I finished voting in the new Raven Awards and I regret there wasn’t a None of the Above. I feel like a cheater voting in categories of which I’m clueless (like best animated – didn’t see either but had to play eenie-meanie-miny moe). Or, I didn’t want to vote since I didn’t care for any of the choices. Did my best.
I did see that The Nightingale is a movie you want to see. I didn’t even know there was going to be a movie version of it. I read it in our old book club a few years ago, and while I liked most of the book, the ending felt like this: “Hi! It’s your editor, Kristin. How’s The Nightingale going? Oh really? Well hey, the publisher needs the draft like YESTERDAY. Can you get us the copy today? You still have a bit to go? Ummm…they REALLY need it now. Okay, okay good. We’ll be looking for it this evening.” Because we all agreed the concluding chapters felt very rushed and left some questions. I hope the movie does better, but I’ll be passing on it because I know it’s going to be a tough, painful watch.
