All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I highly recommend that book.

Now tagless for your comfort.
A readers' advisory consultant at work told us that when the world is a garbage fire, two genres of books increase in readership: romance and dystopian fiction.

I'm finding I gravitate toward murder mysteries lately, some good old-fashioned order-being-established-after-chaos

I haven't been a big mystery reader, but I found a series about a cop in Honolulu who is trying to solve a murder and comes out as gay. The whole series is kind of fun. It's only a little sexy and the mysteries aren't too difficult to figure out but I'm on the fourth book in the series so I like it.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm nearly finished the first of the Dresden Files series. I don't know what I was expecting, but I am finding it amusing. A plus for me is it having a bunch in the series.
