thank u to hozier for writing this song just for my book. spoilers for my book, the musical hadestown, and several millennia of greek myth:

imagine being loved by him, smh

true story: I was at a performance of hadestown a few years ago, there was a woman in the audience who clearly did not know how the story ended, because when orpheus turned around, she GASPED so loudly that the entire theatre could hear (I was up in a box very far away from her), and you could still hear her sobbing through the end of the curtain call, after "we raise our cups," after people started leaving their seats. I think about this at least once a week. it was such a funny and bittersweet moment. funny because everyone else in the audience knew what was coming, and it's rare that the ending takes someone that much by surprise. bittersweet because she was SO devastated (understandably), I think it's beautiful that the story and the cast were so deeply moving to her. I hope she is doing okay now!

anyway, some book things:

if you have been DYING to preorder my book but have been waiting for the right opportunity, barnes & noble is having a 25% off sale today on all preorders with code PREORDER25. you do have to sign up for their free membership, but in return you can save up to ones of dollars on my book.

as you can see from the video, I've gotten my advance reader copies, which I immediately used to create the world's most amateur stop-motion video. if anyone is interested in reviewing an early (free) copy, please let me know and I can send you one in the mail!

if you have no idea book what I'm on about, more info is here. in sum, I wrote a book that offers a modern perspective on the Greek myth of Eurydice and Orpheus through the eyes of a Korean-American woman who uses storytelling to try to connect with her brother and understand her family history. it's like a light beach read, only with a few details changed.

#ahhh this is so cute #I love it #memento mori #hozier #book #booklr #bookblr #tbr #read
