Library Book Sale Haul!

I feel bad because I forgot to do one for the last sale a few months ago, but I went twice this time and came home with some really great finds!

(tagging my book buddies @televinita and @simplyshelbs16xoxo )

1. ‘Pride & Prejudice’ and 2. ‘Northanger Abbey’ by Jane Austen

I read P&P years ago, but I’m a sucker for a Penguin edition (would be cool to get a full, matching set of all her books), and Northanger Abbey is one of the last Austen books I haven’t yet read, so I’m looking forward to that!

3. ‘Perfume: The Story of a Murderer’ by Patrick Süskind

Heard a lot about this one, and it sounds very creepy! Very excited to get into it.

4. ‘Beautiful Cigar Girl: Mary Rogers, Edgar Allan Poe, and the Invention of Murder’ by Daniel Stashower

This sounds like one of those fictionalized non-fiction books that tells a true story but reads like a novel, and any story involving Edgar Allan Poe and murder is an instant buy for me.

5. ‘The Teleportation Accident’ by Ned Beauman

Somewhat bizarre summary got me intrigued. It sounds like the kind of book that’s hard to explain, you just have to read it, so we’ll see how that goes.

6. ‘Bones of the Moon’ by Jonathan Carroll

Bought because of the cool cover and because I’d like to read more 80’s sci-fi, though I’m always wary when it comes to male authors of that era because the writing tends to be extremely misogynistic. Not sure if I should be more or less comforted by the fact that the main character in this one is a woman.

7. ‘Jane and the Wandering Eye’ by Stephanie Barron

From a series where Jane Austen solves murder mysteries, and how could that not immediately grab my attention?

and 8. ‘The Stargazer’s Sister’ by Carrie Brown

Bought 90% because of the beautiful cover and 10% because I vaguely remember adding it to my Goodreads to-read list ages ago. Sounds like an interesting period piece!

Not pictured: ‘Murder on the Titanic’ by Jim Walker because my mom (who has a sort of hyperfixation with the Titanic) immediately asked to read it lol.

if you're a white person taking pleasure in the idea that Trump voters of colour are experiencing racist violence from white trumpers because "they got what's coming to them" I don't think you're anti-racist at all, I think you were just waiting for an acceptable target, and you're also fucking weird.

Bad Person Deserves Punishment For Their Sins give me a fucking break and get yourself out of the fucking catholic church. you're all prison abolitionists until you see someone you don't like.

Danny Is An Alternate Version Of Ra's Al Ghul And Flash Already Called Dibs On Adopting Him

Danny In All His Sleep Deprived Slightly Scuffed Up From A Fight Glory Is On His Way To Clockworks Tower To Hopefully Get A Nap And Maybe Some Homework Done When A Natural Portal Opens Up In Front Of Him And Proceeds To Unceremoniously Drop Him In The DC Verse Just Outside Of Central City Before Promptly Closing Leaving A Tired Danny Behind In A Run Down Abandoned Parking Lot.

It's Times Like This When Danny Regrets Putting Off Learning How To Make His Own Portals, Cause Now He Is Very Much Stuck For The Foreseeable Future And He Has No Idea Where Or When He Is. Luckily For Him However Central City Isn't Too Far Away, Unlucky For Him However Is That Once In The City He Realizes This Isn't His Dimension. He's Pretty Sure He'd Remember Something Called The Justice League.

So What Do You Do When Supernatural Bullshit Fails You? You Fall Back On Your Mad Scientist Roots And You Make A Portal Gun. So That's Exactly What Danny Plans To Do.

Unfortunately Staying Alive And Building Questionably Safe Portal Technology Requires Money And Supplies, So He Ends Up Wandering From City To City Doing Odd Jobs/Fixing Up Busted Tech For Cash Or Unwanted Electronics For His "Operation: Get Home" Needs. This Obviously Ends In A Few Superhero Encounter Shenanigans.

Though He Always Ends Up Back Near Central City, Both On The Off Chance The Natural Portal Will Open Up Again And Because Out Of All The Superheroes That Apparently Exist In This Universe The Speedsters Are His Favorite (Red Robin Is Solidly His Second Favorite Ever Since The Gotham Vigilante Gave Him A Large Coffee Filled With Enough Caffeine To Kill A Man).

Unbeknownst To Danny However Is That Every Hero/Vigilante He Has Encountered Has Come To At Least One Of The Following Conclusions; 1. Run Away Meta Who Is In Desperate Need Of A Good Meal/Adoption Bait. 2. Possibly Red Robin/Tim Drake Clone 3. A Good Kid But Could Possibly Be A Future Rouge If Left Unsupervised. 4. Did Bats Get A New Kid And Why Is He Here?

All Flash Knows Is That He Saw The Kid First And Therefore Has Dibs. Suck It Bruce.

Fast-forward A Few Months And Danny Gets Hurt During A Rogue Attack While Trying To Help Some Civilians Get To Safety (Old Hero Habits Die Hard (Ha Die Hard) And All That Jazz) And He Nopes Out Once Everyone Is Safe And When The Paramedics Are Busy With Other People Unaware He Left A Blood Sample Behind.

One DNA Test Brought To You By Paranoid Bat Concerns Of A Possible Red Robin Clone Later And They Find Out That Dannys DNA Matches One Ra's Al Ghul.

They Now Think Danny Is An Escaped Ra's Al Ghul Clone.

Starting to think many don't really know what a filler episode is if they think all of these are filler. A filler episode isn't just a one-off story, but normally something that just feels like it is utterly forgettable and disposable and mainly there to fill out the schedule because the writers didn't have any better ideas. Episodes like Move Along Home, The Storyteller, Second Sight, The Muse, Let He Who Is Without Sin, Resurrection, Profit and Lace, etc. The type of episodes many will just skip on a rewatch.

I feel like someone who worked on Duck Dodgers just really liked dressing X2 up in silly little outfits

This isn't even all of them. A lot of characters have had a few different outfits but they seemed to especially like doing this with X2. Like more than anyone else. Not that I blame them nor am I complaining.
