Weekly media report - for the 3 weeks ending 2025 06 18
Books
A Cold Highland Wind, by Tasha Alexander. Seventeenth Lady Emily mystery; this time she and her man and the three kids are in Scotland with her BFF Jeremy at his estate. His gamekeeper is murdered and there are a host of local suspect. This mystery repeats Alexander's theme of "here's the thing that happened in the past that ties to the present", which continues to be sort of interesting with a side "enjoy my learnings for this book please." There's another one out and I've already put it into my library queue.
That Silent Night, by Tasha Alexander. Apparently there are a bunch of holiday novellas about Lady Emily! This is one of them and features Emily trying to find a Ghost of Christmas.
Movies & TV
Murderbot, Episodes 4-6. I get the people who say the 30-minute episodes are too short but they really have the feel of the old 70s Doctor Who cliffhangers, in a good way. Also I called how Ep. 6 was going to work out, even if not exactly how it ended.
Music
Garbage, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light. It's a Garbage record. I've listened to it a few times on repeat, which is more than I did with the last one so far. I like it but it's going to take a while to really gel for me.
Orbital, Radio Sessions 1993 - EP. Pretty sure I have heard all of these remixes on other albums' deluxe issues, but they're good mixes, Brant.
