“A Strange and Terrible Wonder” Rated PG“The Dog Who Buried the Sea” Rated G“What Wags the World” Rated Gby Katie McIvorThe dog bus makes its rounds once a year through the lands of myth. Starting in the north, in the early morning — so early it’s barely yet light — the bus rolls up to a middle-of-nowhere sign by the roadside. In the misty grey dawn, in the shadow of the hill which mounts into blackness above, the Cù Sìth is waiting. Its haunches twitch on the wet grass.

Even though the year is coming to a close and we’re starting to think about the holiday season and the start of 2025 (yuck—how is it so late in the year already!?), I wanted to touch on some more books that I’m excited about and think you should check out. If you missed the first two posts like this I did this year, you can find them here and here. Note: WD uses affiliate links.

It always starts the same way. The reality show host drives toward their destination in Smalltown, USA, discussing the details of the house and its owners. We, the viewers, are shown the exterior: majestic, imposing, possibly in a state of disrepair. We meet the owners, who tell us a little more about themselves and then run through the house’s myriad problems.

Emily St. John Mandel’s poignant, strangely reassuring post-pandemic novel has sold more than a million copies and been made into a hit HBO series. If you loved her story of a travelling troupe of actors and musicians making their way through a re-made world, we think you’ll also appreciate these five post-pandemic books that, like Station Eleven, approach the end-times with an eye for its poetic potential.

If you were to drive to my sister Violet’s house today, you would find yourself at a very different place from the one I encountered on my first trip. The road up the mountain has been paved, for one thing, to make it more accessible to the tourists who now support it. Back then if you were behind the wheel of anything other than a farm truck, you were as likely to wreck an axle or lose a tire to the ruts; not knowing, I’d driven the Jag that day.

I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog!Today’s theme is “May Flowers,” and in honor of Wyrd & Wonder, I’ve found ten (mostly) fantasy books with flowers on the cover. This is one of my favorite cover trends, and I think it’s hard for anyone to resist a cover with colorful blooms.

I’m here to talk to you about the Slow Fiction Movement. Okay, that’s not a thing, but it should be. Much as slow food encompasses every aspect of production, culminating with consumption, the idea of slow fiction speaks to every stage of a story’s life cycle.
I should clarify that I’m not talking about drafting speed, nor productivity. Go about your initial drafting at whatever pace works for you.
