It seems that I've been reading Romantasy for a long time - I just never realised it. Anyway of the recent ones I 've read, I've really enjoyed this series - it's rather sweet and funny. Assistant to the Villain and the subsequent books in the series by Hannah Nicole Maehrer.

"And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt"

The congregation were surprised to hear the Pope burst into song at a mass to celebrate Joan of Arc..

The Anchoress tonight at the Union Chapel - very much on form, chatty and generally lovely.

Friday night and I'm in church...okay, it's the Union Chapel to see The Anchoress - support was Roxanne de Bastion who was excellent. And really suited the venue.

I've done a thread of Advent Calendars...but this one deserves it's own post...seriously, what says Christmas more than body than internal organs hanging from the tree!! You too can have both the male and female reproductive system hanging from your tree!!

Christmas food can be so bland!! Save up 24 kinds of hot sauce and pour them all over your turkey!!

And nothing says Xmas more than some 'RAAAWWWWKKKKK'

You can have Ozzy hanging from your tree!! It's what he would have wanted!!

Oh...and I know Xmas can be a hard time for many, so lets cash in and come up with a calendar that acknowledges this..
November 7, 2025 at 8:47 AM
And then there's this....I'm assuming that the plan is to play this on Xmas Day...

And he looks very excited to get a Whisky Advent Calendar - because nothing says Christmas more than Under-Age Drinking! Yes, I'm going down an Advent Calendar rabbit hole. The variety is amazing!!

Just look at the minifigs....

It is the one displayed in the email that was sent...It is the Fourth Doctor - Pyramids of Mars. It is cheaper for some reason but it is the same scale I think.

Doctor Who, Doctor in the House and Doctors....

Going down a bit of a Stalinist rabbit-hole thanks to @originstorypodcast.bsky.social; just finished this - it's a very readable and interesting look at life under Stalin through the lens of the humour that people used. I'm not saying it is funny but there are moments.
