Isabelle liked Manny's review of Boy Swallows Universe:
Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton
"After reading the book, I'm glad to see the TV mini series kept true to the storyline.
There's parts of the narrators writing that I found a bit too flowery ;)

"You're not a pussy. Don't you ever be ashamed of crying. You cry because you give a shit. Don't ever be ashamed of giving a shit. Too many people in this world are too scared to cry because they're too scared to give a shit."

Can't argue with that."

“But Jyn had turned to him from the control panel looking like the last survivor of a war, and she'd smiled in a way he'd never seen before. It hadn't been a smile predicated on anticipation or courage, or one touched by sadness or doubt; just a smile so ordinary it seemed to change Jyn from a hero out of a myth into a woman he might have known and understood.

He hadn't known her, didn't know her, of course. There wasn't the time.�


"With one second left until total shutdown, K-2SO chose to mentally simulate an impossible scenario in which Cassian Andor escaped alive.

The simulation pleased him." ]]> ReadStatus9492551327 Sat, 31 May 2025 17:24:17 -0700 <![CDATA[Isabelle started reading 'The Good Wife of Bath']]> /review/show/6684698837 The Good Wife of Bath by Karen Brooks Isabelle started reading The Good Wife of Bath by Karen Brooks
