so-so99/100 I'm not sure why, but i didn't enjoy this as much as i thought I would. I thought the premise was interesting, a plague that keeps people from sleeping, but i found the execution lacking. I kept feeling like the author was trying to impress me with his vocabulary and the way he painted scenes, it got in the way of my appreciation of his story telling. It is a creepy book, watching civilization crumble as people go insane from ⬇️

It's getting harder and harder to tell the living from the dead.

Today‘s haiku is inspired by me going outside tonight to pick up my mail & take out my trash. A pretty night, very breezy. I didn‘t take this picture but it suites it well.🌙
windy night, sliver
of pale moon shyly peeking
palm fronds wave goodnight

I saw this graphic on Facebook and wrote this about it. I had to get up early this morning because my mom wanted me to let in the guy that changes our water filters at our house every year. After he left, I went back to bed and slept the rest of the day but I don‘t think it made me feel better because I feel groggy. I feel like crap but I needed my rest. I didn‘t get enough sleep last night.

so-soAudrey Wood‘s The Napping House (1984) is a playful cumulative tale perfect for young readers. Don Wood‘s soft, dreamlike illustrations are key to its charm, using shifting light and cozy details to show the drowsy calm turning into chaos. Each layered sleeper is drawn with humor and warmth, and the changing art mirrors the text‘s rhythm, making the buildup lively and engaging.
