Not A Book Friday

Based on the book series all about Chief Inspector Barnaby, or, well, I think that technically at the beginning it was heavily based on the book series. Now that the TV series is 24 seasons in, it’s become its own sort of thing too.

It’s an interesting balance, because it’s set in the small cozy seeming villages of the made up ‘Midsomer County’. But, there’s murder, oh there’s so much murder. Actually, I was sorta surprised that in some of the episodes there’s more than one, or even two murders. Yikes.

My favorite part though, has to be John Nettles. He plays the lead Detective Barnaby, and, again, such amazing balance. On the one hand, he’s this seemingly unassuming (oh, the episode where he gets put on a diet by his wife and daughter is hilarious) and subtly funny guy, but, also, he’s a good, no a really great detective. And, it’s written in a way that he’s not some ‘out of left field magical’ sort of detective, but, that when something else in his life clues him into the answer, it so far (I’m just starting in on Season 3 or 4 I believe) it makes sense to me that he got the solution to B from A.

It’s a pretty laid back mystery show compared to some of those that are playing these days, and, there are so many places to watch it at the moment too. It seems to be on Tubi and PlutoTV at the moment. And even Hoopla Digital has many of the seasons to borrow (although each episode takes a borrow… so, to get through 20+ seasons may take many many months… heh…). No matter how you do it though, it’s definitely worth a watch.

"why are you focusing on hating jk rowling getting money instead of the actual laws being passed?" yeah bro those laws do seem pretty awful and transphobic. i wonder who's lobbying for them?

#m #a mystery for the ages 🤔#surely wildly influential and wealthy people in the uk dont have an effect on the laws being passed #surely jk rowling just exists in a bubble

its really funny to me (and by funny i mean infuriating), how vastly different the acceptable levels of silly nonsense are between different eras of specifically the revival

its like, RTD era: incredibly dumb moment (affectionate), Moffat era: that's silly (derogatory), Chibnall era: I have to suspend my disbelief??? (borderline homocidal)

Silverborn Release Dates

Australia: August 28th, 2024

US: September 10th, 2024

UK: September 12th, 2024

The specifics could change but these dates have been around since May, so it seems that Silverborn is indeed delayed to 2024. There’s been no announcement from Jess as of yet, but she's also been on a social media hiatus since the delay.

#this is as of 8/8/23 but has been known since 5/4/23 #nevermoor #silverborn #the mystery of morrigan crow #book news #sharing bc idk how to edit wikipedia or the fandom wiki to update the dates #I just keep having to break the news to people and feel bad :( so figured I’d share it on here as well #the aus and uk links are for preorders!#the us link isn't because it's not available on barnes & nobles yet. but it's a site used in the industry with information from publishers!#I wish I could fix/update the release dates to the new ones bc people are googling and still getting the wrong ones and I feel bad </3 #between not much owlcrate merch and a delay I'm not getting much of a chance to use this blog 😔#also. I don't know the reason behind the delay and don't want to speculate too much or even blame!#it could be that jess is still dealing with long covid or it could be supply chain/industry issues. regardless I hope jess is doing okay ❤️

The Shell Grotto in Margate, UK has 4.6 million shells decorating its walls. Some over the years have been vandalised by the public, damaged by the soot from gas-lamps or simply fallen off. Nobody knows the reason for this grotto’s existence even the experts are lost.
