I read voraciously, write occasionally, and take a lot of photos of food and cats. Queer, married, she/her. 🇨🇦

I ran all excited to buy this, only to discover that past me apparently pre-ordered last month. A present for my future self! Thank you very much.

I’ve bounced off Grossman’s works in the past, but I love post-Roman Arthuriana so much that I’ll have to give him another shot. Off to the library!

It’s one of her few novels really targeted at adults, and that comes through in the agonizing messiness of Artos’ relationships with Bedwyr (in the Lancelot & Bedivere role) and Guenhumara (Guinevere). If you’ve read THE LANTERN BEARERS, you’ll also recognize Aquila as one of Artos’ captains.

Rosemary Sutcliff has one of my favourite Arthur retellings in SWORD AT SUNSET, which takes the post-Roman Britain setting seriously and realistically; it’s also, rarely, written in a first person Arthur POV.

This show was startlingly good when I watched it a year ago, but YouTube only had up to episode 19. Is the whole thing up now?

Oh noooo. At least they were on a tray? But I bet the tray wasn’t salvageable.

The good news is I smelled the warm toasted muffin in time to rescue them, and the plastic container had warped but not melted. Nice sturdy plastic. Good job, Costco.

My previous tabby girl was barely interested in her own food, let alone ours, so I wasn’t at all prepared for the bread thievery. Good to know it’s not gender-specific though!

Our boy Paladin is extremely loving, which ALMOST makes up for his complete refusal to let us cook or eat in peace. I made miso brown butter rice krispy treats tonight and had to remove him from the counter upwards of a dozen times.

We’ve started keeping bread in either the microwave, the oven, or a lidded cast iron Dutch oven. Until we got a boy cat, I never knew obligate carnivores could also be carb fiends.

Please note that most NPCs are AI-powered. You only have to interact with the AI if you want to “befriend” the NPC for a weekly gift, but I’m not sure to what extent AI is used otherwise. The main characters & quests are thoughtfully human-written in my limited experience so far.
