🎹 🔫 Hey! What’s going on? Is this why the book’s called Don’t Shoot the Piano Tuner?
MS Harker is finishing up the piano rebuild at Frankie’s Jazz Club today. Not sure if this will be a chapter in the book about the “secret life of pianos,” but I’m hoping.

Historic Gun Suit Survives Serious Legal Threat Engineered by Indiana Republicans

Two VERY different tens overnight.

#KDrama #UnderTheGun was VERY short VERY sweet with a ridiculously pretty FL, a handsome non-tsundere ML and a simple romance well told, gratifyingly garnished with great kiss scenes

#TWDrama #ImperfectUs was, ironically, my first ever TW-Ten. It was perfect - the casting was spot on, the dialogue really nuanced (and that's just the subs!) and its maudlin-free final episode stomped me right in the feels and had me bawling like a baby. OUTSTANDING!
