he's my before-bed reading surface

i have placed M.R. James's Ghost Stories of an Antiquary on Finn's haunch. he is laying on the bed and looking back at me with a goof smile.

did a quick google bc this is so baffling and Sorkin also looks Like This on John Augusts' Scriptnotes podcast 5 days ago

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

A small book, made using Atlantic bay scallop shells. The book features tiny drawings of estuary plants and animals from Nova Scotia. - #SciArtSeptember Day 16: Scallop

An open book made of paper pages and a scallop shell cover. The book is open to a simple ink drawing of a duck. The book's pages and cover are pink. The book rests on a wooden table.

A hand holding a pink and purple scallop shell. The shell is bound along one side with green thread, making it the cover to a small book. The background is a wooden table top.
