Over at Netflix's Tundum blog, they announce the complete casting of P+P. Rufus Sewell is Mr. Bennet! And my heart will not protest, nor lie, but I will be throwing Mr. Bennet a bit of my female gaze.

My latest read: "Fleet of Knives" by Gareth L. Powell - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoyed "Embers of War" and like yourself some full-blown space opera action and adventure, this one's definitely worth a look!

A well-thought-out piece on Austen, her influence, and where to start reading her works. The author is cognizant that where to start with Austen is super subjective so she breaks down what book you should read and why.

Okay Mastodon, do your thing!
I'm looking for recommendations for audiobooks 😁
Preferably simple enough that I can keep up while doing other stuff at the same time, but not so simple that I get bored,
The last series was Skullduggery Pleasant, if that helps.

A little reminder that all of my books are available via bookshop(dot)org, which means that pretty much any local book store can stock them, and benefit from their sale online. If you haven't tried Bookshop, here's a great place to start!

My latest read: "Colossus with a Poison Tongue" by Coy Hall - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're a fan of far-future post-apocalyptic sci-fi stories oozing with vivid depictions of horror and the occult, this one's for you!

Kate Beaton is a comic artist who had a semi-regular web series called Hark! A Vagrant! (http://www.harkavagrant.com/). She's ended the series, but her archives are a wonderful backlog of her poking fun at history.
Her spins on the Brontës and Austen never fail to amuse me.
