Naomi and Jan BR thread

[Jan]

Starting!

[nαомι]

me too!

[nαомι]

ok so reading all these real people names is wild lol but I love it because I don't have to make up the character's appearances in my head

[Jan]

Right!

[Jan]

Also didn’t realize Ronan Farrow had any relation to Hollywood so that’s juicy. He grew up around this mess. My mom interrupted me so I’m only on like page 45😭

[Jan]

But this is so sad and real and :((((

[nαомι]

What chapter are u on? Because I'm on the ebook so it has a billion more pages than the what goodreads says lol

[Jan]

Yeah I hate that😩 depending on your screen you have so many pages

Chapter 9!

[nαомι]

ok! I'm starting 11 so we're not that far away

[Jan]

Im finally on 13, the last one of this part if I’m right lol slow but steady🥲

[Jan]

Just finished :(((

[Jan]

The fact that this is like some crime drama is insane. The fact that Harvey found out he was investigating and was able to get info on Ronan as well as somehow getting his boss to want him to stop the stodgy is wow

Too much power

I just realized that the book has 6 parts and the HBO series also has 6 episodes? I think I'm going to watch the first one to see if they match up

[nαомι]

oh wait, the book only has 5 parts ooops

[Jan]

I don’t think they do because the titles on the episodes. I think the episodes focus on different people but maybe. Because it says the reports, the assistants, the producer blah blah blah. But the first says the wire, so it might be that story that’s mentioned in this first part with the police and her wearing a wire.

[Jan]

Yeah I think it’s a little different. Like a BTS type vibe or showing how it all came together. Just in case it talks about future stuff I’m gonna just be safe and watch after 😂

[Jan]

It’s not fiction it’s irl so I guess spoilers wouldn’t matter 😂 but still

[Jan]

I can’t believe the amount of money people pay to not get exposed. I’m still… reeling. Geez.

[nαомι]

It's still kind of a spoiler since I don't know about any of this so I'll wait until we're done also

I guess when you're rich, it's not that big of a deal? It'd be like if we were buying a small coffee lol

I guess because when it was like “he gave her one million with the NDA” I was like !?!? ONE MILLION DOLLARS!? Just casually?

[Jan]

When people say money is power these are prime examples truly!!

Because without the money to do all these settlements and NDAs and donating money to campaigns… he wouldn’t have gotten away with this for nearly as long as he did

[Jan]

May or may not be late today for this! I have a quiz and two assignments due at midnight !! so I'll be here once I do them

[Jan]

because of the time difference I don't mind if you start before me obviously but I prob won't be able to start until 9:30 closer to 10 and that's if I focus lol

[nαомι]

ok! don't worry, I'll still be wide awake since I just woke up lol

[nαомι]

lmao I remember one time my friend and I were talking about celebrity net worths and Jeff Bezos has like 200 billion dollars and then we looked up some actor's net worth and it was 30 million and I was like "wow he's poor" lmao
liike, I'm not rich but for a second there I kind of had rich people mentality

[nαомι]

so 1 Million for an NDA really is nothing for them

[Jan]

Okay I had to wash my hair and I'm deep conditioning so I'm here now lol so sorry!!!

[Jan]

and yeah but its just so insane 😭😭 like wealth is so weird to think about when you think of the different levels

[Jan]

hopefully can finish this before midnight bc I stop counting for my 100 pages per day at midnight lol anddd I have not read today, maybe 10 pages of 9 perfect strangers lol that's it

[nαомι]

hiii

[nαомι]

did you finish part 2?

[nαомι]

I fell asleep again until today at 10 lol I guess my body wasn't done resting 😭😭

[nαомι]

also I just found out that they made One of Us Is Lying into a show?! And it has like 8 episodes already

[Jan]

Totally fine lol and we can take a break today so that you can catch up if you'd like!

[Jan]

yeah I saw the trailer when it came out and idk it didn't seem amazing to me so I haven't made it a priority to watch maybe one day😂 as you can see I rarely end up actually watching movie/tv adaptions even though I always say I will

Bc I think Gone Girl and The woman in the window are the only ones I've watched so far that I can think of. Still haven't even watched YOU.

[nαомι]

Yes please!

[nαомι]

lol I've procrastinated on the third season of YOU since it came out but I've been seeing so many memes that i really want to watch it now

[nαомι]

But I've been busy watching/complaining about the Gossip Girl reboot lmao

[nαомι]

but I only have one episode next so I'm thinking which show I'll start next

[Jan]

Works for me we can start back tomorrow and it means I get to binge a little bit of nine perfect strangers after my second test lol today has been....😵

[Jan]

haven't even watched the first😭😭😭 so behind

[Jan]

Criminal minds is my background show aka the show I watch while doing hw or anything that doesn't require full attention lol so until I get sick of it that's what I watch most days and I only watch other things on the weekend if that😭 I have a hard time just sitting and watching tv, but I also don't like to not be focused on a new show when I watch is so..... I just don't watch new shows because I can scroll on TikTok or color and do other crap while I watch criminal minds bc I know most episodes by now😅 only forget one here or there

[nαомι]

Yesss, I normally rewatch the same shows also, but sometimes I watch an episode or two of a new show before bed, but like you, I'm also playing some game or texting at the same time

[nαомι]

I'll start part 2 in like 30 min!

[Jan]

Sorry I'm here lol was squeezing in dinner and my 100 pages

did you finish? 😌 what'd you think? it's getting intense lol

[Jan]

I always seem to have the opposite opinions of the people I follow when it comes to "controversial" books aka just books most people either love or hate

Like everyone I followed hated Anxious People and I loved it. Now I'm reading Nine Perfect Strangers and like all the ratings I saw were like 3 and under and I was like 😅 but I'm actually liking it? Like 4 star maybe 5 depending on where it goes like. I guess we'll see how the second half of it is since I'm only halfway in lol some books go downhill after a strong start.

yeah, I think it's interesting, even though it's not my usual book type lol and it definitely takes me longer to read than our normal books 😩

I have the same problem most of the time! I kind of feel that with hyped up books, it's just people high on the hype lol. Because it has happened to me that something is hyped and I'm like omg this is the best thing I ever read and then months later, I'm like wtf was that
