An astonishing story, beautifully told.

99% of the time if a book blurb depicts characters in the days leading up to a wedding, nobody is making it to those nuptials. Everyone is dead, arguing, or on the run.

You’re right—swallowing the bird was a half-measure. The bird did eat the spider, as planned, but now you have a bird in you. It reminds you of swallowing the spider to catch the fly. You’re seeing the pattern.

Would you like me to suggest some animals which could eat the bird?

Just finished When the Wolf Comes Home by @natcassidy.bsky.social I'm dehydrated, my kids have gone feral, and I have no recollection of what happened in the last twenty four hours.
The book kicks off and it doesn't quit until the last page.

I just read the exorcist this week too. I was surprised by how much medical drama was involved.

Everything is expensive. Doom scrolling on tiktok feels the only "free" form of entertainment.

As notable is the rise and mainstreaming of fanfic, an art that legally cannot be monetized.
