@mikrenfro.bsky.social - just wanted to thank you again for writing this. We're now re-watching entire series (for the n-th time) and enjoying it even more by reading your book alongside! xx

No, it's not you, people are dreadful - disgusting, germ-spreading, selfish. I'm with Linus, when Lucy told him he couldn't be a doctor because he didn't love mankind...

Day 16
Cover of Word Monkey by Christopher Fowler shows a slim, middle-aged man with short grey hair & spectacles, perched jauntily on top of a pile of household objects, including a re leather armchair, a plaster bust, a bag of sweets, a smoking gun, fruit, comics & an old-fashioned typewriter. He is wearing a smart navy shirt & trousers with a silver tie. The background is bright yellow, with a ribbon of navy swirled through. At the bottom the words, "A memoir about being a writer - and telling the closing chapter in your own story."

Day 12
The cover of C J Sansom's book "Dissolution" shows a mottled dark coloured background (perhaps a dark plum velvet?) The title and author's name are picked out in bold capitals in gold - as are copies or words from reviews of the book - "extraordinarily impressive", "remarkable, "enthralling", "terrific", "fascinating".

Blimey, I'm old!
We DID have colour in those days, you understand* - I've just always liked this image!

(*in fact, one of the other films released in 1957 was Elvis's Jailhouse Rock! 😄)
A still from the film The Seventh Seal (film released 1957) Image is in black & white & shows two figures playing chess on a wide plain under a cloudy sky, One of the figures is Death.

Day 11
The cover of Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett shows three witches (two wearing the identifiable pointed witches' hat) in silhouette standing in active poses around a cauldron. The Witches and the surrounding landscape are in shades of dark green, & their shadows flow over the surroundings from a bright yellow gold behind/around them. There are flames underneath the cauldron, the contents of which are mauve/pink.

Cartoon (from 2022, the coronation of Charles III) shows three medieval serfs, labouring in a corn field on hands & knees. An overseer with a big stick standing by. Speech bubbles above them show ... Peasant 1, "We have a new king." Peasant 2, "I'm soo excited." Peasant 3, "My life will never be the same."

The cover of the Gollancz hardback edition of Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers is plain yellow with bold lettering & no picture. In bold black it reads, "Gaudy Night - a novel not without detection" The author's name is depicted in red. (the sum of eight shillings and sixpence is printed on the spine)

Day 9
The cover of "Just One Damned Thing After Another", the first in the Chronicles Of St Mary's by Jodi Taylor. The title is emblazoned across the middle of the page in large gold capitals, beneath which are two landscapes, in silhouette, in shades of deep pink, red, black & gold Both landscapes are shown at night, under a black sky with stars. In one, forests & mountains with two dinosaurs (a brontosaurus & a pteranodon) in silhouette, in the other, fewer trees & more rounded hills - no dinosaurs, but instead long tongues of what might be flames, reaching towards a large 'moon' which looks on closer inspection like the intricate, gold inner workings of a watch or similar timepiece.

Day 8
Cover of the first Jeeves & Wooster book, "The Inimitable Jeeves" showing a simple cartoon of two men engaged in a fairly ineffectual fight - the shorter (in a red hat and coat) is attempting to pull a false beard & moustache from the other, similarly garbed but in brown, who has covered his assailant's face with his hands. It is unclear whether this is a gesture of aggression, passing him back, or simply covering his eyes to avoid being seen. A white railing behind the two suggests they are at a horse-racing track.

Day 7
Cover of The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley showing a dark-gowned woman riding a trotting white horse through low mist. She is holding (in ceremonial fashion by the blade, not wielding) a long glowing sword - the symbolic cross of its golden hilt uppermost. Sailing alongside her is a white swan, wings partially unfurled, in the foreground reeds.

So, obviously it's too early for the annual re-read of The Dark is Rising . . . but maybe the right time for this, instead?
The cover of Hogfather by Terry Pratchet shows a crypt-like vault entrance reminiscent of the shape of a skull, within which dangle three baubles, suggesting the eyes & nose sockets of a skull. At the bottom the skull's teeth are a collection of lit candles, the lower jaw is holly leaves. Shadowy seasonal foods & a wrapped present further delineate the skull.

An image of the cover of The Once & Future Witches by Alix Harrow, showing a wide ribbon, bearing the book's title, furling around a collection of things important in the book - herbs, roses, a snake, a bird and scissors.
