I am moving to London this week! This is heavily correlated to this weeks These Broken Stars crossword puzzle because this is my airplane book. I don’t think why, but reading about these two crazy kids surviving a spaceship crash dissolves a lot of my worry about being on a plane. Then I am too interested in the drama of it all to focus on the metal tube I am trapped inside of. Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner are lifesavers.
Well, except when they kill our faves.
I hope you like this puzzle! It is a bit of a long one, next week I have a much smaller puzzle! I’m moving to England so I’ll be throwing a Pride and Prejudice one up! Then I need to find a place to scan in London. I might need to buy a printer I guess.
