Content warning: It’s important to note that the speculative history the book is based on is very very plausible, some already happening in our world, things like energy wars, crumbling infrastructure, and inept government officials cutting off essential resources and services so they can continue grabbing at more power. There’s also mentions and descriptions of torture in the book.

Hi, there! It’s Wednesday afternoon; do you know where your links are? (Hint: they’re right here.) There is only one more spooky week in October (the spookiest week!) and I refuse to believe it.

After Amanda’s lost book was identified as Silver Fire by Sally Stone, the discussion that evolved afterward was all about your memories of using the library, either the one at school or the one … Continue reading Library Memories →
Oooh, this episode was directed by Jonathan Frakes, who I continue to believe is a terrible actor but a fabulous director. In the opening, a jerk who is driving his truck across a bridge gets dumped in the water by giant. Sadly, he lives.
