To know me is to know I love the musical The Scarlet Pimpernel. Well, @carriagereturn.bsky.social and @gherrriey.bsky.social kindly let me join them to talk about the many versions of it! If you'd like to hear my Very Big Opinions, Part I is out now:

I've owned this book since The Scarlet Pimpernel musical was on Broadway, as the cover indicates, but only just read it this week. Almost 30 years on the TBR pile, but I finally got there. 😂 Never say never.

(Thanks for the inspiration, @carriagereturn.bsky.social!)

My Descendants-loving self had the best time seeing Thomas Doherty's debut as Seymour in Little Shop last night. The whole cast was great, but he appeared as comfortable and wonderful as if he'd been there months. It was lovely to see.

I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden for the first time this week, despite living in New York my whole life. Loved it.

MORE IMPORTANTLY (yes, I'm replying again), if you ever read Vic James' Dark Gifts trilogy, even if you hate it, we need to meet up and discuss. It is my favorite. Like, I love it so much I had a ring made with a quote from it on it. The first book is Gilded Cage.

I am really obsessed with lantern/light festivals. They're magical.

I've just finished watching Shrinking and this brought me so much amusement.

Saw Sweeney Todd today (fabulous) and it felt like the rare place these earrings were actually appropriate attire 🪒🤣

I'm back to blogging! My first post is about the wonderful work being done by White Rock Bear Shelter. They rescue bears (usually from places like circuses) and give them the space and care they need to live their best lives. I'm a fan of that mission. 🐻

I love this. It means winter is coming.
