That sounds like great fun LT! I've been reading Ann Cleeves. She's a British Author who wrote the books that led to the VERA series and Shetland series. I'm reading the VERA books ATM.

I'm a rightie but I can do a lot of things left handed, including write. Came in handy when I broke my right arm playing basketball! I think I whisk right handed.

Josephine Tey is awesome, for my money. Only six of them, though (I think).

Although the real intellectual heavyweight among British mystery novelists is Dorothy L. Sayers.

There's lots of companies doing art/chocolate/flower subscription boxes. Lush has one too!
I;ve heard of this company:

BuddyBox: A Self-Caring Hug In A Box | The Blurt Foundation

But i'd rather just pick items myself.

As a kid I would get two books delivered a month.

I've never read either of those--read lots of Agatha Christie when I was in that mystery novel mode. I'll have to check her out. Apparently, this is the third class in a series, so maybe they read Sayers in a previous class?

It's great when you make something that you feel like is some big confession to your T (of a past transgression), and he's basically like, "That's it?" Like he was disappointed that it wasn't something juicier. But ex-T's reaction to it was very different.... Dr. T said he was puzzled by her reaction.

The Blurt Foundation are great, and they offer a build your own Buddybox as well.
I've bought them and benefited greatly.

I am a fan of Sayers. I am okay with Tey and Margery Allingham. I am a fan of Sarah Caudwell and Ngaio Marsh (New Zealand) as well.

I finished The Irishman, actually "I Heard You Paint Houses" which inspired it. Wow.

Also last night watched the Italian murder mystery on PBS. Its odd how much i enjoy hearing italian spoken. I dont think i ever took a class in italian, i only ever heard it at home. But goodness, its like hearing very familiar voices. I didnt speak italian at home, but all my relatives did. I want to immerse myself in it now. I think im getting senile!

I listen to Brene Brown for her accent. It puts me right to sleep as she sounds like all of my female relatives. I think her content is pure drivel, but her voice is very calming to me.

I'm glad you clarified, SD. When you said you like to listen to Brene Brown I thought you had been body snatched.
