WARNING FOR GOOD OMENS SPOILERS!!!!

FURTHER SLIGHT SPOILER WARNING FOR THE FOLLOWING BOOKS: The Bone Clock by David Mitchell, You Only Call When You're In Trouble by Stephen Mcauley, and Bibliomaniac by Robin Ince.

Edit: Photos by @polychromicron-persei-8 !!!!!

So I'm sure a lot of the fandom have seen the pictures posted by a very lucky fan who saw the production of good omens happening out in Scotland today!!

However what I'm not seeing people talk about is a hidden gem in the reblogs.

SOMEONE HAD MANAGED TO GET A PICTURE OF THE BOOKS IN THE WINDOW!!!

Naturally, I had to go and do my research to see if these books give us any clues or serve any other purposes other than decorative purposes

AND LET ME TELL YOU

These are the the books visible in the window:

I'll go through them one by one

(Please bear in mind, I haven't read any of these books personally!! The only information I have on them are the little bits I found online in a very rushed attempt at research!!!)

Okay firstly

"The Bone Clocks" by David Mitchell

Now, this is the one that I struggled to make sense of the most out of the three.

The story appears to follow a runaway teenage girl who is a "lightning rod for psychic phenomena." These visions are said to reorder reality and send her into a real life nightmare.

However,

It also states that there is a boy who eventually crosses paths with her and who's story "comes together in moments of grace and extraordinary wonder"

As I said, I've never read these books and the only link I could begin to make with this is the idea of a "supernatural being meets another supernatural being and what they can do when they're together defies anyone's wildest dreams" story, similar to what we have seen and could see in GO3.

The next book is where it gets FARRRR more interesting (in my opinion)

NOW

THE TITLE? INTERESTING ASF.

IS AZIRAPHALE IN TROUBLE? OR EVEN CROWLEY?

The quotes are literally taken from the amazon listing itself, but I'll just point out the bits that stuck out to me personally.

☆ "is it ever okay to stop caring for others and start living for yourself?"

And I'm skipping a HUUUUGE chunk of the story here so apologies

☆ "Tom does what he's always done - answers the call."

☆ "Thus begins a journey that will change everyone's life and demonstrate the beauty or dysfunction (or both?) of the ties that bind families together and sometimes strangle them."

THAT LAST QUOTE REALLY STICKS OUT TO ME. Personally, I'd say that could possibly relate to the heaven and hell divides?

But furthermore, we were told prior to the whole NG situation that Aziraphale and Crowley aren't talking.. so could that mean that as soon as they begin speaking once again, they have the power to leave heaven and hell behind? Perhaps stop the divides?

And last, but certainly not least

Now, keep in mind that this particular book is nonfiction and appears to be written from the authors own point of view as he aims to visit 100 bookshops in 100 days.

This has a relatively short description from what I can see right now so I'll put it in here

"Bibliomaniac takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books - and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them.

It is the story of an addiction and a romance, and also of an occasional points failure."

This one interested me SO much because it SCREAMS Aziraphale character development sort of thing? You know?

I really struggled to find any spoilers for this one whatsoever but one website did mention the author's love for vintage books, which he only ever reads as and when, as opposed to focusing on just one book.

I just thought this was SO SO SOOOOO interesting, and if anybody has any differing thoughts/interpretations or has even read the books, the comment section is a safe space to do so!!! All theories/suggestions are welcomed (any hate WILL be blocked, don't test me).

OR MAYBE THIS ALL MEANS NOTHING AND IM JUST CLOWNING FAR TOO HARD?!??!??!

my greatest milgram sin has got to be the fact that there’s this one part in triage that reminds me of the crayon song very vividly and i can’t forget it whenever i listen to it

[ratatatastic]

ekky saying "i didnt know they were coming" in concerns to practise being open either suggest staff do not tell players when it happens (not fucking likely) or ekky just does not pay attention to anything at all which makes this paul quote

even funnier in retrospect and not a "pauls just joking around you know how he is" moment as he tends to do no this man just DOES NOT LISTEN???

[superm4ks]

anyways currently reworking savior and godDAMN is he soooo,,,,,,, my boy i love my boy. why does he literally combine the melancholic vibe of dust and then whatever the hell killer's got going on in his lore. hes literally so sad and emo and depressed but also has a perfect amount of i-dont-care-ness and built in commands,,,,,, hes so PERFECT my vision of this modernized savior is soooo amazing,,,,, none of you will be ready trust (hyping myself up over nothing)

i think its because i'm finally starting to THINK about my character's,,,,,,, characters?????? like before they were just concepts. i think. like just IDEAS and now especially for savior i'm starting to actually analyze his character and see where things go from there,,,, its sooooo fun i love this sosososos much,,,, now let's see if this streak of analysis will carry on for the 2 i still need to finish finish (crash and vice.SER my glitchy fuckass sons)

wheres that fuckig post about how booktok boyfriends are always hungry . and theres like a compilation of screenshots of cringe ass imagines w mafia boss werewolf boyfriends like eating a shirt or smth. am i insane

[galacticlamps]

very minor thing I still definitely deserve a medal for:

being raised catholic, and now as an adult repeatedly falling in love with characters that fandoms like to declare catholic, but still managing to reject those headcanons because at heart I'm too much of a stickler for accurate analysis to get behind them when i know the person in question is really meant to be anglican/episcopalian/whatever other flavor of christian

i am being, as the poets say, so brave about it

its weird that my general Living Situation with my mom made me very sick.... like obviously the black mold and lack of food etc but also just on a basic trauma/physical inactivity level that it was so painful to walk or do physical activity for the first six months after i moved out (and while living there obvs) bcuz my body wasnt being used and was functioning on the lowest possible level i was experiencing like muscle atrophy and losing my physical abilities

which i always feel shameful telling ppl bcuz it sounds like my fault for not doing enough physical activity or not eating healthy but like..... OBVIOUSLY it was more than just laziness bcuz nobody normal experiences the level of pain and fatigue that i did (and still do) like i couldnt leave the house anyway. mental torment. NO food or anything yet alone anything healthy and nutritious. the impact physical trauma has on the body is soo weird

anyway j was in a lot of pain and couldnt be physically active (which was also true before i was a teenager bcuz i was just a weak/sickly kid and naturally skinny along w/ malnutrition, was definitely more physically active when i went to school and did gym) as in like. i couldnt walk more than a block down the street without being out of breath and being in serious pain. Bcuz my body wasnt used to that level of activity anymore bcuz i couldnt leave the house usually

it was kind of pathetic but going outside more helped. im never gonna be the level of physically active/healthy that people who like go to the gym are bcuz im Just not doing all that sorry

but the mental exhaustion is still there bcuz i used to be able to do stuff EVERYDAY like go to school and sometimes even stuff after school. going out with friends. every single day and even on weekends!!! now i cant even imagine being able to leave the house more than a few times a week and its exhausting physically and emotionally, its genuinely traumatizing trying to build up the mental stamina that i had before when i was a kid. my brain is just so used to doing nothing and being alone all the time every single day that doing even One thing or going outside is complete sensory overload. not in a literal way but its just like..... there's so much?? i spent many months without ever going outside. i dont want to go back to that logically but also i kind of do?

the effects of long term abuse and isolation is weird u just want to go back to when it was easier even though it made you miserable. Bcuz that's easier than even trying to figure out how to do life again especially with nobody to help you! i want to read more books about this!!!
