Finally, my type of quiz! Knowing I'm a weird, fairly even mix of all four Thursday Murder Club members makes me happy
(Here it is if anyone's curious)

Do you like cosy British murder mysteries? I heartily recommend Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series. I just finished book 2. I laughed, I cried, I ached, I was warmed. And I guessed whodunnit, but only because I guessed just about everyone at some point or other, because I'm a sucker like that. I'll claim it. Anyway, it's a group of four old dears in a rest home who solve murders in their spare time, and it's ever do jolly. They will bring the police in if and when it suits them, but no hurry on that front, and there will probably be cake and biscuits along the way, and maybe some of those herbal teas that everyone seems to be drinking these days, but can anyone remember whether you're supposed to leave the teabag in or out? Meanwhile, how am I going to get that blood stain out of my carpet? Such a nuisance.

As the nights get longer and summer starts to feel like it might be over, I'm beginning to turn my attention to the wonderful festive season that is the British Autumn TV Schedule! There are many things I'm excited about. If you also get excited about one or more of these things and want to chat or like make sure I'm following you or something go for it! And if you want me to use specific tags so you can make sure to avoid spoilers or seeing stuff that you are not personally excited about please let me know and I'll do my best. I don't normally watch things live as my time zone and work schedule conspire against me so I'm constantly blocking and unblocking tags and keywords.
The shows I'm excited for include:
Doctor Who 💙💙
Bake Off
Strictly
Taskmaster
Ghosts
House of Games (relatedly but not TV I'm also looking forward to the new Thursday Murder Club book)

[...]The fourth main character, a retired nurse called Joyce, has not yet been confirmed. “Joyce, we’re still in negotiations but again the name is the one that people most shout at me in the street” Osman said.[...]
OMG,does that really mean Penelope Wilton?!?!?!?!?! because on twitter her name is mentionted the most for Joyce (not sure about the street tho lol) Anyway 🤞🤞🤞

I wonder if Bogdan Jankowski might actually be my favourite fictional character of all time

So, as well as watching murder mysteries, I very much enjoy reading them, but I never thought of posting about the books I read here before. In all honesty, I'm not great at knowing how to write about books! But I thought I might give it a try
Tumblr media
I recently read the fourth instalment in Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series—a series which became an instant favourite when I read the first book a couple of years ago. And not a single book has disappointed since! Osman's style is snappy and he's able to balance wit and poignancy without ever becoming saccharine. Each character has a distinct voice, but it never feels jarring to switch between them each chapter.
And the latest book, The Last Devil To Die, might be my favourite yet! It's incredibly emotional—one part, which I won't spoil, but might not be the part anyone who's read it is thinking of, made me downright sob—but still funny and insightful and, more importantly, a damn good mystery. Very much looking forward to the new series—about a father in law & daughter in law detective duo—he teased in the notes at the end

Joyce's diary in chapter 3:
"Joanna bought me a lovely present: it’s a flask they use in space, and it has Merry Christmas, Mum! Here’s to no murders next year engraved onto it."
Joyce's diary, chapter 13:
"I am looking at my flask now. Here’s to no murders next year. That would have been nice. Or would it? I’m beginning to forget what I did before all the murders started happening. I remember I was going to learn to play bridge, but that’s gone on the back burner. I’ve also got more episodes of Morse backed up on my Sky Plus than I know what to do with."
- from The Last Devil To Die by Richard Osman

''More women are murdering people these days,' says Joyce. 'If you ignore the context, it is a real sign of progress.''

So, we have got a top cast for 3 of the members of The Thursday Murder Club, with Joyce in negotiations, but apparently its the person people have said they want to see the most. Personally, I'm hoping for Judi Dench, or Brenda Blethin.
Not only that, but it's being filmed this summer, between June and Septemer (as said by Richard on The Rest Is Entertainment)! And all in England too!
I was so scared they'd Americanise this film, but I'm so glad they haven't.
