The Friday Five: Books and Other Media

[smallhobbit]

This week's thefridayfive questions

1. What is the last book you read and what book(s), if any, are you currently reading?
Recently finished: Threadbare by Monica Ferris, The Perfect Crime edited by Vaseem Khan and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.
Currently reading: Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and The Master Key by Masako Togawa

2. How about moving pictures? Are you a fan of any TV show or movie right now?
Not watching anything on TV at the moment, and I don't go to see films.  Off to watch a production of Matthew Bourne's The Car Man tonight.

3. What's your favourite genre, and why?
Golden Age crime novels keep me entertained.

4. If we were all evacuating the planet, and you could only bring 3 unique works of entertainment for posterity, which would you pick? Let's just assume that we've coordinated it so there are no repeats.
All of Matthew Bourne's New Adventures productions; all the British Library Crime Classics books; every audiobook narrated by Richard Armitage.

5. Do you make new works as well (fannish or original both count)? Or is that not your skillset/interest?
I write fanfiction and apply for grants for Gloucestershire Bundles, which is definitely creative new work.

As we're zooming away from Earth on the giant spaceship can I listen to Richard Armitage with you please?

[smallhobbit]

Of course, happy to share.

I like the horror genre... and the cozy mystery genre.

[smallhobbit]

I read a number of cozy mysteries, but am not into horror.

[moonblossom]

Do you like true crime??

[smallhobbit]

No, I like my crime to be fictional.

[moonblossom]

I love crime fic too.

I gather you enjoyed your theatre trip. As you know, I've been missing - only a few days but it takes forever to catch up and I must have missed a lot of posts. I suspect your answer to #4 is cheating but then three single pieces is, well. impossible?

[smallhobbit]

The theatre trip was very good. As for #4 - my post, my rules! I'm certainly not restricting myself to one, because I change from day to day.
