gleeful fannishness

book
The Arctic Fury by Greer Macallister was a delight: a northward trek by a group of women to find Franklin's lost expedition. MacAllister used a lot of real events and people, but the excursion in the novel is fictional. The "life or death" stakes, the characters themselves, the prose--all of it works together to create a riveting tale that I was sad to finish, because that meant no more story.

movie
Go watch Everything Everywhere All at Once in a movie theater, preferably with a crowd. It's a dazzling blend of campy action, a tribute to a whole slew of other movies, and a heartwarming family love story. Not without its flaws, and definitely worth checking the content warnings before you go (don't take your kids--unless they're adults, too).
