Reading this book: Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White and it’s blowing my mind.
It’s completely insane, messy, and gut wrenching!

Today more than ever I wish it would rain. One of those cleansing Caribbean downpours; for like an hour; followed by a bright sun, clean air, and a nice breeze.
Sigh.

Just finished The Changeling by Victor LaValle.
I’ve been on a LaValle kick for a minute and this is my fourth in a couple of months.
For the first time, I am satisfied with the ending LaValle wrote.😁
