My reading of the novel and Emerald Fennell's reading are very different and that's fine. She read it...

Shrew paused on her beech nuts gathering to sniff the air. Spring is coming, she thought.
I must light a new moon candle tomorrow to welcome it in.
It's My BIRTHDAY! I've left my twenties behind and hit the ol' thirty. How did that happen?
If you'd like to support any of my endeavors today (I'm allowed to shamelessly birthday plug) consider backing the TTRPG I've been illustrating for @gejwatts.bsky.social, The Deepest Dark. We're so close!
Happy Birthday!
