Summary:
“You see,” Edmund began, and all leaned in, visibly listening, “it wasn’t just romance that kept Lucy in Narnia. She is with Caspian, now, but she also had a – a vision isn’t quite right. She was shown a prophetic image in a magical book, and Aslan vouched, later, personally, for its truth. She acted as she did to attempt to divert what she saw, and I think we’d better do likewise, on our end. Here’s what you all need to know.”
Title: Father Christmas' fake beard
Author: Terry Pratchett
Language: English
Type: children's novellas
Genre: humour
1st release: 1968-89, collected 2017
Publisher: Doubleday
Length: 11 novellas, 175 pages total
(i think i got this one from the import bookstore?)
11 novellas, more or less about Christmas folklore, or at least midwinter shenanigans
Most of it was funny, yeah: it's pTerry.
Some ideas were later reused on the Disc?
But it was a younger pTerry, and for younger readers, so it's not as polished as the Disc.
And personally I'm not very fond of Christmas folklore so it wasn't *hilarious* to me.

After a morning of wondering if the seller would work things out with the title company in time, a lunch break full of signing lots of documents and asking questions about them (we got a refund on one of the fees, always good to ask), and an afternoon of wondering when our wire transfer would go through, suddenly a bunch of savings blipped away from us, and we were able to go pick up our house keys 😊
We went over tonight to get started on cleaning the place - it's been empty for a while, and it's covered in dirty footprints and spiders - and in the midst of thinking about a bunch of things that we need to fix up and work on, I stepped into the backyard for a break. A foggy moon was rising over the trees, and the yard was covered in fireflies that must be enjoying all the plants that were left wild, blinking so quickly it looked like the bushes were glittering.
It was a very stressful process, and there is a lot going on in general, but I feel really happy right now.
(And bonus, a big paper that we've been working on that represents two years of work got accepted today after our second round of revisions!)

Genre : familial
1ère sortie : 2025
Durée : 1h17
Où ? au cinéma juste moi ; un autre ami voulait le voir aussi mais n'a jamais répondu à mes messages
( Read more... )
C'est une jolie histoire quand même... mais la narration est pénible. Oui ok c'est normal d'être autocentrée à trois ans, mais cumulé avec l'attitude de l'auteure adulte, not seeing you beating the autism allegations.
Cute story, gorgeous animation, nerve wracking narration. I'm so fed up with Amélie Nothomb as an author, and yeah the character based on her is so fucking self-centered and haughty!! there's being a child and not knowing better, and being outright unsufferable.
