Mind. Blown. Apparently the first time I read this book was in 2017! EIGHT years ago!! Which means I moved this book with me once in Australia, then moved it to the US, and then moved it 3 more times within the US!! This is craziness. Right off the bat I know I don't love this specific physical book enough to justify all that hauling it from place to place, at a significant cost. What the actual fuck.

Had a realization last night. I am keeping other people's favorite books - this is one of them. I like it but don't love it, and I already know I won't keep the hard copy, but this is a favorite of a book blogger I like and follow, so I kept it all these years, and in reality, I liked the movie more (gasp!). And I also kept a copy of Lolly Willowes for the exact same reason (different blogger's favorite book). Hmmm.

I completely forgot the laugh out loud moments in this book. It's pretty fun to reread, since I seem to have retained the details of the movie (I did watch it... Quite a few times) but not the book so I keep rediscovering the differences between the two. But I also feel like I'm in a too serious a mood to lean into the levity fully. I keep seeing the serious issues behind the jokes. Is it me? Probably.
