It‘s a gorgeous day out! Letting The Wyrmling play in his water table while I attempt to get in a few pages of this new read. Forecast says it‘s supposed to drop back down to the 30-40 range in the next few days so we‘re enjoying it while we can. 😔
Watching the last episode of Fallout tonight and ordering my favorite pizza. It‘s going to be a great day! 🥰
I stepped outside onto the crowded green, looking for the blue of his overalls, the white-blond hair, but I didn‘t see him in the mass of people dancing and drinking and playing music. The sunlight hit my face and I shielded my eyes, but I already knew that I would find no sign of him.
The boy was gone.

so-soOkay, from a 'congratulations, you produced an emotional impact!' perspective, I understand the choices made. Even from a statement about long-running toxic cycles of violence, which could be heavily attached to the patriarchy, I get the choices made. But between this and Saga, I am so very, VERY over Vaughan fridging the love interest to further the plot. Having consumed much of it, I'm now going on an extended break from his work.

My birthday‘s later this month (the big 4-0), but my sister surprised me with this early. She was watching the show, then picked up the books (because cliffhangers) and said I should read them too. I started the first few pages and I‘m confused, but intrigued…
pickA truly fascinating read. Dystopia? SciFi? And yet, an almost religious — how about religion-adjacent, thoughtful, and provoking story. Having read just a few glimpses of tidbits about this book that I somehow missed ever hearing about, that it was a set of shorter stories that the author linked to create one novel. That it was basically his last book, is that right? And. And,…. That the author died by suicide. Why is that relevant?! I cannot ⬇️
pickThis was a great follow up to Moon of the Crusted Snow. It‘s mostly a traveling story, as 6 members of the survivor‘s community strike out south east to see if they can find new grounds for their people. They are hoping to be able to return to the land their ancestors lived on; the land that had been taken from them by the white colonists.
The narrator isn‘t the best, he stumbles and loses his flow. But he is an own voice, which I appreciated. 🤩
Flying back to KS via stop in TX from MS. Starting this on the plane home.
