Finished reading: Firestarter by Stephen King 📚 I know a lot of Stephen King books are considered scary, but so many of them, including this one, make me sad. Compulsively readable as King always is.
Did a bit of back-to-school shopping on ThredUp. Back on my romantigoth bull.
Finished reading: Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds by Gwenda Bond 📚

Finished reading: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Four: The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan 📚
Finished reading: The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 📚 🎧 Read by Stephen Fry as part of Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection. Doyle is phoning it in here. We get a softer Holmes, who will let people get away with crime if he decides that’s what’s just.
