There's a certain level of bonkers imagination in this book that I admire. Reminds me a bit of Frances Hardinge in that sense (though very different audiences!)

drives me up the wall when Austen adaptations give their heroines loose, historically inaccurate hair to communicate that they’re free spirits or modern women or whatever when generally the point in Austen is that these women aren’t. yknow. free.

I've been enjoying Janice Hallett's backlist a lot, so if anyone has recommendations for mystery audiobooks with a similar vibe, please lmk!

I'm only a bit into The Works of Vermin, but so far I'm not that squicked out? Liking it a lot, though.

20 minutes later: "why does the kitchen smell like pizza?" I wonder to myself

Drying some herbs this morning! We have probably about 3-4 weeks of garden left, so I'm trying to harvest the last of the tender plants soon.

Currently reading! Print: The Mad Sisters of Esi by Tashan Mehta * Audio: The Appeal by Janice Hallett Ebook: Archer's Goon by Diana Wynne Jones * I switched to print after my headphones kept playing the audiobook and I couldn't figure out where I'd actually left off 😭

It probably exists already, but an honest baby book would be hilarious. First time you spit up on me. First time you gave us a heart attack. First tantrum.

okay, if you're familiar with the phrase "talk to the hand," what is the second part? R knows "because the face ain't listening" and I know "cause the face don't care"
