I think if I’m determined to ice skate at this time of year I’m going to have to make my peace with the Christmas music. 😂 That said, Bill Nighy’s “Christmas all Around” (from Love Actually), or whatever it’s called, is meant to be a joke on so many levels. Not played apparently sincerely. 😂

This this this - hey @usuallyhats.bsky.social maybe we could do a household dramatic reading together every night - would trying for welsh accents be offensive? 😂

I knew about the lot and the clothes but not the dating or the hanging out at Luke’s Diner, I’m DELIGHTED. 😍
Not the same, but I love that outfits were shared between the Gilmore Girls and Friends.

Wicked: For Good was really good <3 I feel like I’ve watched so many movie musicals fumble the pass somehow, I can’t believe this is the one that hit it out of the park, I’m so pleased, and full of feelings, and excited to rewatch both parts many, many times

I’m prepping to go see Wicked: For Good tonight by rewatching Wicked 1. (I actually rewatched it yesterday, today is with Cynthia and Ariana’s commentary.) I’m a bit of an exposed nerve right now anyway for Reasons and is this helping? Like hell it is.

But also having finished the #perpetualvorkosigansreread for the time being (it is, after all, perpetual) I am now at a loss for what to read next. 😂

By and large the adventures in ADHD medication have continued great but I’m also developing a long list of things they never promised to help me with in the first place cuz they’re stimulants, not miracle pills. 😂

I’m redecorating my room and sorting through all my worldly possessions, and I have combined the two on this notice board in the form of all the art my tiny besties have given me over the years (including two from my godspawn - who graduated uni last year 😂)

Lost more of my day than I care to confess assembling this gift from the C’s, from their honeymoon in Japan. Reader, they married in 2013. 😂 (I am quite pleased with the result tho 😂)

If you've read and enjoyed All Is Bright, I'd appreciate it so much if you could give it a rating or review on the site of your choice!
Your friendly semi-regular reminder that the single greatest way to help your favorite authors is to rate and review the books you've read. Goodreads, Itch, Kindle, they all give you the opportunity to rate/review and it REALLY helps us get visibility!

Bethan, dragged back to her home village, is desperate to escape before Christmas. Mali, grieving the loss of a friend, knows Christmas won't be the same this year. A misunderstanding starts them off on the wrong foot - but perhaps they're each just what the other needs?
