I'll join @dabbe and @Cuilin in naming NPR as my personal favorite (and only) radio station I regularly listen to. My local affiliate WNYC is amazing: I listen in my car on 93.9 and stream it at home. I do miss having a music station (shout out to WFUV, my last fav) but I enjoy the new music updates from John Schaefer, and I'm not sure who selects the musical interludes between pieces, but they choose really good songs!

★★★☆☆

I bought this and read it to explore the clash of native worldview with Christianity in early mediaeval Ireland. The story was interesting and the writing was moving at times. It would have earned a higher rating if 1) it's central framing device wasn't that a pagan woman's writings somehow survived mediaeval Christianity into modern times in order to be translated by Horsely (so very unlikely that it borders on fantasy), ⬇️

Got off to a great start for #MarvellousMarch today. I finished Apples Never Fall on Audio, which I enjoyed. It wasn't my favorite Moriarty, but it was good. I also started and finished Holmes, Marple, and Poe, which was entertaining and quick. It's getting late - Poppy has already gone to bed (aka my lap), but I'm gonna get in a little nighttime reading of the tagged book. It's been a minute since I read book 1, so 🤞I am not lost.

“The little boy sat on the crown of a rocky hill, his thin arms hugging his scabby knees.“

A collection of stories about Sister Fidelma. Inevitably there is a fair amount of repetition when introducing the character in different stories, but I still enjoyed them, especially the last one, “Our Lady of Death“, which was actually quite atmospheric and creepy as a possible ghost story.
