shallowness

I did watch Strike live (over the returning Agents of SHIELD, but that was an extra-long ep), but I wanted to check a couple of things against the book, and haven't had a chance to post until now.

Way back at the start of the week, I posted We Are Golden - a Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye ficlet (Sue/Jack, post-canon). Summary: The new ring on her finger keeps catching the light, drawing Sue’s eye.

First off: Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye? ( Read more... )

So, the driver of the fic ( Read more... )

In other fannish news, because The Lake House has been in the ether and because I was under the weather, I rewatched the 90s adaptation of Persuasion. ( Read more... )

I then went back to watching The Lake House on Valentine’s Day, which is accidentally apt. It made me think I should push 'Persuasion' up my rereading list, because from memory, TLH's take on the book is...selective.

And I have seen The Shape of Water. (Swoon.) ( not massively spoilery )

Finally, Strike: Career of Evil is being aired really soon – at the end of the month.

In the meantime, when is the next book going to be published???

I didn’t realise that they’d be adapting each novel in three parts or that we’d be getting more than one – the build-up passed me by, I only saw the one trailer once. Also I’ve only read each novel the once, so my memory of the books may be hazy. My reaction to the adaptation, on the whole, is positive.

I will be watching bits of the adaptation of ‘The Silkworm’ through my fingers.

Huh, the number of fics up at AO3 has not exploded - I was expecting there to be slash by now. Perhaps after the episodes have finished airing/when it airs in the US... On the other hand, who knows if there will ever be icons.

I'm not going to discuss the thing that happened in the UK today, because this is a place to express my fannishness and talk about popculture for me, beyond wondering if Rowling will be able to resist using this period as a setting for one of her Cormoran Strike mysteries, eventually. Anyway, I finished 'The Silkworm' by Robert Galbraith AKA J.K. Rowling last night. I was fairly gripped by the story, so I hope I can get across the third book soon (but I'd like to have it in hardback, as I've done with the frist two so it depends on how quickly I come across a second-hand copy, really.)
