Finished reading: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo 📚 This is a re-read, because when I tried to read the third in the trilogy, Dead Beat, I realized I couldn’t remember much that happened in the other two. Leigh Bardugo is so good at the job.

Watched: Murder on the Orient Express 🍿 My third time watching this. It’s great every time. Branagh’s Poirot is so melancholy.

My son went to a Dungeons and Dragons camp last week where he painted miniatures. He loved painting them so much that we ended up doing a family mini painting day yesterday. I painted these three.

Three painted miniature figurines, including a woman playing a lute, a crouching creature, and a muscular blue humanoid, are displayed on a table.
