Fiction
The Governess by Stephen Gallagher
I confess I only read this today to ensure I completed the August achievement on the GoodReads 2025 Reading Challenge. But I’m glad I did, because it was an effective little Gothic ghost story.
I’ve got several more of Gallagher’s chapbooks, though perhaps I should save them for future challenge requirements. I’m now more interested in getting hold of other of his novels, though — the Sebastian Becker series advertised at the end of this volume sounds interesting.

Games
New Nintendo 3DS XL
So, as well as my Steam Deck, I also just got one of these. That's the full official name of the console, by the way — it's a second-hand New 3DS XL, not a new New 3DS XL, because they dont make them anymore.
Also much like the Steam Deck yesterday, I spent a hefty chunk of today hacking it and testing out the new features that gave me. Mainly that involved installing games that are no longer officially available (because Nintendo shut the eShop), as well as some games that are ridiculously expensive second-hand but, y'know, there are other ways to get them when you've got a hacked device.
And, again like the Steam Deck, I now have a ludicrous backlog of games to play. Where will I find the time? God knows.
