Happy #Pride from Weyland Yutani. Because all that matters is what's inside you...

Um, it was great thanks, but... it didn't look much like that.

Absolutely adored Glasgow Boys by @margaretmcdonald.bsky.social. I've never come across a YA book about a friendship (or, as the book tells us, love) between a gay guy and a straight guy before, and I didn't even know that was something I needed until now.

If you're wondering how long the enemies-to-lovers trope has been around, I just read this near the end of Wuthering Heights:
"I overheard no further distinguishable talk; but on looking round again, I perceived two such radiant countenances bent over the page of the accepted book, that I did not doubt the treaty had been ratified, on both sides, and the enemies were, thenceforth, sworn allies."

The husband's off to the cinema tonight, so I'm going to watch a Hong Kong action movie, a genre I am sadly unfamiliar with. Just need to choose from the three that caught my eye on Kanopy.

This is now becoming a tradition. On the morning of Jan 1, I avoid the New Year's Day concert in favour of a less saccharine version of Vienna: The Third Man.

I mean, I love The Folio Society, but it bothers me that the ANDs are missing from the title.

Now that's what they call a page turner. Scenes from a Tragedy by @carolehailey.bsky.social has a deliciously dark villain - who also happens to be very funny. Gripping stuff!
