1. I got a postcard from oracne! It really brightened my day; thank you!!

2. We had an awesome Halloween. All four of us painted our own little gourd creatures, we watched the surprisingly good 2019 animated Addams Family movie (on Netflix with an amazing cast), we all dressed up (Josh as ghost, Emma as skeleton, Fiona as She-Ra, and me as princess), and Fiona trick or treated in all our bedrooms.

3. Josh, Emma, and I watched Phantasm, and OMG this must have been Kripke's favorite movie because its fingerprints are all over SPN.

I think this one is worth a watch. I don't do scary movies because I don't like to be scared, and this one isn't scary, just twisty and interesting.

4. gloss linked me to this awhile back, and I just now got around to reading it: a short story by Tamsyn Muir set in The Locked Tomb Trilogy world: The Mysterious Study of Doctor Sex.

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really, really liked this book.

The protagonist reminds me a lot of Murderbot (if Murderbot were angrier and more foul-mouthed). I would love to see Gideon and Murderbot interact.

I love the world building; there's a part where Gideon thinks a decoration of human teeth is human and beautiful, and I love all those little touches that make the world she inhabits so alien and strange.

I am very much ready for the next book.

Don't spoil me, but does Harrow the Ninth live up how awesome Gideon the Ninth is?
