When We Were Infinite | Kelly Loy Gilbert

pick

This is superior YA. Beth, a talented violinist, tries to negotiate her final year of high school while also coping with pressures at home, mental health, an absent father, and her feelings for one of the members of her core friend group. This is a beautifully written book which really captures that moment in time just before everything changes. Excellent.

This was quite slow, but I appreciate the way it shared depression and mental health. It's like you're learning through the character. #ya #contemporary

When We Were Infinite | Kelly Loy Gilbert

Ugh, I really thought I would like this one but it fell flat for me. I was bored and really didn‘t like the main characters. At least the cover is beautiful!

Robin | Dave Itzkoff

Robin at Juilliard, rehearsing for a production of A Midsummer Night‘s Dream.
Why do I feel like he‘s a sort of perpetual Puck (aptly, also named Robin)? I can‘t imagine how amazing it would have been to see him do Shakespeare. It would have been brilliant!!!

Graywacke Awesome picture. (Brings a new perspective to Dead Poet‘s Society.) 5y

GingerAntics @Graywacke I think a lot of people said that was the movie where Robin was most Robin (at least up to that point). I really need to see that movie. He did a lot of Shakespeare, which is really interesting. 5y

Graywacke @GingerAntics hmm. He is calm in it, and I always imagine him animated. But he is really good in the film. My daughter said she watched it because it was on Netflex, she was bored and she wanted to know how terrible it was - and then really enjoyed it!! So she got us all to watch it with her recently. 5y

Graywacke @GingerAntics it would have been something to see him perform some of these Shakespeare roles. 5y

GingerAntics @Graywacke I‘ll have to check Netflix. I know I checked Hulu for his roles, but maybe I didn‘t check Netflix. I would love to see it. 5y

readinginthedark Definitely watch it! I love almost all of Robin's movies, but Dead Poets' Society will always hold a special place in my heart. If I remember correctly, it's based on a book, but don't quote me on that. 5y

GingerAntics @readinginthedark the movie was first and then they made it a book. I already checked on that. I checked Netflix and they have Good Will Hunting now (another of my favorites of his) but no more dead poets society. Hulu doesn‘t have it either. I definitely need to see this thing. May have to go to Vudu at the end of the month. 5y

readinginthedark Interesting! I always find books after movies to be strange. It doesn't translate well that way, I feel, but I haven't read this one, so 🤷‍♀️ 5y

GingerAntics @readinginthedark for some reason is does feel like it should be a movie based on a book. I went looking, but the only thing I found was the novelisation. It did have good ratings in Apple Books, though. Maybe they‘ve done a fairly good job on it, then. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y
