@WRGingell You know, I have this phantom memory of watching part of a film starring a baby-faced Helena Bonham Carter, but I could never remember more than that. Mystery solved?

Nothing I write will ever be as dramatic as an episode of Perry Mason playing in another room of the house.

me: looking up synonyms for "confess"
thesaurus: "unbosom oneself"

am now torn between hating this and desperately wanting to see it in context. any context, really.

@MissLCrandall @kathycowley *whispers* we don't talk about it, Lisa

jkjk, I was never able to sit through all of it, but I had friends who felt the same way you do

"Is Persuasion (2022) the WORST Austen adaptation EVER?!?"

Some of you have never seen Northanger Abbey (1987), and it shows.

[Kate Stradling @katestradling]

@kathycowley We must never speak of that one

[Kate Stradling @katestradling]

@KavalAuthorActs Agreed. It throws me every time I see it.

However, there's also no good alternative. The "c to ck" rule (that takes "picnic" to "picnicking," for example) should apply, but "arcking" is awful.

[Kate Stradling @katestradling]

It will forever annoy me that the present participle of "arc" is spelled "arcing"

[Kate Stradling @katestradling]

@RenatheReader There is no good alternative 😭

[Kate Stradling @katestradling]

@BooksByIntisar Your kids have good filmmaking instincts. The stuffies' introduction made this next-level 😁

[Kate Stradling @katestradling]

@BooksByIntisar I love this!! Congrats on such a beautiful edition (and such a fun reveal)!
