What I am reading Wednesday

[scripsi]

What I am reading now: Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers, and A Private Disgrace by Victoria Lincoln.

What I have finished reading: Vernon House by Sandra Farris. Ghost story about a woman who builds a house and finds a letter that indicates that a previous owner has been murdered, about 100 years earlier. I could say a lot about this book, but I won’t. Let’s just say that I can’t recommend it.

Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family by H. P. Lovecraft. A short story about a man who finds out that his great-great grandmother was something else than human. rather disturbing story about evolution going backwards and some unsavoury views on inheriting the sins of the father (or mother).

What I will be reading next: Unnatural Death by Dorothy L. Sayers.

He by H. P. Lovecraft.

What I have been watching: Orphan Black and Penny Dreadful, of course, both approaching their finales. I’m so, so happy that there will be a next season for both of them, these are easily my favourite series right now.

Husband and I have binge-watched season 6 of Doctor Who and just has one episode left. This is easily my favourite season when it comes to Eleven.

Dig is a bit of a slow go, it has some topics that makes it hard to watch, but I like it. And lots of Jason Isaacs without a shirt, which can only be good.

We have also started with Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. A lot less complex than the book, of course, but the casting is stellar as if the filming and the costumes. If I have one complaint, then it is that we don’t get enough insight in Stephen, which, considering what happens to him, seems a bit odd. But apart from that, I love it!

Still need to catch up with Penny, but Orphan just blew my doors off with the last episode!

Ohhhh, I adore Season Six!!! *DANCES*

*HUGS*

I'm loving the adaptation of JSMN, too! There are a few odd changes, but mostly it's a marvellous treat to watch. If you've only just started it, let me assure you that you'll get more of Stephen soon.

Oh yes, me too! It was fantastic!

Yes, it's my favourite Eleven season. :) So many episodes to love (and cry to).

*hugs*

I've catched up on all episodes now. I love it, but I do feel that Stepehen is treated a bit badly. You don't get any good sense of how badly he is affected by the Man with the Thistle-down Hair. My husband, who hasn't read the book, doesn't get that he suffers at all. But that's a minor detail, as a whole I think they have done a marvellous job with the adaption!

S6 of Doctor Who is just wonderful! It's my favourite, too. ♥ And I haven't seen the show, but I love the book Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell!

It is! <3

I love the book, so I was a little scared of the series, but I Think they are doing a good job.
