spooky scary!

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.

I'll be curious to hear what you think when you finish Rebels and head into Ahsoka

Did you get to see the eclipse? It was incredible from where I saw it.
