NaNoWriMo 2020

December 1st has rolled around again, and another year of NaNo is behind me. I set out with such good intentions...

( Alas, I am a fool )

Advent 2020 plans

December has rolled around at last, and I have a thrilling plan for it. It involves two advent calendars and a whole lot of books.

( I have a tea advent calendar and a candle advent calendar, and my thrilling plan for the month is to make myself a cup of tea, light a candle and read a book for an hour each day. )

Advent 2020 Day 1

Tea: Moroccan Spice - Cinnamon, chicory, licorice, peppermint, ginger and orange herbal tea.
Book: The Collected Raffles by E.W. Hornung
Candle: (Probably) Winter Wonderland

Reading Progress - pp169-223, The Fate of Faustina; The Last Laugh and To Catch A Thief

( Spoilers for Raffles )

It was a shorter session than intended today, so I may pick up the next story after quiz night.

( And indeed I did return )

Session number two of the night has nearly finished my candle, and got me through The Black Mask; next up is A Thief In The Night. I absolutely recommend Raffles if you like Holmes/Watson. There is a very good reason that most critics read Raffles and Bunny as in love with each other. Bunny is certainly besotted with Raffles, and although he is an unreliable narrator, I feel like his reading on the situation tends to err on the understated side. The affection is clearly very mutual.
