Shrinking
Lisa AdamsI've been watching #Shrinking on Apple TV, and it's just wonderful. Such strong character writing, Michael Urie, Jessica Williams, and Christa Miller are delightful, and Harrison Ford is just absolutely everything. Plus bonus Lily Rabe! Big recommend.

The Once and Future Witches
Alix E. HarrowAlix E. Harrow’s THE ONCE AND FUTURE WITCHES may be the best witchy book I’ve ever read. It’s super intersectionally feminist and manages to be angry, painful, fun, triumphant, and bursting with magic at once. And such a clever twist on so many different fairy tales and folklore.

Murder, She Wrote: Death on the Emerald Isle
Jessica FletcherOff to yet another Solve-A-Long-A Murder She Wrote at the RVT tonight. I don’t have a Jessica Fletcher shirt but I figured this is 80s camp that also revolves around death so it works. https://t.co/2udrm58HBL

The Lie Tree
Frances HardingeAbout 2 weeks ago I started reading my first-ever @FrancesHardinge book (UNRAVELLER). And now I’m already on my third (did CUCKOO SONG next, and starting THE LIE TREE today). She’s one of the best fantasy writers I’ve ever read and I’m absolutely obsessed with these books.
