finished watching Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law Season 4
A fun time-killer show.

I normally shy away from anthologies; they tend, frankly, to not be very good. This one did have a few good stories, some that made me cringe, and some I didn't understand at all. I'll probably just leave this in the little free library down the road.
On the plus side, it gave me some mild inspiration for when/if I ever get back to writing myself. So that's neat.

finished reading Can't Spell Treason Without Tea
That was a lot more romance than I was expecting. Though considering the words "steeped with love" are right there on the cover, I guess I only have myself to blame.
If you're into mushy stuff, then I guess this is a strong recommendation. For my tastes it was a bit much, but the story underneath was just interesting enough to keep reading. I'll probably pick up the next book at least, and decide after that whether I want to finish out the series.

Well that escalated quickly.
This series has been so much fun to read. Wondering how come I hadn't heard of it sooner.

Classic Hanna Barbera goofiness. Pretty good, as far as 60s cartoons go.

finished reading The Dungeon Book
When you're five pages into a book and have to put it down because your laughing is interfering with your reading, you know you're in for a good time. This was so much fun to read.

finished reading Kiki and the New Magic
I had simply assumed the live-action Kiki movie was an entirely original story based on the same framework. Turns out it takes inspiration from the second book. Neat.
Another peaceful, easy read. Not as exciting as the movie, but that's fine by me. I needed the chill.

finished reading Kiki's Delivery Service
How did I go for so long not knowing there was a book? Granted I didn't even get around to watching the movie until this year...
Similar stories, but still very different. The book is the more cozy of the two. A fun, quick read.

finished reading Legends & Lattes: The Graphic Novel
I love the expressions in this book. Tandri's face when Amity first shows up was hilarious.
This was every bit as excellent as the original novel. Strongly recommended.

It was all right. Nothing much to say about it really. I think I would've liked it more had I read it twenty years ago, but somehow it just doesn't feel like what I'm looking for today, though I'd be hard-pressed to explain exactly why. Still, I'll probably pick up more from the series should I happen across them in thrift shops, just as I did with this one.

@Diplodocus I think I saw the term on some amateur writing site. Bit of a popular genre in such places lately, hard to find stories that stand out.
But yes, this series is going to keep me entertained for a while.
