Hello, and welcome to Monday! I have decided that this is now a Steven Universe fan newsletter. Just kidding! But I did start watching it last week and, OMG, I love it more than I can say. It’s so silly and sweet and wonderful! That is exactly what I needed right now. I am almost done watching the third season, and I think Garnet is my favorite Crystal Gem, and Connie is my favorite character, because she’s bookish. I highly, highly recommend it. (I promise I still read books too, lol.)

I’m afraid there’s not much going on in the book world right now, so I only have a teeny bit of news for you today. And a cat picture, of course. Whatever you are doing or watching or reading this week, I am sending you virtual hugs. Please try and enjoy the rest of your week as best you can, and remember to stay inside and wash your hands. We’re going to be okay, eventually. I’ll see you again on Thursday. – xoxo, Liberty

The Searcher: A Novel by Tana French (Viking, October 6)

I spent the weekend moving books in my library and alphabetizing, and when I got to the Tana French books, I was overcome with a desperate need for this new book. I think reading a new French novel right now would be excellent, because they’re so great to just sink into. This one is about a retired Chicago police officer living in Ireland who helps search for a missing boy. It sounds like a straight police procedural, but one of the tags for this is ‘witch & wizard mysteries’ which has me VERY intrigued.

What I’m reading this week:

Tokyo Ueno Station by Yu Miri

It’s Thursday! That means we’ve successfully made it past the week’s halfway mark. And thank goodness. I had quite the Tuesday this week. It was more like a second Monday, which I then learned is a whole meme and fell down the internet rabbit hole. I rewatched Gravity Falls this past week, too, and now am trying to decide what I will watch next, because it turns out while I am having a good reading streak these last several weeks, I have no patience for television shows that aren’t cartoons. Maybe I will just watch Gravity Falls again, lol.

Happy Monday, readers! I hope you had another lovely weekend. We had a snowstorm here on Saturday. In May. Yep, that happened. Let’s see, what else? I have been continuing watching Agatha Christie adaptations. I watched Crooked House with Glenn Close and Gillian Anderson, and I thought it was excellent. And I watched the 1974 version of Murder on the Orient Express, which I haven’t seen since I was in high school. It’s…dated. But there can’t be many more films with such a star-studded cast. Unrelated to Christie, I also rewatched all of Gravity Falls for the fourth or fifth time, and I still love it bunches.

There’s not much going on in the book world right now other than delays and cancelations, but I do have a few exciting things to tell you.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World by Mark Aldridge (William Morrow, October 6)

So as I mentioned above, I have been watching a lot of Agatha Christie adaptations lately. I am eyeballs deep in Christie nostalgia, and plan to reread all the books again soon, which is something I haven’t done in 14 years. It is the 100th anniversary of the publication of her first novel this year, after all. So, of course, I was very excited when I stumbled upon this book in a catalog! Poirot is in my favorite Christie book, The ABC Murders, but I don’t know that he’s my favorite of her characters. Even Christie herself got tired of writing him, calling him a “detestable, bombastic, tiresome, ego-centric little creep.” But I look forward to reading Aldridge’s reasoning for why he thinks Poirot is the greatest detective in the world.

Happy Thursday, readers! How is everyone holding up? I feel a bit more optimistic about things than I did a few weeks ago, but maybe it’s just because the sun is out all the time now. The sun is not my friend, but I am getting Vitamin D by proxy, so that’s something.

I have been watching newer Agatha Christie adaptations these last few days. Loved Ordeal by Innocence, mostly because Bill Nighy is a treasure. I thought The Pale Horse was pretty but kinda disappointing. And I didn’t like The ABC Murders at all, for many reasons, which was sad because it’s my favorite Christie. (John Malkovich didn’t work for me as Poirot at all, and they changed one of the murders that, when I read it as an 8-year-old, scarred me for life. And yet I wanted to see it on the screen, lol.) Now to watch Crooked House!

Holy cats, it’s Monday again! Time is flying by for me. Which is good, I think? I have been keeping myself busy with work and reading. I haven’t been sleeping much again, so I managed to watch the first 30 seasons of The Simpsons over the last couple months. (“Well, I’ve only read it in books” is still my favorite bit.) It’s bananas to me that I originally watched the premiere in 8th grade.

I think I’m in the mood now for some literary murdery-type stuff. I’m planning on catching up on a few Agatha Christie adaptations. It is, after all, the 100th anniversary of the publication of her first book in October. I’ll let you know how that goes.
