purplecat: Servalan from Blakes' 7 (Blakes' 7)
[personal profile] purplecat
Reading: A Local Habitation by Seanan McGuire - I read the first Toby Daye novel last year (I think, maybe the year before) and initially sort of bounced off it a bit, but then when I treated it as a story in its own right rather than a Whodunnit, I got more into it. This one is more straightforwardly Whodunnity. I'm not necessarily raving about it, but I like the fact that the protagonist owns her various failings and errors, and I'm curious to know who the culprit is.

Listening: I've been listening to the episodes of Toby Hadoake's podcast that are not commentary (a fairly small number). Today's was on words that Doctor Who has taught us in which, among other things, I learned I've been mispronouncing Gillat (as in Gary Gillat) for at least a decade.

Watching: Just now, Blakes' 7, but I can recommend the Netflix Lupin series. I think of it as Lupin gets the Sherlock treatment, but its very much its own thing and has a different premise for the modern take.
