Weekly Roundup: Back-to-School Problems, “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Afterparty,” "Empire of the Sum," and Archival Complaints by Parenting Roundabout published on 2023-09-12T04:00:12Z On our latest weekly roundup, we don't have any kids in public school anymore, but we can still complain about back-to-school issues like traffic and loud robot voices. What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "Ghost Light" was entertaining but entirely expendable; we're no closer to knowing whodunit. On The Afterparty, we do now know whodunit, although we're not exactly convinced the show's writers didn't just throw a dart at the murder board and then work backwards from there. Catherine's library find this week shifts to nonfiction for adults, with two titles of note. One is scary (https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/mamadou-ndiaye/100-animals-that-can-fcking-end-you/9780316453776/) and one sounds like an absolute delight: https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393882148. It's by Keith Houston, who also wrote https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393349726. Terri is very disappointed that she can't listen to these immediately as audiobooks.
