NEW BOOK SUBMISSION
THE BINDING OF BLOOM MOUNTAIN || SIGGY CHAMBERS
The Binding of Bloom Mountain is a cozy Appalachian Folk Horror set in an alternative Shenandoah Valley. The story follows Celeste Foster as the powers that be beckon her to a small town where the magic of a cursed mountain needs tended to.
I've decided that I'm going to post about the entries to the Queer Book Directory over here, and the way I'm going to decide which book gets posted is entirely up to the directory itself! Since the list is randomized each time the page is refreshed, I will pick whatever the first book shown is.
This time, the fates chose BoBM! This was one of my personal favorite books this year and I'm super excited to have it up on the directory!
SUMMARY
When Celeste Foster loses her job with the US Forestry Service, she finds solace in drinking herself stupid every night. But when she sees an ad that says “ADVENTURERS WANTED” and “compensation upon completion”, she pulls herself together to head for the town of Milton.
In the mountains of Northwest Virginia, she enters a portal to an alternate Shenandoah Valley. Here monsters and gods live alongside humans, and every family has magic in their blood. But a curse festers on the slopes of Bloom Mountain. A decade has passed with no one to bind the magic, and soon the curse will destroy Milton.
Armed with a recording, a bag of ritual items, and fresh scones from the cute barista that housed her, Celeste starts up Bloom Mountain. The Binding tests her endurance, sanity, and ability to adapt to this new world. If she can survive the horrors on the mountain, there might be more than just money waiting for her at the end.
The Binding of Bloom Mountain is an adult portal fantasy set in Northwest Virginia. There is light f/f romance, a cozy fantasy setting, and horror sections. See authors website for content information.
CONTENT WARNINGS
body horror, the death of children, horrific imagery, animal death, alcohol use, swearing, witchcraft, family secrets, mental, emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, drowning, death.

Ranking All Books by Holly Jackson
Since I've read all of Holly's books, I'm going to rank them! Disclaimer: This is my opinion. If we don't have the same opinion, then respect that. Let's go!
Warning: this may contain spoilers for all books published by Holly Jackson. If you don't want to be spoiled, then scroll away.
6. Killjoy (2021)
I found this story cute! Very fun and fast-paced. I loved seeing how it all started and loved seeing the friend group's dynamic again. I just found this to not be the best out of all of Holly's books (granted this is a novella, but it's not my fave). Also, too much Ant Lowe in my opinion. I would have preferred more Jamie Reynolds. Also, I personally think Connor and Zach should've kissed but oh well.
Overall, fun book! If you wanna go back to where it all started, then this novella is worth it.
5. Five Survive (2022)
Guys... I have a reason why this book is ranked so low. I'm going to start by saying that I did not hate this book. I found the story intriguing and was engaged once the action started. For her first standalone, this book was really good and exceeded my expectations. My main problem with this book was that I found that I could care less about the characters. Personally, I found Red Kenny to be a weak protagonist in comparison to Pip and Bel and, not to mention how I could care less about Red and Arthur. Red and Arthur are cute, but honestly, I could care less if they got together or not.
Again, I don't hate this book. For Holly's first standalone, it was really good. However, I found that I didn't really care for any of the characters.
Overall, good book! Wish I connected more to the characters because the premise is incredible.
4. Good Girl, Bad Blood (2020)
All books in the AGGGTM series are five star reads in my opinion, but I find this the weakest book in the trilogy. Honestly, I love this book with my whole heart. Coming from being Connor Reynolds's biggest fan, I love how much he appeared in this book and how he aided in finding Jamie.
I think this book suffers from what I've dubbed "Sequel Slump" - meaning that the first book is so good that the sequel "slumps" in comparison. In this case, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is so good that this book just "slumps" in comparison, and I think it's because it takes a while for the mystery to officially begin, since we're taken through a quick recap over the previous book's events and then the memorial.
Also, I personally think that Connor and Zach should've kissed. Connor going to Zach's house to play Fortnite after the memorial? Very fruity to me (joking... or am I?)
Overall, love this book. Wish it got more recognition in the fandom.
3. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (2019)
LOVE THIS BOOK. This book is fast-paced, thrilling and mysterious. It has a healthy dose of mystery and romance, along with characters I truly felt interested in. Pip's an amazing protagonist who fought hard to prove Sal innocent and find the real killer under the guise of her EPQ, all as she got the guy (Ravi Singh) in the end.
I loved that this book kept me guessing until the very end. I was suspecting everyone (Max, Jason, Naomi, Elliot, etc) and was genuinely surprised finding out Elliot killed Sal. Holly had written him to be such a likeable person that I couldn't believe he would kill Sal just so he could frame him as Andie's killer. AND BECCA? Never would've guessed it. Holly Jackson knows how to write compelling thrillers and I love that for her.
My only real complaint is again, Zach and Connor should've kissed. Connor honey I get that you liked Pip, but Zach Chen is literally right there. You boys are soulmates and I pray that the show recognises that (along with LauCara).
Overall, AMAZING BOOK. Deserves all the hype!
2. As Good as Dead (2021)
AHHHHH I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH. THIS BOOK IS HOW YOU END A TRILOGY GUYS. From the beginning, I was hooked by the mystery of Pip's stalker. This book broke my heart with Andie's email - poor girl was so scared of her father and died trying to escape him. I really like how this book doesn't give Andie a full redemption arc, rather it explains her actions. It really humanises Andie - a girl who grew up in a toxic environment and died trying to save herself and her sister.
My heart shattered when Pip broke up with Ravi. AND HIS SUGGESTION WAS TO MARRY SO THEY COULD GET SPOUSAL PRIVILEDGE??? RAVI FUCKING SINGH WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME???
The ending? EVIL. FUCKING EVILLLL BUT I LOVE HOLLY EITHER WAY. In my heart, I believe Pip got back together with him and they married. They also got another golden retriever in my mind after they got married.
Only complaint was WHERE WAS ZACH CHEN? CONNOR AND HIM SHOULD'VE KISSED WTF. Not to mention Lauren and Cara... Love my girl Steph though. Hoping that Lauren and Cara are a thing in the show though since we don't know much about Steph.
Overall, BEST BOOK IN THE TRILOGY GUYS.
The Reappearance of Rachel Price (2024)
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
THIS BOOK... I WILL ONLY SAY ONE WORD: BRILLIANT.
When Holly Jackson said that this book was her favourite, I can see why it is. While I struggled to get into it from the beginning, once I read past 100 pages, I was hooked. Bel Price is such a complex protagonist that I could find myself relating to. All the characters were just so complex and you truly don't know who's lying until the very end, when we find out (spoiler alert) that Charlie (Bel's dad) had ordered his father to kill Rachel.
Not to mention how insane the sibling plotline was??? I NEVER WOULD HAVE SUSPECTED THAT CARTER WAS RACHEL'S BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER. My heart broke when Rachel spoke about how Patrick took Carter away from her when Carter was only two weeks old. The Price family are truly disgusting - Rachel, Bel and Carter deserved so much better.
Also, I preferred the romance between Ash and Bel over Arthur and Red. Ash is such a fun character and I was genuinely sad when him and Bel weren't endgame. I believe that one day, in the near future, they reunite and get together officially.
Overall, LOVE THIS BOOK. If you haven't picked this up yet, then do so now!

Hey Kai!
3 - fave mission patch(es)
Good one! If we’re talking classic patches, there’s something so fun and whimsical about mercury 6 that I love
But overall STS 1 is just perfect. Like yes, that is what a space mission patch is supposed to look like. No notes.
I also really love sts 27 for that same reason. I love the rainbow and I love that the stars are meant to represent and pay honor to the late crew of the challenger that passed in the challenger disaster.
Also shoutout to Gemini 5 for being the worst
8 - fave space book
Again, this may be a boring answer, but Cosmos. This book changed my life, I think it’s one of the greatest pieces of science communication from the last century. I know pages and pages of it by heart. I hope to write like Carl someday. The accompanying show is also amazing.
And I think The Martian is my favorite in terms of fiction. That book is such a breath of fresh air. Andy weir really captured the spirit of space exploration with such great humor and heart. Again, boring answer.
15 - what food would you most want aboard?
I know tortillas are a big thing on the ISS because they produce less crumbs than bread, but as a Chicana I am super picky about tortillas and I know I’d hate them. Honestly I would want tuna. It’s such an underrated protein. Don’t know how well it rehydrates but it’s already pretty convenient in a can. My crew mates might hate me though!

Released fifty years ago today (6 November 1974) in US cinemas: Blood for Dracula (aka Andy Warhol’s Dracula). Watching it is a fun way to celebrate its director, titan of underground cinema and frequent Andy Warhol collaborator Paul Morrissey (23 February 1938 – 28 October 2024) – the man described by Glenn O’Brien as “an extreme prude making X-rated movies” – who died recently. Blood is free to stream on Amazon Prime (at least it is in the UK). It was filmed in 1973, immediately upon completion of Flesh for Frankenstein at the legendary Cinecittà Studios in Rome and co-produced with Warhol and Carlo Ponti (Sophia Loren’s husband). As Bob Colacello recounts in his essential 1990 book Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up, “It was a tough schedule: Ponti had given them eight weeks and an $800,000 budget to shoot both movies back-to-back. It was the first time the Factory crew had worked in 35mm – instead of 16mm – and the first film, Frankenstein, was shot in 3D.” In the striking opening credits, we watch in close-up as ashen-faced and consumptive Count Dracula (German actor Udo Kier) morosely applies rouge and lipstick to his anemic face and jet-black dye to his brows and hair. The film’s central joke is that Dracula requires the blood of virgins (pronounced “were-gins”) to survive, so he and his manservant journey from Romania to the Catholic realm of Italy in hopes virgin blood will be more plentiful. Blood is noteworthy for the presence of directors Roman Polanski and Vittorio de Sica in small roles, and for being the last two Factory films directed by Morrissey and starring Joe Dallesandro (who, of course, appears in various stages of undress). As Colacello concludes “Dracula had its moments, but it wasn’t one of Paul’s best. It lacked the kind of pathos and biting social observation that gave the humour of Trash, Women in Revolt and Heat their depth and edge. Perhaps Paul and Andy … were too American, too Pop and camp to do justice to this Central European legend. You can’t send up what you don’t own.”

Timothy Olyphant, 55, is an actor who starred in Deadwood, Live Free or Die Hard, and Justified. He will star in the FX miniseries Justified: City Primeval this fall and currently co-stars in the Max miniseries Full Circle. He spoke with Marc Myers before the actors strike.
TIMOTHY:
You couldn’t get me out of the pool when I was a kid. We lived next door to a swim and racket club in Modesto, Calif.
I began regular swim practice at age 6. My older brother, Andy, took to tennis, which probably helped us get along. We were competitive. Our younger brother, Matt, did a little bit of everything and eventually became a water-polo player.
I was born in Hawaii, but we moved to Modesto when I was 3. My dad, Bevan, worked for Del Monte and left to work at E&J Gallo Winery soon after we relocated to California. He started in bottling and worked his way up to vice president of production.
My mom, Katherine, was a full-time mom. She was the nurturing type. Whether I won or lost, she’d always talk about how well I competed or how beautiful a swimmer I was, never about whether I won or not. She’s very sweet and encouraging.
Just as I was starting high school, my parents divorced. After they split up, we quickly figured out who was responsible for what. For example, our dad didn’t really know how to do laundry or cook. If we were going over to his place, we’d probably be eating out.
When you’re young, any time your foundation gets rocked, it sets you back a bit. I’d been a good student when my parents were together, but there definitely was a dip after the divorce. I kind of saw what I could get away with and wound up just an okay student.
I wasn’t in school plays. I’m not sure I saw that side of me yet. Instead, I was at swim practice and hanging with my buddies. I also liked to draw a lot, which I suppose is how I expressed myself.
I was a solid swimmer in the Central Valley. I set a CIF SAC-Joaquin Section Record and wound up with an All America Swimming Certificate. By my senior year, I realized swimming was my ticket out of town and certainly the only way I’d get into a great university.
I worked hard. After USC saw the times I was posting, they called to recruit me for the team. When I flew out to USC on my recruit trip, I met with the dean of the architecture school. He said there was no way I could manage both the swim team’s practice schedule and the rigors of the architectural program.
I asked him about the art gallery downstairs. He said it was part of the fine-arts department. I didn’t even know you could get a degree in that. I met with the fine-arts dean and asked if I could be on the swim team. He said we’d work it out.
Majoring in fine arts for me was like winning the lottery. In high school, I’d get in trouble for drawing when I was supposed to be doing schoolwork. Now, in college, drawing was my schoolwork.
After my senior year, I left USC several electives shy of a degree and didn’t finish until the pandemic. But before I left, I met some drama majors who got me thinking about acting.
By then, my college girlfriend, Alexis, and I had married. We moved to Seal Beach, south of Los Angeles, where I coached swimming. To fulfill some of my electives I took an acting 101 class at UC Irvine. I had a ball. It was a language I understood immediately.
I read Stanislavsky’s and Sandy Meisner’s books on acting. I realized that it wasn’t a frivolous pursuit but a craft on par with how artists I admired approached painting and sculpture. I told Alexis I was thinking about pursuing acting rather than a master’s in fine art. She said, “Tim, just do something. Just pick one thing and do that.”
The guy who taught the intro class was a graduate student who recommended I study with Bill Esper at the Esper Studio in New York. Fortunately, Alexis’s dad lived there and let us move into his place.
My career has been many little steps—a lot of one step forward, two steps back. I’m not sure if there was any one role that really changed things, but landing the lead in “Justified,” in 2010, certainly helped things along.
Today, Alexis and I live in Los Angeles and have three grown kids. We moved in 15 years ago and love the house and neighborhood. I still draw and swim.
Breakfast is my favorite meal. I make steel-cut oatmeal in my rice cooker, which has a porridge setting. When I come home from swimming and have my oatmeal, I feel like I’m 8 again. And you know what? That feels pretty good.
—————
Timothy’s Digs:
Full Circle? I play Derek in the miniseries about a kidnapping gone awry and the family secrets exposed.
Blissful space? Sitting in a blue chair in the kitchen having coffee with my wife.
Cool buy? A painting by an artist I’ve admired for at least a decade or so.
Tennis? I play with my brother and oldest daughter. The fact that they play with me means the world.
Youngest daughter? Vivian. She’s an actress in the coming season of Justified: City Primeval.

My September Reads Ranked
I dnfd 2 books this month, so I only have a list of books I liked. I dnfd Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and A Spiral of Need by Suzanne Wright. I thought both of these were going to be 5 star reads for me, but I was wrong.
1. Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig: I loved this series with every fiber of my being. The characters we’ve had the pleasure of meeting in the first book, get together to find a missing magical artefact. In the process, Gillig blesses her readers with a tender romance and an abundance meaningful character arcs. The magic system is unique, the plot is crazy, and the writing is beautiful. It’s the best time, and the dialogue between the characters is addictive. The Shepard King series is hands down the best fantasy series I’ve read all year, and probably the best fantasy series I’ll ever read. I have the special editions (coming out this month) on preorder.
2. Half a Soul by Oliva Atwater: As a child, Dora has half her soul taken by a fairy. Both of her parents are dead, so she ends up with her bitch of an aunt and her pretty cool cousin. This takes place in the regency era in London. Dora’s pretty cool cousin is sent to London to find a husband and insists on Dora coming along, and there Dora meets a grumpy magician named Elias. Dora and Elias’s banter is a ton of fun, and their romance is endearing. The book is cozy and heartfelt. I loved it.
3. Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett: Another fantasy book I loved. Emily is an eccentric professor obsessed with the folk, and Wendell Bambleby is obsessed with Emily. Together they are giving the hot version of Mary and Dick from 3rd Rock from the Sun. They are too funny together and find themselves in the craziest predicaments, and I already read the second book too. I can’t wait to read the 3rd book in Feb. of next year.
4. Brother by Ania Ahlborn: Brother is about a serial killer family that lives in the Appalachian Mountains. This shit is crazy, and it goes from bad to worse. Yk right off the bat you're not getting a happy ending. The plot is revealed through the two main characters in a compelling way, and the narration goes from following our main protag to past recollections of another character that's bat shit insane. I loved that Ahlborn's writing has an almost casual tone bc it lets you feel the normalcy the main protag, Michael, feels. He doesn't fully realize he's in a totally insane situation. It's perfect to kick off the spooky season, especially if you like reading about super dysfunctional families.
The following are Ruby Dixon books. These are all books about a romance between a human and a big, buff blue alien. They have a ton of smut.
5. The Corsair’s Bed by Ruby Dixon
6. Barbarian’s Seduction Ruby Dixon
7. Barbarian’s Tease by Ruby Dixon
8. Barbarian’s Beloved by Ruby Dixon
9. Barbarian’s Treasure by Ruby Dixon
10. Enticed by The Corsair by Ruby Dixon
11. Monstrilio by Gerardo Samano Cordova: I liked this book, but the time jump in the second half was jarring and didn’t make a whole lot of sense.
I planned on reading House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski and Babel by R.F. Kuang in October, but I don’t feel like it. With House of Leaves I saw a lot of talk about how you read it mostly for the unique narrative, and I don’t think I’m in the head space rn to read something for that reason. Then I read a discourse about how Babel is mostly telling instead of showing, and that’s not my cup of tea. In retrospect, I think that’s the main reason I couldn’t stand Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin and Red Rising by Pierce Brown (despite their popularity). I’ll read both these books eventually and give them a go, but I’m not in the mood for them.
I ordered like 10 books, and I’ll see what I end up reading.

garak for the character ask game! Qs 4, 6 and 12
HOORAY IT'S HORRIBLE LIZARD TIME!!!!
4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?
that's a toughie.......... 🤔 i think there are a lot of extremely funny crossovers you could do with him in it. but ngl i think it would be hilarious to see him in st prodigy. can you imagine how funny it would be for the writers to have to try and manage him in a kids show lol. idk if that's cheating since it's technically still star trek but the thought lives in my head rent free. i would love for him to fill in the spot of campy antihero cartoon character that a lot of shows have
6. What's something you have in common with this character?
if the wire is anything to go off of, we both don't like cold temperatures and bright lights. for him it's because he's a cardassian for me it's sensory issues lol. we're also both kinda chubby and have Scary Eyes 👁👁
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
semi-related to the last answer but fat garak is Real. to Me. in canon he's just average with some slight softness to him but i like to exaggerate it in my art and i appreciate it when others do as well.
kind of an obscure one but that one fic andy and sid read where him and bashir are married (sorry i forgot the name) featured garak having arthritis once he gets older and that's a headcanon i have for older garak now as well.........
other misc headcanons: mila is DEFINITELY his biological mother. garak and dukat had a messy horrible situationship as young men and they both mutually prefer to pretend it never happened. garak is definitely some flavour of queer but that one was obvious. probably a whole lot of other stuff i'm forgetting lol

Vacation recap, feel free to skip
Andy and I spent seven nights at a Sandals resort in Curaçao and it was incredibly expensive and so, so great. 5 stars, would recommend.
The resort is the newest Sandals resort, and apparently their opening a few years ago was delayed and pretty rocky because of covid so early reviews were decidedly mixed. Everything seems to have been ironed out and from our perspective everything was super smooth.
We flew out from a big airport an hour away at 6 am so the trip started with dropping the kids off the night before and getting up at 2. We were at the resort in time for a late lunch and they had our stuff brought to our room and a cheese plate and wine and balloons and a card for our anniversary in the room when we got up there. The staff were incredibly attentive and they all seemed invested in keeping the guests happy. They all were cheerful and pleasant and went out of their way to make things as easy for us as possible.
Our room looked out over a gorgeous garden with a peek of the ocean beyond and a sort of lazy river pool below us, which was incredible. It felt secluded and the garden was always abuzz with tons of birds and butterflies. We spent a bunch of time in the mornings out on the balcony with coffee watching the hummingbirds and these big yellow butterflies that were the exact same color as some of the flowers, so it looked like the flowers would just pick up and flutter away.
The resort is pretty large so they have bicycle racks scattered around and you can just hop on a bike and leave it wherever you decide you're done with it. The main pool was lovely and they have entertainment going next to it all day. The "quiet" pool isn't actually far enough away from the entertainment to be quiet but there are other smaller pools scattered around that are very quiet. The beach is on a channel, protected by a dock, with tons of beach chairs and palapas. There's another area of beach to walk on that's too rocky and rough for swimming but it's very pretty to look out at -- pure turquoise water that drops of suddenly into dark blue.
The food and drink are all included and very good. There were a few perplexing things (a "charcuterie tray" that included one very thick slice of garlic bread and slices of salami wrapped around chutney to make little pouches???) but there's a solid variety and the service was usually very good, especially for the number of people they're feeding. They have three tiny restaurants in food trucks that are open most of the day and they were so good. Each restaurant has its own style (sushi, Italian, Greek, South American, etc.) and they do a great job with the menus. We were asked at every single meal about allergies or food issues and they took it very seriously. There is room to improve in their desserts but my standards there are very high. There are bars scattered all over and most of them have signature drinks that are delicious.
One of the days we were there we hired a guy through a local tour company to take us all over the island and it was amazing. We saw a million things we'd never have known to even look for and we snorkeled with sea turtles and got fresh coconuts and ate an amazing meal at a little hole in the wall kind of place. It was supposed to be eight hours but we were having a great time and he kept wanting to show us other stuff so we were out for ten full hours and were exhausted when we got back.
The trip home was annoying -- delays and multiple gate changes on both legs of the flight, so we got home at 3:30 a.m. instead of midnight, but it could have been a whole lot worse and we were already planning on the girls spending the extra night at my parents' so we were the only ones impacted by it. The girls had a great week with my folks and it seemed easier on them than we expected. We FaceTimed with them for a few minutes every day and that def helped.
The best price you'll ever get at a Sandals is if you book another trip while you're still there, so we did. You can book up to two years out and you can change your details for most of that time so we have almost two years to figure it all out, but this trip was so lovely that we both very much want to do it again. It's wildly impulsive of us to commit without blocking out budget and childcare and stuff ahead of time but this trip was so great that we were like "we'll figure it out, let's just do it."
Overall, it was an incredible week, and it was really great to have so much time with Andy to just hang out and have fun. I'm so glad we did it. The end.

Album Review: The Police "Synchronicity" Deluxe Edition
Last year it felt like I got to have my own reunion of seeing The Police. The legendary trio took the world by storm in the 70s and 80s and reunited from 2007-2008. But for me, last year I got to see guitarist Andy Summers live (and he actually shared my review on his social media), a month and a half later I got to see singer / bassist Sting live, and while I didn't get to see drummer Stewart Copeland I did get to cover his book The Police Diaries. All of this served to remind me of what a force of nature The Police were. An argument could be made that they were the greatest band ever because in the span of six years (1978-1983) they released five albums and all of them were excellent. The band’s mix of punk, reggae, and new wave caught on in the MTV era, but it was Sting’s brilliant lyrics and songwriting that made the band. By the time of the group's fifth album Synchronicity's was released on June 17, 1983 they were possibly the biggest band in the world, selling out arenas and about to start selling out stadiums, and they were all over radio and MTV. Of all their albums, which were all great, this is their best, and one of the best of the 80s. It's also their biggest-selling at 8 x platinum and reached #1! When I saw both Summers and Sting last year, both performed songs off of this album. The album contains some of their finest songs, i.e. “King of Pain”, “Every Breath You Take” and both “Synchronicity I” and “II”. Celebrating the um, well, 41st anniversary of the album, Synchronicity is getting the deluxe 6-CD box set treatment this week.
album cover
CD1 is the original album remastered from the original source tapes. CD2 is B-sides, rarities, and live versions. CD3 and 4 are alternate takes of the songs. CD5 and 6 are from a 1983 concert in Oakland, CA. The box set comes with a 62-page book as well. [NOTE: for this review I did not get to view the book].
the box set
For me, I actually got into The Police later than most people. I discovered Sting's solo work and then worked backwards and got into The Police. This is easily their best studio album and I have my copy on vinyl. The remastered album (CD1) is phenomenal. As for the box set, it definitely delves into For Fans Only territory more often than not. The alternate takes are interesting in terms of hearing the songs we know in a different way, but they don't add too much to the album experience. The live performance is pretty awesome and could easily be its own live album. The original is an out and out classic, but at 6 CDs and 84 songs, it feels a little fat.
For info on Synchronicity
Original album: 5 out of 5 stars
Box set: 3.5 out of 5 stars
