Back in the days after I'd started keeping a list of all the books I read each year but BEFORE I started posting reviews of them, I kept desultory personal notes (ranging from a single word to quite a few paragraphs) on some of the books. And I always vaguely forget I have, and forget where exactly to find them, and I'd like to just have them on my dw so they're FINDABLE again for me. And also some of you might find these interesting/amusing? (N.B. some of these contain what I would now classify as INCORRECT OPINIONS.)

SO HERE'S THREE YEARS' WORTH OF BOOKS IN ONE POST, OKAY GO.

Romeo es Julia is the Hungarian version of the French musical based on Shakespeare's play based on earlier versions of a similar story. I have never before in life cared at all about this story or the characters in it but either I am a sucker for musicals or the Hungarians did an exceptional job (or both) because SO MANY FEELS OVER EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. AAAAAAAHHHHHH.

cut for spoilers? I suppose? Or something? )


In vaguely related news, I really want to watch the Hungarian version of the musical Elisabeth now. Apparently one of the main characters is a darkly sparkly bisexual personification of death? WOW I AM SO THERE. I would worry over how into personifications of death I am except for how I have no desire to actually meet any of them myself....
