"Currently listening to the audiobook. The writing is top notch. Particulary enjoying that so many stories are baby themed. And while I am 6 months pregnant, I have read zero pregnancy books so far but so many baby horror related ones. Go figure.
The narrator James Patrick Cronin is ELITE." — Dec 26, 2025 04:22PM

Natasha’s Quotes

“Do you know why we have the sunflowers? It’s not because Vincent van Gogh suffered. It’s because Vincent van Gogh had a brother who loved him. Through all the pain, he had a tether, a connection to the world. And that is the focus of the story we need – connection.”
― Hannah Gadsby

“Science describes accurately from outside, poetry describes accurately from inside. Science explicates, poetry implicates. Both celebrate what they describe. We need the languages of both science and poetry to save us from merely stockpiling endless 'information' that fails to inform our ignorance or our irresponsibility.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Late in the Day: Poems 2010–2014

“When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame and unafraid.
The new dawn balloons as we free it.
For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.”
― Amanda Gorman, The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country
