Welcome to Litsy!

Mesmerising.. Beautifully written, I couldn‘t put it down. Jessie Burton is fast becoming one of my favourite writers!

Another episode of DS9 I had to rewatch because I had succeeded in erasing the dreadful episode from my memory. Some people love the mischievous Lwaxana Troi, but I think she's one of the most annoying characters in the whole Star Trek Universe. I like this photo though, Odo looking impish.

DS9 4.21 #TheMuse A surprisingly triggering episode for me. A pregnant Lwaxana Troi tries to escape an abusive husband who will take away her child, while a very old alien bonds to a still adolescent Jake Sisko in a too-orgasmic-for-comfort way and feed on his inspiration. Well acted, plotted and a beautiful Lwaxana/Odo dynamic, but oy. Do I have to watch that? #startreksummerjune

Tagging a fine book on the actual Muses.

Dan Mallory, the author, says Hitchcock was #TheMuse for this story. I remember it as just another drunk, unreliable woman narrator story. And I don‘t remember him at all from Duke despite his being TV editor and my being food editor of paper at the same time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel like I should remember him because he sounds like a character, but I just don‘t. #StarTrekSummerJune

I bought a couple from B&N and my best friend gave me a bunch. These should keep me busy for a while.

I found "The Muse" to be a little underwhelming. I can imagine someone with an interest in art may have enjoyed parts of this book more than I did, but in general it was just okay. I enjoyed the charming characters and can appreciate that this certainly has a well crafted storyline but as I wasn't entertained, it's 3 stars from me.

Burton's books have the most beautiful covers... good thing I enjoy her story telling, too :) 📚 📖 #themuse #jessieburton
