dabbe I loved the movie with Angela Lansbury as the evil mother. I never tried the book, though, and now I definitely won't! 😂 21h
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe I think I'd rather watch the movie! 😱 The story sounds intriguing, but the writing is word salad galore 😖 Also--HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO YOU!!! 🎊💙🎊🥳💙 18h
TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 3h

Pickpick

Happy to finally get the next volume from the library, full of the expected heartfelt moments and truly absurd humourous moments, with the unexpected gut punch of Mission 91, which really got me. Starting with an event for wounded veterans bringing a number of characters together, it got heavy and eloquent in a way that stunned me: turning an argument about who lost what in the war, who deserves respect and who should shut their mouth, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/3 into a discussion of suffering and empathy, of the great leveller of grief, of the ways that it manifests, among them rage, the idea of accepting responsibility, but also forgiveness. I'm left to wonder if there's a cultural context or personal history of the author/artist that is evolving his work, but regardless I'm glad he decided to share this chapter in particular.
4d
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 Other highlights:
The handler admitting part of her latest visit in disguise is the desire to wear a nurse's uniform
Bond trying his best to metamorphose into different animals to impress a post-zoo-visit Anya
Character design for Grandpa Siggy + Anya finally catching a break when it comes to tutors
