BBC Big Read List
Many years ago, I first started tallying the books from the BBC Big Read list, seeing how my reading and interests correllate. I don't take it as the "one truth" on which books are worth reading or "good", I just find it interesting which ones I agree with. Let's go!
Out of the BBC's "The Big Read" list from 2005, which ones did you read, plan to read or started to read, but didn't finish? The ones I read are fat, the ones I still want to read are in italics, the ones I started but didn't finish are crossed out and all the other ones I have either never heard of before or never wanted to read them.

Read: 57
Want to read: 60
Some of the books to read I know very little about except the title and that they're classics, some others I know a lot about (and I even have "Men at Arms" on my TBR pile for when the mood strikes me next). I like reading classics once in a while, but especially older ones I can't read too often, I need to be in the right mood for that style of writing.
The last time I updated this was in 2015 and I had read 44 and wanted to read 72 - so 15 books in 9 years xD Like I said, it's not a challenge or a goal to read all of them, just a convenient way of keeping track of which classics I want to read eventually.

Interests: I talk a lot about the American Civil War. I really like Gettysburg (1993), The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, and Soldiers Heart by Gary Paulson. I LOVE CHARLES E. GODDARD!! He’s one of my faves. I also find the Romanov’s interesting. I like playing Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2. I write fanfics, and sometimes post my shitty art on here.
I guess my persona is my pfp?? (Sam Elliott). So if you wanna draw me, you can draw me as my pfp. (One of my moots drew me as Sam Elliott so y’all can too)
My OC’s are: Oliver LeClerk, Robert “Buck” Crawford, Matilda Ellis, Francis Marx, Agatha Moore, Minty Bennet, and Augustus Douglas. (LeClerk and Crawford are from the 1970’s. Moore is a ghost that died in 1782 but haunts a bayou in Georgia. Ellis, Marx, Bennet, and Douglas are from the Civil War Era)

Of all the photos of Jamie at that event, the Coach Presentation for Menswear 2015, there is only one singular picture where Jess is visible. And it's barely half her face. Here are the pics:
Also, if you notice, there is a blonde woman sitting in front of Jess, also in the front row, next to Matilda.
This is a friend of Jess's, who she went with, Harriet Verney. A stylist, DJ, and writer/editor, at the time:
Harriet also did a write up for the Grazia Daily publication about the whole of Fashion Week, talking about how on Day 1 at this Coach event, she spoke with Jamie and Matilda, as she sat next to them in the front row:
Here is Harriet and Jess together at another event for Coach the following month, where it suggests that Jess was just...simply attending multiple Coach/fashion events, maybe with/maybe without Harriet, because they were both stylist/in the fashion world at the time:
Funny enough, Harriet now also has a creative agency, with a website just as bland and vague as Ice Studios, and Harriet is also not listed on the website:
Her LinkedIn also says she was a Talent Agent:
Just something I found interesting and fun to note for no particular reason. :)
So, anyway, final thoughts: She had a reason to be there that has nothing to do with stalking and that's when they first met, being introduced by Harriet, who was seated in the front row beside them.

Abner, Fethry's brother?
Oooh excellent pick. Abner/Whitewater is a funny character because he (like Matilda) is a recognizable part of the Duck Family despite appearing in barely any comics, he's just lucky enough to be featured in Don Rosa's duck family tree.
Brief explanation of Whitewater Duck: he's a Barks creation that was only in a few pages of his intro comic. Then Rosa included Whitewater in his family tree and decided that his real name is actually Abner and he's Fethry's brother.
(There's a lesser known German duck author who suggested Whitewater and Fethry are brothers a few years before Rosa did, but idk if Rosa was referencing that or if they both came up with the concept separately lol I have no idea how much contact there really was between duck authors from different countries back then)
First thing to note about him: he existed before Fethry did! Whitewater Duck had nothing to do with Fethry and was just introduced as one of Donald's mysterious cousins (Donald actually refers to him as a "distant cousin" so he probably wasn't supposed to be a first cousin in Barks' mind but whatever whatever)
good funny dialogue
we as a society should bring back using "lick" instead of "defeat"
Whitewater's second appearance is in 2004 when he and Douglas McDuck are hanging out (Douglas refers to Whitewater as his nephew, which is once again a reminder than nephew/niece/aunt/uncle cannot be taken literally in duck comics, they're just community terms)
(for those who don't know, Douglas McDuck is a Danish creation and a cousin of Scrooge's, only in maybe 8 comics, if I remember correctly his whole deal is that he's a gold digger who could only ever find fool's gold so he's got a bad attitude and really bad luck)
(Whitewater just walked into this saloon and started arm wrestling random guys)
this image of donald putting on boots is strangely cute
Whitewater has a fun personality I feel like people usually portray him as always grumpy but he seems like he's someone who finds a lot of joy in competition and masculinity
Okay so Whitewater's final comic was never translated into english but i've got it thanks to the french. Donald and Daisy are trying to win a picnic basket contest (idk) and Whitewater shows up with his new girlfriend...Donna Duck! Frequently headcanon'd to be Daisy's sister (not canon), Donna is Donald's ex from Mexico
this comic doesn't really add anything to Whitewater's character except that he's definitely the jealous type (no one is surprised)
(he and Daisy are both dressed as Donald 'cause they're both trying to trick Donna for jealousy reasons)
& that's it! There you have all of Whitewater/Abner Duck's appearances lol most of what fans say about Abner are just headcanon from what I can tell
