Yeah, I can't imagine how they can pull that off but if they can I will be thrilled to watch it!

I found River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey on the new book shelf today. It's a short AU about a 19th century America in which Congress actually did decide to populate Louisiana with free-range hippos.

Driving back from the eclipse, Lee and I listened to an episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour that recommended The Twenty Percent True Podcast so we listened to all 12 episodes of Season 1: Modern Monsters. Essentially short stories with a fantastic element read by the author. Very enjoyable, highly recommend! We especially liked Episode 6: The Roommate
