Pack an Order with Us
I have a couple of posts I would like to write, but they must wait till tomorrow. A difficult scene is coming up, and it must be done right. The only way to do it to live through the emotions it requires. We will walk this path with Maggie, because that is the price we pay for

Horde vs The Grey
Happy Thursday, BDH. Mod R here, requesting Horde assistance. I am moving house. The new place is lovely, and I am very happy and grateful to have housing, but it has also been touched by the Fairy of Modern Rental Design (much less cooler than the Fish Fairy) and leeched of colour. Stark

Book Recommendations Thread: The TKWNKM Support Group
Welcome to Book Devourers Anonymous. Please pull up a chair. This is a safe space of no judgement. I know we all tried our best to pace ourselves and make it last, and then This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me simply took the reins and happened to us. Intentions were noble, but a Horde can't change

Cats and Bookmarks
I overslept, and my day started with an outraged cat. Over the past few days, a road crew has been working on the street next to our house. They are repaving it. The road is closed, and Gordon observed the workers having heated words with a driver of a delivery truck this morning. We might be
