People have told me I have a very expressive face. I have no idea what they mean by that. But i has a blast playing Florence Gill, the “mouthy little one in pink,” and I’m so excited and honored to be nominated for a Sara Award! #drood #themysteryofedwindrood #edwindrood #saraawards2019 (at Melon Patch Players) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz2zlCNA534/?igshid=8eygx8xffiyk

«‘There is my past and my present wasted life. There is the desolation of my heart and my soul. There is my peace; there is my despair. Stamp them into the dust; so that you take me, were it even mortally hating me!’» (Chapter XIX: Shadow on the Sun-Dial) ~ «‘… If it be bad to idolise you, I am the worst of men; if it be good, I am the best. My love for you is above all other love, and my truth to you is above all other truth. Let me have hope and favour, and I am a forsworn man for your sake.’» (Ch. XIX) ~ #Finished: #TheMysteryOfEdwinDrood by #CharlesDickens. • Rating: 8/10 • *spoiler alert* #EdwinDrood disappears and is assumed killed, causing a sensation. Shortly before disappearing, Edwin and her fiancée #RosaBud have broken off their engagement. #NevilleLandless, who argued with and attacked Edwin for his secret infatuation for Rosa, and Edwin's opium-addict young uncle #JohnJasper, also in love with and later pestering Rosa, are the main suspects... While the valiant and friendly #SeptimusCrisparkle advocates for the former's innocence, #MrGrewgious, Rosa's dutiful and wary guardian, tries to protect the girl. Also, #DickDatchery, introduced late in the novel, is revealed to be investigating the case... I believe neither Neville nor Jasper is directly connected with Edwin's loss. #Dickens has included many obvious red herrings, and too obvious suspects that seem misleading in the #novel, which could've been one of the greatest murder mysteries ever written with a totally unpredictable ending, if he had been able to complete. ~ This edition also includes "The Trial of John Jasper", a 1914 play NOT by Dickens, which I may read later as it seemed uninteresting and sort of absurd. ~ «‘… as I say, it don't do to boast of what you are; but show how you came to be it, and then you prove it.’» (Ch. IV: Mr. Sapsea) ~ «‘… there can be no coolness, no lassitude, no doubt, no indifference, no half fire and half smoke state of mind, in a real lover.’» (Ch. XI: A Picture and a Ring) ~ #MysteryOfEdwinDrood #JackJasper #HelenaLandless #MrSapsea #englishnovel #victoriannovel #book #books #bookstagram #literature #bibliophile #reading #read #bookworm #instabook #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/CVpDun5sOWd/?utm_medium=tumblr

New books I bought in the past week. Besides the humble additions to my comic book collection and my Dickens collection, there are four Chekhov plays, which are the first Chekhov works in my personal library. His birthday is getting closer, and that widely-acclaimed Russian writer definitely deserved a birthday post, so I thought it would be a good idea to buy his best-known plays. I'll definitely buy his short story collections as well! ~ The two volumes of "Gizli Savaşlar" are the collections of the twelve-issue series of "Secret Wars" (1984-1985), the first major crossover event in Marvel's comic book history. ~ #newbooks #TheMysteryOfEdwinDrood #EdwinDrood #CharlesDickens #TheSeagull #UncleVanya #ThreeSisters #TheCherryOrchard #AntonChekhov #comicbooks #MarvelComics #SecretWars #SecretWars1984 #GizliSavaşlar #HouseOfM #comics #bookhaul #novel #book #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #reading #read #booklove #instabook #literature #bookworm #booknerd #classics https://www.instagram.com/p/B7xy-DCAd4fSGWGb-ri9emrcwqcPvOioDxdEQw0/?igshid=k49ff2m586k3
