Boo!
Happy Halloween, y’all!
Tana French’s first novel, In the Woods, was good almost-Halloween fare. First-person murder mystery novel, told by (surprise, surprise) a detective with childhood trauma. It works, though. I did figure out one key piece before the end, if not all the motivations.
Started but didn’t finish Dinner for One: How Cooking in Paris Saved Me, by Sutanya Dacres. My previous experience with memoir + cookbook left me with little appetite (pun intended) for the genre, so… yeah. Gonna try the apple dessert recipe, though.
Amazon’s Rings of Power had a strong finale–intriguing enough for me to watch season two when it comes out. It still fits in the “good not great” category for me, but it edged a lot higher within that category by the end.
The first two episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney-At-Law were more fun than I expected, although uneven. But it’s hard to go truly astray with Tatiana Maslany as the lead. She’s telegenic and a talented actor.
Having just (re)signed up for Disney Plus, I’ll probably go for some Star Wars shows next: Andor for sure, maybe the Obi-Wan show. The thing is, I’m not sure how interested I am. Or rather, I’m just not as interested as I thought I’d be; not sure how much of that is Disney’s amazing failures with the sequel trilogy, or that I’m just not in much of a drama kind of mood. Hm.

Rogue One has been my favorite of the non-original trilogy films so I was glad when I heard they'd been doing more with it.
