The cliffhanger at the end of Strange the Dreamer was a gut punch. Especially when a satisfying ending was within our grasp.
Fine! I’ll read the second one.

I’ve had to turn the beep off on the printer. The dogs think it’s cheerful acknowledgment sounds are too threatening

With “The Final Empire” and “The Well of Ascension” behind me, I think I need a palate cleanser before book 3.

Not that book 2 was bad, but it didn’t reach the same heights the first did.

Finished ugly-cry reading “The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy” last night. It started slow but I couldn’t put it down towards the end. Of the two romance novels I’ve read, I definitely prefer the dual POV of this one 📚💙

Finally read “The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe” and my only takeaway is that a “looking glass” is not a magnifying glass — like I have assumed my whole adult life — but a mirror

Update on the millionaires shortbread:

I think we have narrowed it down to a “Malted Milk” or a “Ginger Nut” base.

Salted caramel and chilli chocolate are a given at this point.

Live Controversy: In our theoretical 'Muppets: The Lord of the Rings' there has been suggestion that Big Bird should play Gandalf. I'm still pushing my 'Swedish Chef' casting (because I think it would be hilarious if no-one could understand a damn word he says) but I'm outnumbered so far

On book 5 of “The Murderbot Diaries” and I am loving them. Each one so far has been a captivating (and reasonably short) story that I can’t put down app.thestorygraph.com/series/12

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

I made millionaires shortbread, but I replaced the shortbread with Hobnobs. A touch too rich

The Victoria in Woolston dates back to the 1850s. Local artist Slam Daniels painted this magnificent Spitfire mural earlier this year. The pub is situated around 600 yards from the factory where the Spitfire was designed and first built.

If you put egg boxes at the back of your bookshelves, you can fit twice as many.

Now you have an excuse to buy more books! #booksky
