Not to worry, there’s been no more snow, that’s a photo from a couple of weeks ago.
This evening, I finished reading Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones, a beautiful, tragic, frightening, touching book. I really love what the New York Times said about it, not least of all because it’s so true:
And Jesmyn Ward makes beautiful music, plays deftly with her reader’s expectations: where we expect violence, she gives us sweetness. When we brace for beauty, she gives us blood.
I wish I could say the end of Rubicon was as satisfying. It comes to something like a conclusion, but it seems pretty evident they thought they were coming back for another season — or at least thought so for so long they didn’t have much time to course-correct. It’s a really good show, but ultimately unsatisfying.
Anyway, that was Thursday.
I will keep my eye out for Rubicon. It’s not hit Netflix in Canada yet (along with just about everything else in the world…)
And astonishingly, Salvage the Bones was available through the public library as an ebook – downloaded!
