Books of 2024: June Wrap-Up.

Okay, y'all have Convinced Me--I'm going to start doing little wrap up posts! Behold: a shelf of what I read in June (not pictured: the bookmark at page 466 of ORDINARY MONSTERS, because despite having read two (2) books worth of book so far, I'm still not quite done with that one).

June was kind of a slow reading month for me (I did a LOT of writing, looking back--nice). I wanted to take OTHER TERRORS and THE ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE a bite at a time so the horrors and figures of rhetoric (respectively) didn't all run together. Both of those, much like A SHINING, turned out to be pleasantly leisurely wanders, whereas MONSTERS is kind of a plod.

I already did bigger write-ups for TERRORS and SHINING, linked in the bullets below.

OTHER TERRORS - ★★★★ Great bite-sized horror anthology with a really inclusive mix, as promised! I enjoyed most of these (always nice in an anthology!)

A SHINING - ★★★★ Weird fucked up heavy little book in translation, lit-fic flavored, but very approachable, I thought. Tiny enough to swallow in a sitting, but also kind of exhausting to do it that way? I'll definitely reread this one in the future.

THE ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE - ★★★ Fun romp through rhetoric! The examples were fun, and I appreciated the humor, but I also find myself still uncertain what a bunch of the figures actually ARE, definitions-wise, despite having read a book full of so many of them (I did just buy his recommended A HANDLIST OF RHETORICAL TERMS to help with that, at least, which is. almost entirely. definitions by volume). Neat thing to have on my references shelf, but it wasn't as excellent as I was hoping it'd be.

ORDINARY MONSTERS - 466/658 pages read; will report back later (but it's not looking good, folks).

I don't totally know how all this works, but in the original LA breakdown looking for actors for the lead role in Talamasca, from June 2024, it said their start date was " September – December 2024". And the show started filming in early October, I believe, so it would seem that filming was on track there. So it doesn't seem like delays with Talamasca would have pushed back IWTV--so if IWTV was pushed back from the original date, it would have to be that their thinking about all the scheduling changed, which is possible.

I somehow thought that Talamasca was being talked about as a summer show, but was that just speculation? Because the only thing I've found a mention of is that they were planning it for late 2025, which would seem to indicate maybe early 2026 (probably Jan/Feb) for IWTV.

I do wish people (not you) would stop saying that it'll be two years between season though. If we're going from the end of s2 to a Jan 2026 beginning for season 3, that's 1.5 years.

Ah! I am so, so sorry for replying to this so late, anon, my inbox just keeps suddenly blowing up. I'm trying to get a bit better at answering older asks in topic blocks though, and so wanted to jump back on this one - but yes! From that, it doesn't sound like Talamasca was delayed.

I'm not sure if the summer 2025 release is a rumour, but it sounds like the late 2025 release could be / that it could be earlier? I just had a poke around, and found this article from late last year from TV Insider, who reached out to AMC for clarification:

There have been conflicting reports about when exactly the series will premiere. Deadline previously reported in June that The Talamasca would premiere in “late 2025,” but all releases from AMC regarding this series have just said it’s slated for a 2025 debut. More recently, various news outlets have said that it would premiere in 2025, others in late 2025. TV Insider has confirmed with AMC that 2025 is the only official premiere date detail. “Anne Rice’s The Talamasca (wt) is slated for a 2025 premiere on AMC and AMC+,” a series rep tells us.

So yeah, that leaves it pretty wide open. I imagine a lot of when they will release it will depend on how much they're doing with VFX and post-production? It's pretty hard to even use the other shows as a gauge given MW wrapped in April and premiered in January, but IWTV wrapped in late November for a May premiere, but if you base it on the latter, the summer release could make sense? I'd imagine that AMC would have it scheduled though, and the fact that they felt the need to move it away from the 'late 2025' window in their statement feels telling? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Doubting if i should still do a d.t.i.y.s, it may be easier to just do one at 500

also I need to start working on the inbox trick or treating drawings which means I have to come up with some fun potion ideas but I think it'll be fun trying to come up with them and make fun little designs.

I might make a couple of little potion bottle templates and then use those as a base and see what I can do from there

How it all started. Happy anniversary to this parasocial relationship, I guess.

June SplatOC has two different AUs where she gets to be angsty and drive the plot around herself but in her canon her biggest plot issues are "unmedicated anxiety" and "setups so cheesy they're too much for even the most obvious of romcoms"
