Yes, I just quoted Adele. If you haven't watched her do carpool karaoke with James Corden, you are missing on a delightful 15 minutes.

Well, things! It's been awhile, hasn't it?

1. Brexit. I have thoughts and opinions and none of them complimentary towards the UK government at present. I don't really even know where to start. I have a feeling this is going to drag on and on and we're all going to be in uncertain waters for quite some time.

2. Shows I'm watching: Preacher - holy crap this show is NUTS. I'm enjoying it? Maybe 'enjoying' is the wrong word. 'I can't seem to look away' is probably more accurate.

Penny Dreadful - I HAVE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS AND I AM SO ANGRY AT THE SERIES FINALE. SO. ANGRY.

3. What I'm reading: I just finished 'On Writing' by Stephen King which was actually a re-read and 'Furiously Happy' by Jenny Lawson which made me laugh out loud several times. It also made me think and that's always good.

I just started 'Wales' by Jan Morris who is a fantastic travel writer. Definitely look her up.

I also just started 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman and I'm really enjoying it.

4. I'm still trying to get back into the writing groove and am four chapters into a Houdini and Doyle fic. I don't even know. It's fun and I'm just letting myself write.

5. I don't really have a number five - Happy Tuesday! ♥

Reading: I just purchased Sorceror to the Crown by Zen Cho because I was told it was like Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell with lots of ladies and POC and magic! I haven't started it yet, but it'll be cracked open by the weekend.

I'm debating re-reading the Rivers of London series before the next book is released, but that may be optimistic of me.

I did just re-read Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman because the prose is lovely and I'm trying to improve my prose.

Watching: I am actually still keeping up with From Dusk Till Dawn. It has these moments that are really, really, really good. The dialogue is crisp and the acting is just plain fun. But then it goes a bit wonky and I just wonder if they just throw stuff in there because they think they have to. But the ladies are interesting and the mythology is kinda fun. Plus Esai Morales is having a blast being an awful, awful, AWFUL dude. Seriously, I'd only watch Esai Morales do what this dude's doing. No one else.

Lewis started up last night and it was quite good, I thought! Just how I like it: Robbie, Laura, James and Lizzie teasing each other while solving crime. Bring it!

Writing: The novel continues! I've written a grand total of nine chapters, maybe ten? A good bit of it is handwritten at present and my goal is to type all of that lot up by the weekend, so I can start fresh with the middle bit on Monday. But I have the first third or so done? I think? It feels like I do and it feels pretty darn great, to be honest. I may actually finish this thing! No one is more surprised than I am.

How is everyone? Happy Wednesday! ♥
