There’s a new First Aid Kit album coming out in January! (And apparently they do still call them albums, thank goodness!)

reading list
OK, so I am probably the last to know this, but Gary Blackwood (whom you may know from The Shakespeare Stealer) has written a Victorian murder mystery called Bucket’s List about the investigator who inspired Charles Dickens’ Inspector Bucket, and there are all kinds of delicious references to Dickens throughout.
I’m finally getting around to reading Down Among the Sticks and Bones, the second (?) in the Wayward Children series. I really loved Every Heart a Doorway, which made me almost not want to read the rest of the series — in case it didn’t feel like a perfect follow-up — but we all know I can only wait so long before I just give in and read the book anyway.
