I haven't seen many writing spiders the last couple years, and was delighted to see a female living in a cast iron plant on our porch. I was even more delighted to see the much smaller male when I got close enough for pics.

Mini review: Whalefall by Daniel Kraus.
Contrary to the cover copy, not a survival thriller. It's a meditation on death and what we owe the dying, what fathers owe us, and what we owe them, if anything. A damaged teenager has to get eaten by a whale to sort that out for himself.

I've seen a lot of posts lately saying that to support a library, you should get a card. Other things you can do:
1. Be promiscuous in using that card
2. Go to board meetings
3. Join the Friends
4. Demand the books that represent you, you can challenge absent books as much as present ones
5. Donate

Mini-review: Leather & Lark by Brynne Weaver
A musician and a "cleaner" get married to save his life and track down a different, eviler killer.
Quality banter and emotional connection between the leads. The revenge fantasy premise is cathartic and in no way parallel to current events.
