Very unexpected UNC reference in a book about Victorians and dinosaurs... "Baseball fans bypass the fable that make the same point on a bumper sticker 'If God isn't a Tar Heel fan, why did he make the sky Carolina blue?'"

Cary, NC mentioned.

Chapel Hill mentioned. Maybe I'll start keeping a list of books that surprise me with their casual mention of UNC.

"I'd never seen a Tar Heels game in my life. I barely even knew what sport they played. And to be honest, the name kind of put me off. I didn't want tar on my heel and I didn't know why any one would."

Tar Heels mentioned!
"he wore a bright pink hoodie and a baby blue Tar Heels cap on his head"

TJR. sapphic yearning. I'm prepared to be destroyed.

I blame Haymitch for making me cave and finally read this one. *Insert gif of the Grinch saying "hate, hate hate, double hate, loathe entirely"*

As the saying goes... curiosity killed the cat!

I would personally like to thank the Barnes and Noble bookseller that put this one on the shelf 1.5 weeks before its pub date. May your pillow always be cold.

The theme of the books I've read in the last week seems to be an attempt to heal my former closeted queer teen heart. This one isn't stellar but is all warm and fuzzy.

If you’ve ever been told you’re less than because of your sexuality by someone in the name of religion, this book if for you. I’ll have more thoughts when I finish it, but right now, I’m sitting here with my emotions—trying not to cry on a train.
