“I’m out of room,” she told the seventh bird, a small black owl with a sweet face like fruit sliced lengthwise. It watched her with solemn red eyes before hopping to her shoulder.

Her hair was silver, sea foam and moonlight, her skin a milky shade of cream . . . her extraordinary coloration sat uneasily on her features, a bad paint job on a portrait of someone the restorer had never seen.

The wind blew her hair out of her face. Her eyes and cheeks stung. But the undulation was sand, not water, the wind a harsh, dry breeze, not the cool, wet tempests she had conjured so often, and her face stung from sand, not salt.

Excerpt #3:
The difference between land and water was this: Water had a memory. Land put down layers of rock, like pages in a book, and waited for someone to come along and read it its history. Water did not share its secrets so easily, or record them for anyone to find.

Excerpt #3:
Glass orchids rose from the beds, each petal no thicker than a true flower petal. Stamens projected from the
flowers, thinner than a blade of grass, the ends glittering like tiny stars.

Excerpt #2:
The horse’s coat was so smooth it felt like her legs were gripping ice rather than flesh. She was not afraid. She had not believed in anything but herself for a long, long, long time. But she believed, with everything she was, that he would not let her fall.

Excerpt #1:
She had set her voice against an entire frenzy of sirens and outsung them all, forcing them back from the shorelines they coveted and into the cold depths of the ocean where they could torment her no further.

Or Barnes and Nobles, as I accidentally wrote at first, which I assume is the parody fantasy spinoff that sells livestock housing and gentry.

A few days ago I was taking a walk and, after considering several routes, decided to check the library's hours.
If I'd taken the other road, I'd have been just about at the exact spot and time as a car steering onto the sidewalk.
Support your local library, folks. It might save your life someday.

A remarkable thing about humans is that we've modified (through #domestication) other organisms on TENS of occasions. If non-bird #dinosaurs were alive, could we domesticate _them_? My thoughts from 2018... (short answer: yes of course) tetzoo.com/blog/2018/8/... #dinosaurs #SpecBio

People keep asking why Jurassic Park always reopens again but, like, if someone told me there was a slight chance I'd get eaten but I'd definitely get to see a T. rex, I'd absolutely still go.
