Finished reading: Death on the Nile [Movie Tie-In 2022] by Agatha Christie π
Another fun one. Poirot has more heart here.

Another pre-movie watch read.
Cat help me, I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole that is Benoit Blanc/Phillip fluff and I’m very happy here.

Part of me wants to take all my favorite character tropes and rewrite them as mom. Mom detective. Mom swashbuckler. Mom grand dame. Just a bunch of early-30s to early-40s people having adventures with babies strapped to their chests.
Finished reading: Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie π
Wow, that went fast. Super fun.

Reading in advance of watching the Branagh film.
Finished reading: Season of Love by Helena Greer π
I love it so much. Sweet, hot but closed doors, I really do wish Carrigan’s was a real place, that Noelle and Miriam were real and I could be friends with them. Highly recommend.
ππ Read …and a partridge in a pear tree (19913 words) by strangehunger.
This is a beautiful and perfect Gideon the Ninth mall employee AU. Gideon works at Spencer Gifts. Harrow works at Hot Topic. And my boy Palamedes works at B&N, of course.
Currently reading: Season of Love by Helena Greer π
I’ve read 141 pages in this book since I picked it up yesterday afternoon.
π I’m sure there are a lot of things I’ll want to tell you about Season of Love but the first is that there’s a Veronica Mars reference and a shout-out to the coolest member of the Babysitters Club on the same page.
I feel like my new glasses give me a nebbishy vibe and I kind of love it. Who’s ready to cast me as Seymour?
Finally picked this beauty up from the library. I had it from NetGalley but didn’t get it read before it expired. (Don’t fret over the menorah with all its candles in it on Day 5. That’s not the one we light.)

I drew the Ace of Swords as my anchor card for winter. I made it my phone background to help me remember that this season, I can use my sharp mind to cut through fog and that this is just the beginning. Deck is the Moonchild Tarot.

ππ Read Finding the Secret Door Into Your Novel.
When a novel is wick, it has a life about it.
(Have we talked about how I married Dickon, Internet? Because I did.)
Said I was gonna disconnect cross-posting from Twitter, forgot to actually do it, gonna leave it on for now since they’ve walked back the bananas linking policy.
Finished reading: Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko π
Finished this in 2 or 3 days. I was drawn to it because of the cover & buzz. I stayed in it because of the magic of connection & my love of kind teen girls with a sense of justice. Gorgeous, evocative writing, highly recommend.
