Buck got rack! (Radio face with Monarch rack) (Radio face with Monarch rack)

[Verse 2: Sir Vox-a-Lot] I like 'em sharp, and big And when I’m throwin’ a show I just can’t help myself, I’m actin’ like a hammerhead Now here’s my scandal I wanna make a deal And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh I ain’t talkin’ bout a meal 'Cause my parts are made of plastic   You want that venison, thick and juicy So find that juicy double Vox-a-lot’s in trouble Beggin’ for a bite from that smile So I’m lookin’ at porn videos Bitches begging and dancin’ like hoes You can have them bitches  I’ll keep my bucks like Aly A word to my dear show host, I wanna get with ya You can bite or gore me But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna [moan] Till the break of dawn Buck got it goin’ on A lot of simps won’t like this song 'Cause them sinners like to run and hide from you And I’d rather stay and play 'Cause I’m new, and improved  And I’m down to get those upgrades  So, gents’! (Yeah!) Gents’! (Yeah) If you wanna be featured on the show (Yeah!) Then offer it up! Sign the deal! Even owned souls got to shout

[Chorus: Sir Vox-a-Lot] Buck got rack! Buck got rack!

[Bridge: Sir Vox-a-Lot] Yeah, bucky… when it comes to deer, 666 News ain’t got nothin’ to do with my selection. 15 inch waist? Ha ha, only if he’s 6'6".

[Verse 3: Sir Vox-a-Lot] So you interfere with my drones, playin' hard to catch on camera  But my camera got backups playin' you up on repeat My sharks they don’t want none Unless you’ve got deer, dear You can do talk shows or stand-up But please don’t disappear  Some demons wanna play that “hard” role And tell you that the smile ain’t gold So they run and they hide And I pull up quick to join in So Killjoy says you’re out Well I ain’t down with that! 'Cause your waist is small and your antlers are curvy  And I’m thinkin’ bout stickin’ To the beanpole whores in the pornos: You ain’t it, Miss Hoe! Give me a killer, I can’t resist him The jambalaya didn’t miss him Some knucklehead tried to diss 'Cause their souls are on his list He has game and he chose to eat 'em And I pull up quick to get wit 'im So gent’, if the rack is sharp, And you want a triple X throw down, Dial 1-666-VOXXX And kick them nasty thoughts Buck got rack! Buck got rack!

[Outro: Sir Vox-a-Lot] Little in the middle but he got a huge rack [4x]

Some notes:

Link to inspo (title is also a link)

Changed Becky to Susan

Ooh, Tail-o’-fluffy-red …. The og lyrics are “Oh, Rump-o’-smooth-skin”….

A stag with sixteen points and more is called a Monarch stag (he gets lots of points when he goes full eldritch/demon)

Changed 36-24-36 to 15 inch waist to be closer to vivziepop proportions. 15 inches is the world record for tight-lacing waist.

Changed 5'3" to 6'6" to be closer to vivziepop proportions ( Alastor is somewhere around 7 feet I think)
