Text of the page (random words):
interesting period of their lives from molly bloom and ron stallworth it s not all supernatural murderous dystopias for me i do read real things too sometimes you know i tackled a bunch of s k s stuff this year too i always do lisey s story was absolutely abysmal i don t know how that even got published it could have been a great novel if not for all the nonsensical supernatural elements that just weren t necessary i bought into the story of a famous writer s widow being terrorized by a psychotic fan i wanted more of that and less of the ridiculous imaginary world and so so so annoying made up inner marital language the couple shared i get it all couples do develop their own shorthand over time but the reader didn t need to be beat over the head with it on every single page it got to the point where i was literally rolling my eyes every single time i had to read the word smucking just use the word fucking loud and proud like normal people do i guess maybe he wanted to be certain it wasn t just misery again but dressed up in different clothes the institute the green mile the dark half and the girl who loved tom gordon were wonderful though i loved every minute of those stories if you re not on a quest to read all of king s works then save yourself the headache and skip lisey s story you ll also notice i took on some heftier books this year imaginary friend swan song the goldfinch and the institute all fight in the heavyweight division i started reading swan song at the beginning of lockdown it s a 1000 page epic about a handful of plucky characters and some despicable villains too figuring out how to restart life after a nuclear attack decimates america you know very fitting lockdown reading content and of course neil gaiman makes two appearances as well i just admire his mind and his creativity so much i know that if i pick up a book with his name on the cover i will not be disappointed it s impossible for him to let me down i read fortunately the milk and the graveyard book because i bought them for woody i know it ll be a long time before he s able to read chapter books but i look forward to the days when i can introduce him to one of my all time favourite authors and maybe read these ones to him if he s into it there was lots of great short fiction too you know i love joe hill and richard matheson they re always a good time but the book that really wowed me this year was the best of roald dahl i don t think there s anyone else on this whole entire planet past or present who can craft a short story as masterfully as him every single story in that book impressed me so many delightful surprises dark unexpected twists and uncanny happenstances converge in these stories looking back over this list i ll say it again it s solid but out of all the great reads i had this year these ones were the absolute best of the best in no specific ranked order the best of roald dahl by roald dahl i hope i don t oversell this book but if you love good well crafted stories and sharp witty writing you have to read it if you aspire to be a writer or if you re already a writer and you want to up your game read this book you cannot go wrong we all know and love dahl for his whimsical children s fictions like charlie and the chocolate factory matilda james and the giant peach the witches etc even if you don t think it s possible to love him more than you already do you will your appreciation for his talent will deepen significantly when you read his short stories little fires everywhere by celeste ng i love stories that take me back to the 90 s i love stories that have characters facing coming of age dilemmas i love stories that are rife with interpersonal drama and tension i enjoyed getting lost in 1997 again with pearl and moody and mia and izzy and i had just gotten amazon prime and wanted to do my due diligence reading the book before watching the miniseries i like knowing the source material first swan song by robert mccammon this book is a lot like the stand by stephen king so if you liked that book then you ll probably like this one too disaster annihilates pretty much all of the population and the handful of remaining survivors try to navigate their new post nuclear strike worlds heroes and villains emerge good clashes with evil all that great stuff now is the time to pick up a giant book and immerse yourself in an epic tale you ve got nowhere else to go and no one to see take a chance on a good long story the institute by stephen king just a really great stephen king story where he does what he does best i ve read a lot of king a lot not all of it yet but i m getting there i find that modern era king books have been some of his best work 11 22 63 under the dome the outsider sleeping beauties and the bill hodges trilogy are all excellent in my humble opinion these stories are more action adventure and exciting thrillers than they are outright horror stories and i like that a lot about his writing lately king gives good action if you re in agreement then you ll like the institute too the goldfinch by donna tartt i started reading this book before my son was born but i didn t get that far into it maybe 100 pages or so i didn t have any time or energy for reading in the very early weeks of woody s infancy but i eventually circled back to it and oh look at this it s a story about a boy whose mom dies when he s thirteen and his entire life is thrown into complete chaos jesus christ i felt like an exposed nerve the whole time i was reading it i d just had a baby boy and the dynamic duo themselves postpartum depression and pandemic anxiety came out in full force wreaking total havoc on my soul this book was a gut punch to me but in such an incredible way it was serendipity that this would be the first book i finished as a new mother having a baby is paradigm shifting in its own right i know that but reading this book at this exact time in my life in these exact circumstances made me realize how incredibly important it is for me to raise a good and decent man i had some profound moments with it i m so glad i read this frigging book when i did lovecraft country by matt ruff mixing and melding the sci fi horror fantasy genres with the openly racist 1950 s america how s that going to work can it be done oh it can be done alright the cunning way all of the individual character s stories are woven together at the end marvellous it s brilliant i devoured it couldn t get enough i can t wait to watch the show based on this book when i finally decide to spring for a streaming service with hbo content fortunately the milk by neil gaiman did you grow up with a dad who always had a ridiculous response for everything you asked who liked to embellish and make up ludicrous stories about the most mundane things who wouldn t ever admit that santa claus is make believe even after you and your sisters caught him red handed hauling in gifts from the garage one night and even now when you re in your 30 s and he still insists that he was just picking those gifts up from his annual parent santa conference seriously he still will not give up that ghost then this book will remind you of him and of all the fantastical far fetched things he told you when you were growing up keep that magic alive read it to your kids you ll have so much fun together i m so grateful that even though i ve gone nowhere and seen nobody this year wasn t a complete and total waste i have all this reading to show for my lockdown life and my beautiful son too of course i went on a lot of incredible journeys and i saw the world in so many wonderful iterations i escaped lockdown every time i opened a book i fucking love reading man and i m so glad that it s one thing this

birth then by all means please continue but if not that s cool because this post isn t meant for anyone else anyways by week 38 my pregnancy was progressing along exactly as expected so i was quite surprised when i had a weekly checkup on friday with my ob gyn and she told me that my cervix was already 4cm dilated i hadn t felt a single contraction or slight discomfort up to that point and i was expecting every cm of dilation to be part of the overall going into labour process my ob gyn said some people just have favourable cervixes that soften and open up fairly easily she did a stretch and sweep to see if she could continue to encourage my cervix along i left that appointment 4cm dilated already a little freaked out the doctor told me that if i wanted to i could go to the hospital right that moment to be induced because based on the conditions of my cervix they would keep me there d had to wait in the car for me because of current covid policies at the doctor s office so when i got in and told him the status he was pretty freaked out too we were both feeling like this baby was just going to pop out at any minute we decided to go home we both were expecting to do two more full weeks of work and i didn t want to try and force the whole process it d be better if everything just progressed naturally we went home and everything was fine i felt the same as before no contractions no discomfort i woke up that saturday morning around 2am feeling some cramping in my stomach i rode it out for about 15 minutes until it passed but i shook d awake to alert him that maybe this was it we were both super wired and not sure what to do with ourselves the cramping sensation went away and didn t come back so we figured it was okay to go back to bed but neither of us could sleep we woke up around 8am and d immediately went into prep mode he got out and did a bunch of grocery shopping and some errands to try and wrap up last minute things in case i did go into active labour that whole weekend came and went us on edge the whole time but without anything eventful happening i went back to my ob gyn for my 39 week checkup just a few days shy of 39 weeks she checked my cervix again and confirmed i was 5cm dilated and 70 effaced she did another stretch and sweep to see if that would kickstart active labour for me and we went home we finished up the work week again and figured we d hopefully make it to the 40 week mark without issue if we made it to 40 weeks we d go to the hospital and get induced i kept waiting for this magical mucus plug everyone talks about to come out but i never saw it i did start having some watery like discharge and thought that was a bit weird but didn t think too much of it on saturday may 23rd d and i went for a walk after lunch because it was such a nice sunny day as we were nearing the end of our walk i felt this sudden little gush of fluid that i couldn t control and assumed i d just pissed myself in the street when we got home i noticed again that it was a very watery substance and didn t seem like pee at all that was when it clicked that i was probably leaking amniotic fluid i texted our doula for her advice and she told me i should call the labour delivery line at the hospital to see what they thought knowing the state of my cervix our doula felt that i might have a very fast labour once it did start actively so wanted us to be on the safe side and get to the hospital earlier than planned d was outside and had started cutting the grass i called the labour delivery line and they said i should definitely come in i started rounding up our bags and packing a few last minute things we needed d came inside for a quick glass of water thinking he could get started on the backyard next but i told him to get his shit together because we re going to the hospital today and we won t be leaving without a baby we got the car loaded up and drove to the hospital we were there at 3pm i had to go in first to be assessed and they told me if i was admitted then i could text d to come in another quick check of my cervix and the doctor recommended that we start the induction process they advised that i was slowly leaking amniotic fluid and likely had a small tear high up on the amniotic sac i was taken to a birthing room and made a quick call to d around 3 30pm to tell him he could come on in the nurses got me into a gown hooked me up to their machines for monitoring and started a low dose of oxytocin around 4 30pm to jumpstart some contractions the doctor also broke my water i setup my bluetooth speaker and got my carefully curated labouring playlist rocking so we d have awesome music to help me stay relaxed when the nurse came back to check on me around 5 30pm she confirmed that we were now 6cm dilated and 95 effaced and i still had yet to feel a single thing except for the occasional gush of amniotic fluid spilling out from my broken water we joked around that maybe i was one of those lucky silent labourers and that this could be a really easy process for me that unfortunately was not the case around 6 30pm actual contractions started and i was definitely feeling them they came on hard and fast with a bang my contractions were lasting one minute but with only one minute of rest before the next one would start one on top of the other boom boom boom the contractions were relentless i was managing the pain by staying on my feet swaying along to my music with some hand holding and encouragement from d but it was getting pretty tough i wasn t sure how i felt about epidurals overall i was game for trying to labour without one but also totally open to the possibility of having one as well if i felt it was needed i asked the nurse what my point of no return for getting an epidural was and she told me it was at 10cm fully dilated with that in mind i kept labouring and trying to manage the pain as much as i could the next time the nurse came to check me i was 8 5cm dilated and well on my way to 9cm to be on the safe side i decided to ask for the epidural we were so close to 10cm and the pain was only getting more intense it didn t ever seem like it would ebb the nurse told me that the anesthesiologist was on the floor and already lined up for four other epidurals so i d have to wait another 30 40 minutes i just had to hope my overly ambitious cervix wouldn t go on to 10cm before the epidural could be administered thankfully when the anesthesiologist got to me i was holding strong at 9cm they had me sit upright on the hospital bed with my legs over one side d stood in front of me and needed to keep me still and calm while the doctor did his thing d said this part was...
