nursery rhymes and blurry lines sad songs on repeat red flags wave like warning signs in the middle of the street * distant smiles and hollow eyes

We've all heard the jokes about getting an English degree. The difference from a large pizza? The pizza can feed a family of four. Why is the president calling? To get a new analysis of Hamlet, obviously. And so on. As such, when I was nearing the end of my undergrad, I needed a plan for skipping the starving part of starving artist.

I'd never read a Richard Laymon book, much less joined a book club, but the Richard Laymon Book of the Month Club on Istagram seemed like a good way to hold myself accountable for tackling my ever-growing "to be read" stack.

Clever&WTFPublished 10 months ago in WritersBook Review: Norah's Ark by Victoria Wiliamson
Two very different lives. One shared hope for a brighter future. No time to waste. The flood is coming... Eleven-year-old Norah Day lives in temporary accommodation, relies on foodbanks for dinner, and doesn't have a mum. But she's happy enough, as she has a dad, a pet mouse, a pet spider, and a whole zoo of rescued local wildlife to care for. Eleven-year-old Adam Sinclair lives with his parents in a nice house with a big garden, a private tutor, and everything he could ever want. But his life isn't perfect - far from it. He's recovering from leukaemia and is questioning his dream of becoming a champion swimmer. When a nest of baby birds brings them together, Norah and Adam discover they're not so different after all. Can Norah help Adam find his confidence again? Can Adam help Norah solve the mystery of her missing mother? And can their teamwork save their zoo of rescued animals from the rising flood? Offering powerful lessons in empathy, Norah's Ark is a hopeful and uplifting middle-grade tale for our times about friendship and finding a sense of home in the face of adversity.

Spider Mother
It was a hike that we would never forget, though we wished we could. My girlfriend and I were hiking in a familiar spot, just like we had done a thousand times before. This hike was going to be different, though. We would hike three miles in and camp for the night, wake up at five am, hike up to Helens Overlook, about ten minutes from our camping spot, where we would watch the sunrise. While she watched, I would take a knee and pull out a ring I had bought weeks ago, asking her to marry me.
