REVIEWS:
Valerie reviewed My Youtube how to cite videos as it has awkward phrasing and the closed captioning is annoying; she really enjoyed Malvolia in National Theatre's Twelfth Night, playing through Thursday & reviewed 'Love Never Dies' as controversial, but not wholly terrible & she is curious about what Andrew Lloyd Webber will release next week
Lisa reviewed 'Love Never Dies' as it did not hold her attention
Dave Wallace reviewed the Hugo nom'd 'Good Omens' miniseries as really, really good & was impressed with the acting & story, highly recommended & reviewed a John Scalzi book, 'The Last Emperox' as worth reading, Rick followed, saying he is having a blast of a time reading the book
Cliff reviewed a 'Picard' as made by a Berkeley native & he has enjoyed it & recommends it, Bob followed that his personal taste did not find it enjoyable & Cliff reviewed Patrick Stewart reading a Shakespeare sonnet a day on Facebook as a lot of fun = https://mymodernmet.com/patrick-stewart-shakespeares-sonnets/
John O reviewed his Hugo Reading the novella, 'To Be Taught, If Fortunate' by Becky Chambers as interesting & reviewed the novel, 'Gideon the Ninth' by Tamsyn Muir as extremely Goth - several folks followed, agreeing as to the degree of Goth
Gayle reviewed that she has enjoyed the Met opera performances being streamed, check metopera.org
and THANK YOU Fred! [Yes! Put urls in chat please]

Rumor of the week was = In the future the gothic novels will be printed with black ink on black paper.
