Your Next Favorite Book for the Year!!
Published by Arch-Kareem , 4 months ago
One thing that I truly admire about this novel, something that grasped me from the very beginning, was the tonality in how the story was expressed as it unfolded. When Marlow, (one of the main characters) spoke, and recited his experience to his crew, I felt the grit of his history. The wisdom and the expression of his life felt like a story told over a bonfire— through his articulation I heard the crackling of the forest wood expanding; like the warmth of the flames I felt the voyage over the sea; from the surrounding darkness the only thing in picture were the following words that flowed from his mouth. Outside of poetry, I have never felt words connect and evoke emotion and sentiment as did Marlow through his reciting.

The Horror, The Horror...What I Wish I'd Known Before My Dog's Surgery
Published by Linda Vandercook • July 25, 2018
After seeing our dog's lump steadily grow in size over the past few years, but knowing that it was not cancerous, we decided to have the lump removed anyway. We knew that it would eventually restrict his range of motion and/or he'd be too old to have the surgery. While we thought we were prepared for the post-operative care—taking time off work, asking the vet about the surgery and what to expect—we were, in fact, not prepared.
