Well dear reader, I took a short break from the 2025 syllabus of dystopia, horror & sci-fi to read a palette cleanser. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo did the trick. Next up another non-fiction book. The Barn by Wright Thompson. #amreading #booksky

Another great quote from Tender is the Flesh: “His brain warns him that there are words that cover up the world. There are words that are convenient, hygienic, legal.”

Look if there’s anything could really set me off right now, it’s a misplaced apostrophe or a dangling participle.
