i fucking hate when fanfics act like brennan wasn't satisfied sexually before booth came along lmaoo friendly reminder that girlie gets AROUND! in the pilot pete talking about how great she was in bed, i think if she was willing to sleep with michael stires more than once he must have been pretty good (ALTHOUGH he turned out to be the biggest motherfucker on earth), she has that thing with mark (?) in season 4 and she called the sex with sully amazing. do i think she and booth have great sex? i mean yeah, very probably, but also, this is NOT her first rodeo... and booth is NOT a sex god

REVIEW
The Teacher by Tim Sullivan
DS Cross #6
Excellent addition to the series ~ Made me thankful I did NOT go to a school with a headmaster like the one in this book!
What I liked:
* DS George Cross: brilliant, diligent, tenacious, has Autism Spectrum Condition, plays the organ, close to his father (Raymond), very literal, doesn’t grasp undercurrents or jokes or sarcasm, intriguing, focused, excellent detective
* DS Josie Ottey: George’s work partner, widow, mother of two teenage daughters, relies on her mother for childcare, deals with mother-daughter tensions across three generations, patient, kind, and a good fit to work with George
* DCI Ben Carson: in charge-supervisory position, more comfortable in the office than working crime scenes, new father, focused on his future, maturing and showing growth as a person in this book
* The police procedural aspects of the story
* The twists and turns and George’s ability to see each clue that proves someone is not the culprit as a positive rather than a negative outcome
* Alice Mackenzie: police staffer, in a relationship with Dr. Michael Swift, strong, resilient, survivor, is assaulted and presses charges against her attacker
* Dr. Michael Swift: bright, professional, thoughtful, rather taken with Alice, gave testimony that saved an innocent man, noticed for his height
* The intricate plot, deliberate pacing, small town setting, and excellent writing
* Seeing how those that are related to and supportive of George are coming along in the series
* The way all of the threads are tied together, the sexual predator and the murderer are caught
* All of it except…
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about the damage done to so many in boarding schools when corporal punishment was the norm
* Having to wait for the next book
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Aria & Aries-Head of Zeus for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB
He's a victim. But is he innocent?
THE BODY
In a village in South West England, an elderly man is found dead in his home. The angle of his neck says he fell down the stairs. The stab wound on his body tells a different story.
THE EVIDENCE
In the weeks before his murder, Alistair Moreton changed. He usually kept himself to himself, but people swear there was someone in the house when they checked on him, that there was a reason he wouldn’t let them inside.
THE PUNISHMENT
Moreton made people’s lives a misery, from his neighbours to his ex-pupils. While DS George Cross’s list of suspects is long, every victim deserves justice.
But in all of Alistair’s years, there was something important he never learned:
If you go through life making enemies, don’t be surprised when they teach you a lesson.

as a collector & Juliet bootlegs, i love seeing differences in different casts. the main one i'll be talking about here is london vs broadway maycois kiss.
(@catboyrichardkarinsky made the london cast gif)
i dont know how to explain it but in the london cast, it's fully Frankie. May is just standing there and then he kisses them. May doesnt really know how to respond. in the broadway cast, May steps forward, and kind of melts into the kiss. i dont know. just. oh my god. i love this show
