What I’ve been watching:
Finished seasons one and two and I’m now at the beginning episodes of season three. There’s a speculative aspect to this show that wasn’t apparent until the second season: parallel universes. When it comes to TV, I really do enjoy both time travel and parallel universes. I haven’t been as absorbed in such a complex show since 12 Monkeys. I’m loving it, there’s no room to drift while watching, you need to keep your eye and mind engaged with it at all times, which is something I really need right now.

I’m actually unapologetic about it! I do fold corners. I write in books. I highlight paragraphs. It’s how I show my love and engagement with them 🙂

Oh no! I can’t fold corners, and I try very hard not to damage spines, but I do write in my books, a lot – but in pencil so that, theoretically, it can be erased!

I’ve never folded a corner ever and I hate it when you get a book that’s bound so stiff that you can’t avoid creasing the spine when reading it.

Me too … and my daughter too. Don’t you love a spine where the book just flops open in your hands? A thing of beauty!

I love bookmarks, but I rarely use them these days, because I mostly read eBooks and audiobooks.

Ahhh, well they are certainly obsolete in that case. You can get some really lovely ones though.

There is a special circle of hell reserved for people who dog-ear books. Just finished The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida myself – it took a couple of strange turns, I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of it!

I’m about halfway, a bit over maybe. It’s an intriguing read so far.
