The Outlaws Scarlett And Browne by Jonathan Stroud. Alfred A. Knopf, 2021. 9780593430361. 421pp. http://www.powells.com/book/-9780593430361?partnerid=34778&p_bt
I have great memories of reading Stroud’s Bartimaeus series and his standalone novel Heroes of the Valley with my daughter when she was a kid, and this entertaining page turner brought those memories right back. Sent in a steampunkish post-apocalyptic England filled with deadly creatures, walled cities, and adults who are jerks (and worse), the book centers on Scarlet, a lovable scoundrel who has penchants for violence and bank robbery. Fleeing the scene of a crime she meets the slight and awkward Albert Browne, alone in the wilderness. The two quickly find they’re being hunted by an armed group; Scarlett assumes they’re after her and the money she stole, but it turns out she’s wrong. Albert has a few surprises for her, including one that will help her career as a criminal (though that doesn’t seem to need much help).
The book isn’t entirely a nonstop chase at breakneck speed, though there’s always danger nearby. But I never doubted that Scarlett was a match for all challenges, including the stylish and nasty big bad she and Albert face at the end.

#olsstaffpick There are no monsters anymore, or so Jam has always been taught, but when the creature, Pet, emerges from a painting in Jam’s home, she’s not so sure anymore. With Pet hunting for a monster, and Jam becoming more and more certain there is something dangerous in her best friend’s house, time is running out for Jam to convince others that they’re not as safe as they think…

Whenever I asked my sister to create a character for a story I was writing when we were kids, they always ended up obsessed with dragons.
Can’t say I blame her!

When I was a kid, we were not “allowed” to put up the Christmas decorations (apart from Advent decorations) until Christmas break. Another bonus with having your own place now, I suppose!

One of the perks of being a teacher is that you get to see quite a few plays and concerts. Today I got to watch the local children’s Soul Choir perform their Christmas musical - which was brilliant!

When I was a kid, we always put the tree up together on the 23rd. Nowadays I tend to put it up a lot earlier
I didn’t put it up last year though - at all - due to severe stress. Which means my cat has never experienced it!
I’ll update you all on her reaction later
