I would love to discuss YA or Japanese lit with somebody! Though most things are fine honestly.

Well obv Mr Svenson, aka: Janitor from 3 episodes ago wasn't Black Hood, but I wonder if you could logic with the black hood that he should die or go to jail.

"You caused Fred Andrews a 86K medical bill that will fuck over his son. So uh, you should die?

Black Hood: *spontaneously combusts*

If we need more time, just let me know.

Oh god this book has strong second-hand embarrassment. I'm going to crawl in a hole.

You fucked up bad Jughead.

Also, Archie no! If we are gonna canonically mash names, you should not go after Betty, because Barchie sounds terrible. Worst than Varchie imo. Maybe pick a guy? Some of them probably have mashable names.

#Overdrive is forever a mystery to me.

Checkout a book or place a hold through my library's website- I won't get the book unless I use software.

Ask them to buy a digital book and place me on the hold list done via the website- I get the book???????

5. And of COURSE the sheriff and mayor are banging! They're in every scene together! Unless you're gonna introduce a new lady, it had to be her. Come on Betty, I thought you were a detective.

3. At first I was like "why the fuck is the black hood calling Pops to announce the test failure?" then I remembered Betty was there.
4. I am disappointed that the Sheriff Keller theory is being debunked, and if I get meta, the fact that Betty is so obsessed with it means that it's wrong, but I will point out that Archie's dad already showed you can fake logs. And we already know the handwriting doesn't match on the earlier stuff, could be 2 hoods.

1. I liked the idea of telling this episode from 3 perspectives.
2. Lol Kevin is a nerd. 😆

To add: I advise you do _not_ pick a book that came out in May or comes out in June due to YA waitlist backlog, but if you're excited and willing to buy it, you do you!

Hey- #YAMGBookClub

Let's open nominations for June before I forget. If you felt strongly about one of last month's, feel free to recommend it again, but don't recommend all of them! 😝

How about we move to the next stage by Monday?

Once again- if ideas are needed-

This one doesn't separate out YA/MG from everything else, so please check first if you take from it.

I read too much of the Poppy War yesterday. It's engrossing, but it uh, does not skimp on details of atrocities. I'm about 80% through now and I'm gonna take a break if I can. #YAMGBookClub

(How do I spin this into a positive...?)

Look, you normals! I'm _so_ into monstress I don't even _need_ volume 2! I just... I just go from volume 1 to volume 3! 😎

🤦‍♀️

Going through my stuff and facepalming.

I'm thinking today I should start going through my books to prune. Do... Do you start with the easiest or the hardest?

The setting doesn't seem to be a direct analogue to the Opium Wars, at least that I can tell? (looking at Wikipedia's page on those)

Also I like how cool the people are with a potion that destroys your womb.

Finally, damn those exams are brutal.

#YAMGBookClub

Library has clearly lost the book. I'm buying it instead 😩 #YAMGBookClub
