Annular eclipse tomorrow! Very exciting! I’m not in the path for complete annularity, but it should still have enough coverage to be interesting.

TV stuff:
I resubscribed to Disney+ the other day; I’m planning to watch Loki, season two, as it airs. More or less, anyway. And continue watching most or all of Star Wars: Rebels, and then Ahsoka, season one. Plus whatever else strikes my fancy - probably some Muppet movies and older Disney films.

OH! And a rewatch of my beloved Andor, of course. Maybe I’ll make progress on my Ferrix refugees fic.

Books:
Ben Aaronovitch has been branching out from his Rivers of London series - exploring characters other than the RoL narrator, Peter Grant. Winter’s Gifts was a short novel featuring Kim Reynolds, the FBI agent who makes a few cameos in the RoL series. Unfortunately for Aaronovitch, his “American woman working for a federal agency” voice is just… not quite right. But I still read all of it, and was entertained.

I went on a whole re-read and new-read binge of Kay Hooper’s Bishop/Special Crimes Unit novels. She’s now up to 20 books - the first was published in 1997, the most recent in 2020. They feature psychic investigators - working for a special branch of the FBI - and sometimes-psychic murderers, if that seems like it might be of interest. These are sort of like the Law & Order of murder books. Very much in line with my “too tired to devote my reading brain to anything too taxing” reading tastes of late.
