Good morning, Erin. I know— I know : I’m supposed to be finishing up Secretary Kim . And I was. I was motoring right along (with the exception of your request to start I’ll See You in My 19th Life (which absolutely needs to be on more than once a week!)), and then I saw that pretty actress from Sweet Home and It’s Okay to Not be Okay and said, “Oo, what’s this?” and then stayed up all night binging Celebrity . And now we’re here. And I hope you’re here with me—that is, that you’ve seen it, as well. Because there are things I need to talk to you about with this show. And I don’t want to be super-vague about them.  So, here’s the deal: I’m going to do my usual non-specific chatter because I don’t know if you’ve seen this or not, buuuuuuuuut I’m going to talk about one very specific thing very specifically and spoilery, with a clear indication of when that will be, so you’ll be able to skip it, if you want.  …but also go watch it so that I can talk to you about it ‘cus I reall...

Good morning, Erin.  I’m supposed to be reading anime books, right now. Well, I say “anime books,” but I mean light novels , which are essentially the not-especially-literary novels/novellas that are written often exclusively in the hope that they will be turned into an anime series. And then a manga spinoff. And then a series of erotic statuettes priced at hundreds of dollars.  Point is: every summer, I set about a task of…well, for the sake of brevity, “doing anime things,” and I decided that this year’s thing was putting some kind of dent in my 200-book backlog of light novels. I even picked out a handful I thought I’d most likely want to dig into.  …so obviously I picked up an unrelated literary-type novel and started reading that. Because the most important thing about plans is not giving yourself a chance to follow through on them.  Sigh .  It’s really good, though, so I’m not as annoyed at myself as I should be. It’s Book of Extraordinary Tragedies by Jo...

Good morning, Erin. When Netflix once again decided it didn’t want to let me watch anything because my sister and I—who went in on this account together—don’t live in the same house anymore, my plans to spend my Friday off jumping into The Good Bad Mother were somewhat curtailed. Which meant I had time to kill until my alternate viewing methods became available.  Did I start my You’re the Best! letter? Did I iron my work shirts for the week? Did I clean the pans in my sink? Of course not. I’m not one to waste my time like that. No, I decided to watch a handful of short Korean lesbian romance series on YouTube. Obviously.  That’s right, I did some absentminded clicking around on MDL and saw a show poster that set my yuri fanboy senses a-tinglin’—so what other choice did I have but to see for myself?  And I did. And it was. And so were the three other things I clicked on. And now you get to hear all about it. So, we’re all winners!  Now, when it comes to yuri , I’m ...
