Stranger Things Happen | Kelly Link

So, I'm reading a Kelly Link anthology with the story 'Most of my Friends are 2/3 Water', and when I Googled it, this AI summary popped up...🤔

Graywacke Funny. I was just reading about the awkward potential of chatgpt logic and how it predicts patterns, resulting in it making things up have no basis in reality, but match the predictive patterns. Anyway, it‘s a weird technology and that‘s a weird answer. 🙂 3d

Billypar @Graywacke Very strange, right? I did feed it several other story titles from the same collection, and it did better on those, identifying the story mostly, or in one case asking for more information, which isn't bad either. But it's still odd for this one case since Google's regular algorithm pegs it as Kelly Link's story in the top results returned. 2d

Graywacke @Billypar very powerful and very strange. 1d

A story aimed at children, focusing on living life at a normal pace and not trying to grow up too fast.

The Darkest Part of the Forest | Holly Black

Hazel and Ben live in Fairfold where humans and fae live side by side and a mysterious fae boy sleeps in an impenetrable glass coffin. When someone frees the boy, Ben and Hazel and their friend Jack, a changeling, are pulled into a fae battle for power, and the secrets they keep from each other and themselves may prove deadly. Loved the main characters, the rich imagining of a town rich in fae magic, and the new love stories for both characters.

Troll's-Eye View: A Book of Villainous Tales | Ellen Datlow, Terri Windling

I always find it a fun take when a classic tale takes the point of view of the villain. It served to remind us that perhaps not everything is as it seems. Maybe the hero in one narrative is a villain in another. I don‘t really remember too much, except it was a nice little YA-vibe story collection that I would read again. ☺️ March‘s Double #BookSpin
