@rnrhamster.bsky.social Hello, I'd joined the #HotFrankSummer reading club back in June, but I can't access the feed at the moment. Was told to contact you since you're the feed owner. Could you please look into it?
Also, is there any centralized feed that I can follow to keep up with book clubs?

He's referring to the rockets corresponding to Slothrup's sexual exploits, I know, but to call someone a monster is pretty strong language, and it justifies his suffering and destruction. "Historically," makes it seem like a pre WW2 thing, too. After #HotFrankSummer, I'm sensitive to "monster."

It’s been a genuine thrill to read along with everyone in the #HotFrankSummer and #MrsD groups. I enjoyed reading the novels in a way I haven’t in decades. Thank you to everyone for your insights, and your encouragement to continue when I wanted to quit! Now I’m hooked. What are we reading next? 💐🔩

🔩 I keep meaning to post this here, the podcast “Phoebe Reads a Mystery” does classics (stuff out of copyright) at a rate of a chapter a day but you can listen at whatever rate you like if you’re exploring the back catalog.
And by here I meant #hotfranksummer

But could there be a *slight* possibility that Victor shared this motive, in creating the monster?
I'd like to know what you think #HotFrankSummer

I don't know if anyone frequents #HotFrankSummer anymore, but there's a discussion I'd like to have. (1/?)
Writing about Blade Runner 2049, Helen Lewis wrote the movie is "an uneasy feminist parable about controlling the means of reproduction".

I haven't seen it. It seemed like a logical step in my #HotFrankSummer journey but maybe I'll watch a version of MS's story instead.

Okay maybe someone in the #HotFrankSummer crew asked this and I missed it, but why the framing device of telling the story through Capt Walton? I have ideas but am confused. Please educate me! List of ideas below.

Black and white illustration showing the moment when Frankenstein's creation comes to life and Victor is shocked and about to run away
Finished #HotFrankSummer & really liked it! I read Dracula for the first time last year & while it's definitely a masterpiece I was surprised that I enjoyed Frankenstein quite a bit more. I wonder if that has to do with the community aspect of doing it on here? Regardless thanks all you 🔩 'ers!

A can of “Ishm-ale” from Moby Dick Brewing Company
I was saving this for the end #AMonthOfDick, but I fell too far behind. Same with #MiddleMarchMadness. But I managed to keep up with #HotFrankSummer every day, so now I’m celebrating finishing all three books. 🐋 🛖 🔩

I imagine Walton's poor sister shouting at this letter "do not attempt to hunt and kill a monster on the instructions of a hot madman, Walton!", knowing that that even if she sent her reply that day it would come months too late. Victorian letter-writing is rough, y'all. #HotFrankSummer 🔩

Walton inquiring *how exactly* Frankenstein created the fiend is the perfect example of a dude missing the point #HotFrankSummer

A nice neat stack of very good condition paperback copies of Elena Ferrante’s four Neopolitan Novels.
Am I traveling with limited luggage space? Did I walk into a used bookstore and buy the entire Neapolitan Novels series anyways? Yes. Yes I did. 📚 #booksky
(Is this brain why I’m behind on #HotFrankSummer? Also yes. 🔩)
