A historical novel about young Julius Caesar. It reminded me a bit of I, Claudius without all the action, if that makes sense. I‘m not sure if I was supposed to admire Caesar or reflect on the idea that how one begins is not always how one ends.

It‘s not Christmas without the Avengers 🌂🥂
Solstice reading 2/2.
Solstice reading 1/2 :)
Not dragon lizards as my secret (secret) friend likes English dragons. NB will not be making hats with this yarn again as I had the opportunity to watch it turn from beanie to bucket hat in three days.
Still reading. Reached out to “help/support” about the missing features (e.g. no photos, likes, comments, edits.
Anyone else missing features? I can no longer add or edit anything beyond titles.
Happy Halloween! I dressed up as a fanfic character from The Mirror Visitor series. This is a picture of the almost completed Ophelia scarf I wore.
Thought I had read this one but it‘s not on my shelf. ETA Diane Duane has yet to go awry. Another excellent voyage with an underlying theme regarding the essential nature of play.
