The juxtaposition of a Love Actually rewatch (hate watch?) and the rising tension at the end of The Last Word is just phenomenal work. @ellygriffiths.bsky.social does not disappoint.

This is the second book I’ve read recently dedicated to a lost beloved pet. Here it is with our new acquisition, Leo, who could never replace our beloved Ainsley, but is turning into quite the reading partner. My first by @alexpavesi.bsky.social. #InkRibbonRed #GoldsboroCrimeCollective

Picked this one up because I liked the premise & because of its striking, stylized cover. Immediately a brand. Also anyone familiar with not just NYC, but also the Highline can spot the offset cement tiles of the famous walkway. Hoping to enjoy this one over winter break. #tbr #crimefiction

Today would have been our 5th year with this goober. Very thankful we got to spend his powdered-sugar-nose years with him.

Continuing my streak of “not my usual” choices. Heard Laura speak at a conference last weekend and was so impressed.

Unexpected core memory unlocked. Thanks, Hulu. Perhaps a logical follow up to Romancing the Stone’s success.
