i also think i agree with george orwell in that while her writing is good her books *as detective stories* are a bit convoluted and implausible lol. the solutions to the cases very frequently strain credulity

Gaudy Night is for sure the best one though, the consensus is correct on that score

replies are limited to my followers but just in case you were thinking of being weird — please trust that both my reasons for still generally wearing a mask and my reasons for refraining over the next little while are sound and that i’ve thought about my choices :) thank u

dealing with a hopefully-minor medical issue that means i’m going to have to go without masking for at least a few days and i can already tell it is going to be extremely disorienting. at least my vaccinations are up to date though
