Fannish 50 Challenge 2025: Post # 13: Postal Mail from Fen
Apr. 14th, 2025 06:46 pmride_4everIn March I got delightful postal mail from sidleypkhermit! It was a combination of two cards -- one card inside the other -- and a bunch of intensely adorable stickers. Great timing about the stickers because earlier this year someone gave me a sticker book -- which is the first time I am assembling my stickers all in one place and with an eye to some kind of intentional organization -- and now I'm going to make one section of the sticker book specifically "stickers from fen".

It was fascinating--more engaging than I feared, and I might even want to watch it again. Provides full context for the quote "Have you no sense of decency, sir?"
I'm starting on season three of Schitt's Creek and still fast-forwarding over some cringe interactions between the parents and the townspeople, but I really enjoy the interactions between all the family members, as well as pretty much everything the adult children do. I have nothing in common with the characters except in certain moments between the adult children and their parents that are Too Real.
2. Books: I finished The Return of the King and Beguiled, abandoned The Night Watchman, and am now reading Enlightened and A Memory Called Empire. I also recently started and finished Whale Fall by Elizabeth O'Connor, published last year and set on a Welsh island in autumn 1938 with a dwindling population and no future. It is an excellent, short, enjoyable read, and the audiobook narrator has a Welsh accent. My favorite line: "And, God have mercy, never marry." I found it via a recommendation on a librarian's website here: https://jessamyn.info/booklist
