Mini Crossword #37

Bon appetit!

1A / 5A: ||"Tears through books"; anag. (weirdo) "a depressed"||

4A: ||"Submerge"; BAT ("club") + HE ("that guy") ||

1D: ||"Blade"; anag. BEARS||

2D: ||Double definition: "Over-the-top" (slangily, if someone's "extra" they're being melodramatic or over-the-top) and "Actor in a minor role"||

3D: ||"Rubbish"; anag. (rubbish) of GRADES - A ("the highest grade")||

Thanks! Wasn't certain about how 3D worked; nice of you to provide explanations.

I got stuck on 1a/5a, because "a depressed weirdo" obviously has to be merlin/nimue but as always i don't quite fit in... well anyway thanks for the puzz and the shoutout

Appreciate it-- let those who haven't been a depressed weirdo tearing through books throw the first stone!

I mean, you're not on this website if that's not been you, right?

I feel like this was particularly tricky for me, but very fun! Loved the double fill for 1A / 5A, which was extremely satisfying to figure out.
