It's Friday The What Now?!! #NoMoreThisWeek

"The Lamplighter’s Bookshop" by @sophieaustinauthor.bsky.social has all the magical ingredients for a Victorian romance on the verge of a new century. Audiobook delightfully narrated/performed by Catrin Walker-Booth. Perfect to pull me out of my deep winter blues. #BookshopRead

Late to the the party, I'm starting the first book of a Canadian mystery series featuring Detective Superintendent MacNeice. open-book.ca/News/Scott-T...

We got a DVD set from the library so we could see sketches from "Your Show of Shows" a live comedy revue program from the 50s. Imogene Coca is so relatable and my favourite performer of the series.

Snow removal tip. Keep flattening the top of the gigantic snow pyramid you’re making so you can keep adding more snow to the top level. Think Aztec pyramid versus Egyptian pyramid.

The White Octopus Hotel" by Alexandra Bell Audiobook performed by Mei Mei MacLeod One of the things that really fun about this audiobook is hearing old timey British movie accents circa 30s/40s like listening to a TCM movie.

I loved fountain pens when I was a kid so this is a perfect book for me and a nice warm hug after being terrified by my previous wonderful horror read. “I have known the silence of the stars, and of the sea. And the silence of the city when it pauses.” ― Sally Page, The Book of Beginnings

Waited a long time on hold at the library to get my ears on the audiobook for "The Staircase In The Woods" by @chuckwendig.bsky.social because my fellow Torontonians keep his books on perpetual library hold and you just have to be patient to get the good stuff. Bonus @xesands.bsky.social narration.

As you can see, The Bug is full of New Year cheer as he wishes everyone all the best for 2026
