I have a Substack if anyone is interested. Just me being sad today and trying not to be. Not looking for sympathy just need to get it out.

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins is a book you have never read before and probably never will again. This was a story of EPIC proportions, and I weeped and cheered on multiple occasions. You will not be able to put this one down until you’re finished, it’s just that good. A new favorite!
