oh man, saint of bright doors was GOOD

I was going to tell you to let me know when you had finished it so I could tell you a joke, but then I realized the joke was about Adrian Tchaikovsky's City of Last Chances (also GOOD but definitely not the same book)

Well, now I want the joke, even if I don't get it! VIRGINIA! I owe you like THREE DOZEN EMAILS. Does one handwritten letter on Italian paper make up for the deficit??? I'm so sorry I'm behind, but you're in my thoughts daily, and I just... want... to... WRITE... to YOU.

Ah ha! ANOTHER rec for Saint of Bright Doors. That book is SO gonna get ATE. By me.

The joke is: "he's a leg man."

You owe me nothing! Our love beams back and forth across the continent, leaving trails of blessing across the weirder corners of northern Alabama! I receive your thoughts, wrap them in cobwebs and craft glitter, and send them back to you!

I always love a letter, though.

(I thought I would spend my covid convalescence writing a million letters like a gothic heroine, but no, I've been sleeping)

Yes, "Polite Society" was DA BOMB!

And I am loving the heck out of "Starling House" right now. :)

Take care of YOURself, Claire. We need you.
