Mostly a lurker. Twitter refugee. Geriatric Reylo. I explain what words mean for a living.

I made myself sick all weekend about a contentious meeting today, and it turned out okay! Curse those brain weasels.

Apropos of nothing, I’ve recently decided to cut back on news and read more. I’ve just started in on Daphne DuMaurier and have read Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and Jamaica Inn. What should I read next?
