hello!! you probably already finished the wednesday wars already, so i wanted to ask how was it? favorite moments? least favorite moments? favorite / least favorite character? how emotional was it on a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being least and 10 being most)?
also, if you finished that book, please please please read okay for now written by the same author! this book focuses on doug, and doug’s story is way sadder and more tragic than holling’s.
Oh, I did!! I absolutely ADORED it!!!!! Gary D. Schmidt knows what he's about, which isn't surprising, I suppose, as I've read a book by him before! But STILL
Favorite moments... I really liked Holling and Meryl Lee's date, and the camping trip, too!! And when Lieutenant Baker came home😭😭 GORGEOUS ending to the book. OH and when we found out Holling's sister's name. I was THIS close to crying
Least favorite... other than the fact that I highkey hated Holling's dad for most of the book, I don't think I had one
Favorite character was probably Mrs. Baker. Look, I too relate to having a Wednesday off and being annoyed when that's threatened🤣 I also obviously ADORED Holling, and Doug Swieteck!!
Least favorite was Holling's dad, no contest (But I hated him less when I read Just Like That, the third book)
How emotional... a good 8 or 9, I'd say. GOSH I loved it!!
Oh my gosh, excellent news: my sister owns Okay For Now, so the MINUTE I finished The Wednesday Wars I read it. And holy COW I was bowled over. Just. Ouch. I really, really, REALLY loved the redemption arc vibes that Doug, his brothers, and his dad had. Even the Phy. Ed. coach did! Ohhhhh, and Lil my beloved
I also really liked how it was focused on the power of art, because I'm an artist!!
Anyways, thanks for the ask, anon!! Tell me, what did you think of The Wednesday Wars and Okay For Now? Who were your favorite characters? And have you read Pay Attention, Carter Jones, or Just Like That? They're both SUPER good, but SUPER sad

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

aziraphale and crowley try to perform the tiniest most unobservable fraction of a miracle together and they end up producing a massive burst of power so astonishing in scope that it sets off alarm bells in heaven where it can be seen as an enormous purple beam and radiates with a force twenty-five times the energy needed to raise someone from the dead. we’re told only an archangel could perform an act of such earth-shaking consequence which again is the result of them trying to exert their abilities in the subtlest way possible so can you imagine what they’re going to be like in bed? talk about the second coming. in this essay i will
