I think my library has the second but not the first one, which is annoying! <br /><br />Yes, The Terror is very Lovecraftian so far. Ridley Scott is the exec producer, and apparently it has been in the works for a while.

I have, eaten them all. <br /><br />Your haywire weather sounds much like ours. Cold one minute, blazing hot the next day. Rainy or bone dry. Pollen exploding everywhere. Mostly oak. Thankfully I think it is waning a bit. <br /><br />Nightbird!! I loved that book! I wanted to try and make the Pink Apple Pie on the back but I gave the book away before I remembered about the recipe. I really enjoy Alice Hoffman's books. The Green Witch/Green Angle/Green Heart stories are short but powerful. I will check out A Dash of Trouble. Running Out of Time sounds amazing too. Thanks for telling me about them!<br /><br />Ooooo.... I will write this series down. It sounds a little HP Lovecraft-ish. Like the Mountains of Madness? I watched the first episode of Outlander since it was free but I have not watched any other episodes. I am afraid I will loose my ability to visualize Jamie. And I don't want that to happen.

Yum!<br /><br />March went by in a flash. We've had an astounding variety of weather, and allergies are making everyone red-eyed and sneezy. Work has been nuts but should calm down a bit over the next few weeks.<br /><br />On the plus side, I read a few middle grade books that I enjoyed: Nightbird by Alice Hoffman and A Dash of Trouble by Anna Meriano, both witch- and baking-themed, but in very different ways. I also read Running out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix, a suspenseful page turner about a girl who thinks she's living in 1840's Indiana but it's actually a living history museum in the 1990s. <br /><br />Haven't watched a lot of tv lately, but I did stumble across The Terror, a "what might have happened" series about a real-life British expedition in search of the Northwest Passage. The excellent actor who plays Blackjack/Frank from Outlander is in it. Watched the first two eps and can't wait for the next one. Extremely creepy!
