Interestingly, The Secret History wasn't remotely what I thought it was going to be. I was familiar with Jean-Pierre Pecau et al's Secret History, a story about four immortals shaping history across the ages; and I'd just assumed that Tartt's book of same name was the source material for that comic.

Book 37 of 2025:
The Secret History (1992) by Donna Tartt, performed by Donna Tartt (2023).
This felt like the legacy of The Talented Mr Ripley, a book where the murder midway was prosaic and necessary to the narrative but ultimately the least interesting part of the book.

I ALMOST put that one bc I actually like it more than Delicatessen. I even did it in a pumpkin back in 2003.

We played two brainbuster matches of Scales Of Fate on our date tonight. One win to me, one to Michelle. Really cool game 😊

This is it. The chapter where Golden Kamuy becomes Golden Kamuy. Utterly and perfectly unhinged.

Oh, and here's the pencils you *love*. Everyone gets six, and the colors are important.
(I think Yellow was a design flaw though bc it's pretty hard to see.)
Also, the scratchers above are incredible bc they don't look like scratchers at all.

Tend (a flip-and-write) is farming/fishing/mining/woodcutter sim (think Stardew Valley without dungeon crawling and where the only romance is between you and your colored pencils) is in my 8yo's top 3 fav games (alongside Nature and Gloomhaven). We got in a raucous 5p game of it last night.

I have a hard time believing there wasn't a dotted line kid.
Really, any path was catnip for me. I remember tracing the path of these roads in Whose Mouse Are You with my finger over and over again when I was 5yo. It was a favorite page.

If there's one never-fail motif, it's dotted line paths.
Also, cutaways of pirate ships, space ships, and secret lairs, esp if there's funny stuff going on inside.

Unfortunately, no. The bulk of the book reads very plain and straightforward.

...where it falls apart is that a) it's entirely uninteresting, and b) it gets pretty woo-woo and hard for either child or adult to explain what's said.
The thunder down under is like a wrestler intro. What underwater waterfall? Enhancing community, a big concern for my 5yo. Our own kind of unity?

There are some absolutely dreadful picture books out there. My daughter picked out You And Me, Anemone. It's got pretty art, a mix of painting and embroidery, and it's about asserting your boundaries. A bit After School Special but some people want that in a kids book. Pedagogy's fine and all, but…

For a) and b) our memories like to flatten and hyperbolize simultaneously. For c) we create indelible memories but remember things wrongly, like I remember the Mickey Mouse Turnover Choo Choo ad jingle, but I vividly remember it being red and white - which it was not.
