Book Geek, Très Chic

I love books, video games, films & television, and cats

It's 2am and I can't sleep, sat in bed minding my own business playing games on my phone when I hear the sound of food being eaten from the cat bowl. This might not seem unusual at first given that cats are nocturnal, however, my cat is lying down the side of the bed! I go downstairs and make it into the lounge just in time to see the rear end of a fat black cat disappearing out the cat flap. No wonder Harley doesn't seem to be growing when Hulk cat is coming in most evenings and stealing her food

This is Harley, she's only well behaved when she's asleep :3

Carrie Fisher and Gary - Star Wars: The Force Awakens Premiere at Leicester Square on December 16, 2015 in London.

So, this is important. Carrie Fisher has an invisible illness and disability - severe mental illness - and she’s been really open about it. Open to the point where she has her service animal Gary out on the press tours.

Yeah, a service animal. Not a guide dog, a therapy dog. Fisher has almost died because of her illness - and the reason she could DO Star Wars is because she has accommodations that work for her.

Everyone is talking about how Gary has stolen the show - but he is *important*. He is working. He is what she needs to go out and do this shit.

Next time someone with a disability asks for you to do something simple to accommodate them I want you to think of this. This is Princess Leia and this is her accommodation for her illness.

Okay, so I’ve seen a bunch of posts with Gary, and I just thought, hey, cool, Carrie Fisher just doesn’t give a fuck so she brings her dog along to stuff, which is awesome.

But now that I know he’s her service animal, that’s even better to me. She’s amazing.

I thought Gary was the storm trooper based on the original caption.

There is always time for you to look at a wonderful bookshelf. Namely, mine.

For a second - a second that lasts infinite seconds - he turns his face away from the wind to meet my eye. He smiles, he smiles without worrying about the gap in his teeth, he smiles in a way that I know: he is free.

I hate picking bath bombs. They look so colourful and pretty in the shop, I'm drawn to the one with a rainbow of colours. I get home, go for my nice relaxing bath and end up sitting in water that is horribly grey. I want pretty coloured baths, not sludge coloured water

Did you finish Feed? If not, I really hope you change your mind. There's a reason it's won the awards it has. The way it's written changes as the main character changes, until it's a very different book at the end. I've told people who said the same thing you did this, and they've finished the book and loved it. I just don't want someone to have that book in their hands and miss out on the experience I had with it, you know?

I never did finish Feed but seeing this message makes me want to give it another go

Poorly kitty is not happy with me :(

Solitaire

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that everything wasn't all rainbows and everything being perfect at the end. The girl getting with the boy hasn't solved everything, it's going to help, maybe, but that's not the cure.

"Patience can kill you." Her voice quietens to a near-whisper. "Waiting ... waiting for so long ..." She yawns. "But one day it'll end. It always ends."

The Infinite Sea

I definitely should have re-read The 5th Wave before reading this book as I struggled at the beginning to remember who everyone was and ended up having to Google the characters. I enjoyed the book but at the same time it feels like not a lot happened. We wait for Evan, he turns up, they get separated again, Ringer gets captured, essentially sleeps for a month and then escapes to be captured. I feel like I could go and read the next book in the series if it were out and not struggle to work out what was happening in the story.

My nose is broken,” I said. Damn that Dumbo. Made me self-conscious. “My ankle’s broken,” he said. “Then I’ll come to you.
