I love writing down a reminder to do something that I will then proceed to think about constantly until it’s time to do it

Book 69 (nice) of 2026: “Charlotte Illes Is Not a Teacher” (Not a Detective #2) by @katiefliesaway.com. One of the few straight-up mystery series I still enjoy. Siegel has a deft touch with young people who are as amusing as they think they are and a great grasp of mystery plotting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
The cover of “Charlotte Illes Is Not a Teacher” by Katie Siegel. A young brunette woman’s face is one-third covered by the title and green background. She is looking up and to our left.
The blurb from the New York Times Book Review: “Charlotte is a delight.”

Despite its position as #69 of the year, it’s non-spicy, just for the record.

The tie between Emily/Zac and Ally/Murph for most times sitting next to each other (not counting Seats 3 and 4) has been broken, with Emily/Zac pulling ahead with 5
030
Katie 🌀 @katiefliesaway.com · 12/08/2026
If my data’s correct (blanket statement for all of this) this is the first time Murph and Lou are sitting next to each other (not counting the Seats 3 and 4 combo, which they’ve done once)
130
Katie 🌀 @katiefliesaway.com · 12/08/2026
Ally is sitting in Seat 1 which became the first seat to have been sat in by every IH when Murph sat there for CCoD. With Toylight, Seats 2, 4, 5, and 6 have all been sat in by every IH. Seat 3 just needs Ally to be complete (sorry this is starting to sound like a sentient object romance)

HUGE news from my D20 Intrepid Heroes seating order spreadsheet: Before this season, each IH only had one seat they’ve never sat in before. With this season, EVERYONE EXCEPT ALLY is sitting in a new seat and therefore have now sat in all six seats!!

I’m 91st in line for a book on Libby and then yesterday went to the library and saw it on the shelf so just a reminder to everyone (including me) that ebooks are obviously very convenient but if you really want to read a popular book the wait time for the physical copy is probably not as long!!

finished copyedits on One for the Books today and I think after four books I’ve finally learned when to do s’ and when to do s’s. however I fear I still do not know when and when not to hyphenate
