HaBO: She Witnesses a Crime at a Ball

This HaBO was sent in by Jamie, who wants to find this historical romance: I am hoping to get some help on finding a book that I read over 10 years ago. It was a hardback book that I got at a used book sale. The cover was a reddish color, with a photo of a woman in a red or gold dress facing away from the camera on the back. It’s a regency-era historical … Continue reading HaBO: She Witnesses a Crime at a Ball

Kickass Women in History: Arnarulunnguaq

I don’t know why, but I am a total sucker for books about Arctic and Antarctic exploration. Bring me your frostbite, your scurvy, your long marches, and, above all, bring me my warmest pajamas and a hot cup of tea and we have what I consider to be the perfect ingredients for a cosy night in. The Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration (1897ish – 1922ish) and the many efforts to locate the Northwest Passage in … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Arnarulunnguaq

Yes, The Muppet Show Reboot is Terrific

IT SUCKS when great shows are on the platforms of fuckass companies, but here we are. The Muppet Show reboot was a direct hit of nostalgia, dopamine, and earnest joy that I needed and I was more and more charmed the longer I watched. I’m old enough (ahem) to remember the original Muppet Show, and this reboot is faithful to the format while updating with jokes, references, and the presence of Sabrina Carpenter, whose resemblance to … Continue reading Yes, The Muppet Show Reboot is Terrific

I also found a recording … Continue reading Friday Videos Like Irving Berlin
