things on Wednesday

If y'all are not reading Nimona, you should be. It starts out all light and fluffy, and then plot builds and stuff gets real and right now there is AFTERMATH, glorious AFTERMATH. It is excellent.

And then it spawns comments like this: I thought to myself, "I would like a Shapeshifting Murder Piñata for my birthday" and then I thought about it a little more and realized that I did not, in fact want one of those.

Speaking of things happening, ( spoilers for SPN 9.09 )

nonfiction I love

There was an insmallpackages request that sparked this post, although the post has gone pretty far afield of the request. This is a post of nonfiction I've loved but suspect most people haven't stumbled across (so no Erik Larsen here, no Omnivore's Dilemma). Somehow it's nearly all American history, which surprises me a little, since I don't generally go looking for American history. And yet.

There may be a matching fiction post to follow later.
