## Reading
|
|
I finished reading *Return of the King* this week, completing a long-standing personal mission to read *The Lord of the Rings*. I [wrote up a big long post](https://git.32bit.cafe/cassie/cassiedotink.git) with my history with the series and my thoughts.

I burned through *Ghost Boys* by Jewell Parker Rhodes in a day — it was adjuncting. I'm adjuncting at my local college in the fall — it's a course for future English teachers about young adult literature. I'm considering offering students a choice of this or *All American Boys*. Both deal with a similar subject matter, but *Ghost Boys* is better suited for middle school. I'd love to teach the book to my middle schoolers, too, but I think that will be an uphill battle...[^1]

## Watching
|
|
|
|
I've been rewatching *Downton Abbey*. I'm in season two right now; I'm debating whether to finish the series (I never watched past season five, I think) or if I'll stop when they kill off some major characters in season three. I am glad to confirm that I was always right: Mary is the main character and the best character.
