To quote the Ancient Aliens meme: I don't know, therefore Aliens!
I posted about two books finished today. I'm very much enjoying the Lethem but I am thinking it will need to hibernate for now as it is not compatible with my mood/mental space etc (will def come back as it is quite good), which leaves me with me mostly a clean slate except for one story collection which I am enjoying SO MUCH I ordered the physical copy. Will review (CONT)
pickBook 14 of 2025! This was a cute memoir of Jim O‘Heir‘s time playing Jerry on Parks & Recreation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dirty car. Gabrielle Solis. Only reason her house is ever clean is because of hired help. When she doesn't have maids her kitchen is a total sty. #two4tuesday
Me and Worf's mum sharing a cup of tea in the same glass 🍵🖖😊 (though hers was lapsang souchong from a replicator and mine was cinnamon and plum from a pot 🫖).
Worf's having family problems with his son, Alexander, this episode, and the subplot with the soliton wave propulsion system seems like an ill-conceived technology!
This was a very fun inside look into the world of TV fashion!
The book showcases a wide range of television shows, spanning all decades and genres. It is divided into different chapters based on style (ex. period shows, working women, and glamour to name a few). This organizational method worked so well (way better than it would be if it were chronological).

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was very fun. Mostly lighthearted behind the scenes stories of the creation of the show, casting, and production, including lots of quotes and interviews from cast and crew. Mostly admiring, but also covered issues like the low retention of women writers. Enjoyable listen!
Being a Whovian is such a niche thing here in the US. Even more so for my age group I suppose. So not book related but who watched this?! I cried sad tears and happy tears. My heart basically exploded. RTD is back baby!
