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

Finished reading: Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie π
Wow, that went fast. Super fun.
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: 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.

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.
πΏ Watched Glass Onion. Had fun. Still adore Benoit Blanc.

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.)
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.

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 feel like my new glasses give me a nebbishy vibe and I kind of love it. Who’s ready to cast me as Seymour?
