Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

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!
pickStayed up late listening to this propulsive, chilling take of a former child star who is unable to outrun the doomed cult horror movie she starred in as a child. Is the film really cursed, or is a murderer on the loose? Highly recommend. #audiobooks
As a horror writer, I‘m trying to listen to the audiobooks available of the novels on the preliminary ballot for the 2023 Bram Stoker Awards. #horror #audiobooks
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!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An impeccably-researched oral history of one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. Sadly, husband and I never finished the last couple of seasons (kids truly ruin tv time). I will hopefully remedy this soon! From casting, to character quirks, to contract negotiations and so on, this well laid out account covers it all. While the actors do not narrate, the full-cast audio crew did a fab job bringing this to life.
pickI have to admit, I only recently watched this show. I was busy with life when it originally aired, but I have now binged all seasons and needed more. 😁
This book is written in interview style, which I personally loved. It gives so much information on how the show came together, the writers, the actors, and even the struggles.
It was fun to revisit one of my favorite sitcoms and all those who made it great.
