By way of introductory remarks, I’d like to state Holly Black wasn’t really on my to read list at the start of May, and that list is longer than a conger. It does also tend to contain most authors with a certain level of popularity after a while; if nothing else, I am curious. Still, […]
So next weekend my sister is getting married. It’s been a long time coming, but sometimes that’s what it takes to get things right, and I think my sister and their fiancée have got this one very right. As a little tribute, here’s the first song I thought of. It could have been one of […]
