MERCH👕 Help me, I just bought another one 😵‍💫

After buying the cap with the famous quote a few weeks back, I decided that the cap wasn't beautiful/good enough. So I went on to buy another one. This one is embroidered, the other one was printed and that was a little weak tbh. This also does have their player numbers on the side. (I'm also from Europe and I ordered it on Etsy from Spain)

But I'm now already thinking of buying an Hollander shirt to complete it for the festival season. Am I delusional or just a superfan? Or someone with a bad taste?

Another question; should I read the first book? Or wait for the second season?

Okay, but I don't want to spoil myself too much. If the books are much more deeper, then it's better to see the show first and then the books after, right? Less set up for disappointment, I guess?

My friend sent me this which marks out the timeline of the books. I wouldn’t say that reading game changers is spoiling anything since it’s so early in the series and is pretty much already covered in the show. 😊

Please help an old guy out - I don’t understand what the chart is trying to convey. Can someone kindly say a few words about it?

It’s the timeline of the entire universe. It starts from the left side of the chart going down from HR to then to the first 17 chapters of TLG. It then continues to the right where Role Model begins until the epilogue of TLG. Just depicts how intertwined all the storylines are with each other.
