Consider watching Frankenstein this weekend, it's gorgeous and provocative. Lots of changes from the book, but I respected the choices. And keeping the arctic section in the opening?? Stunning #horror

If you are reading The Will of the Many, this woman is your hero. She is recapping it in sequence so you can stop where you are in the book (I'm only on ch 10).

It's not a confusing book, but her detail / lore / simplification is really really adding to my experience. #books #booksky

Academic slow burn mystery debut. Cady's mentally ill brother took his own life at Harvard. She shows up for her freshman year still grieving, and starts hearing voices - but they are having real conversations. Ghosts? There's a paranomal element, but sadly, this is not horror.

A modern detective wakes up in the body of a teenaged maid in 1860s Scotland -and soon finds herself helping the local surgeon solve a murder. Can she wake up before 5 to tend the chamberpots, solve the crime, and hardest of all, fake being demur? Breezy, funny, well-paced. #books #booksky

Love it when a great artist talks in detail about why he appreciates another artist's work. Here the director of Apocalypse Now and The Godfather talks about Sinners.

It's giving Midsommer. What's remarkable about this is that I, who read the book once, can name almost every single character that we see. (Oh, Ampert). I read that the screenplay and novel were written concurrently. But the book was still A-tier. High hopes for the film. #books #booksky

Romance + horror set in 1700s Mexico at a silver mine. High drama, lush prose, atmospheric, full of yearning, but also creepy, gothic, bloody... "possession" is refers to Alba's dread of losing her bodily freedom by marriage as a business deal. And also, the demonic kind too. #books #booksky

Update from a #UU church.... our food pantry has been so overwhelmed with donations and food drives following the shutdown that we had to throw out a large bookshelf of mildewed old Bibles to make more storage space.
(I think Jesus would be OK with this).

Now you know
Elementary, my dear Watson
#TidyTuesday

While the full phrase is never there (see also "Luke, I am your father" & "Play it again, Sam"), you can find "My dear Watson" multiple times across the Sherlock Holmes novels – but which lines? 🔎📖
