They asked me to describe the pain but the pain defied description, on a scale of one to ten it demanded a different scale.

This is the start of Small Rain. It‘s something, I think, anyone who has been to a US ER with chronic illness/pain would recognize. I was just there going through this the week before Christmas.
An update on my #192025 challenge: these are the books I finished in the past few months. 79 prompts done and 27 left to go. I'm optimistic I can finish this by the end of the year!

pickA short but poignant novel set partly during the Christmas season. I love the #VMC covers and was happy to have found this edition at a used book store.

Going to stick with a fairly loosy goosy #Bookspin list for 2025. Here‘s January.

pickRobinson would probably make it on my top 5 list of favorite poets—if I were to ever make one. He wrote metered poetry and sonnets in a time when they were going out of style. But as far as poets go, he has the most attuned sense to time and meter and rhyme I have ever read.
Also… what is happening up in Maine? Robinson was from there, and we all know another famous Maine writer, and just like his work, some of these poems are quite dark.
pickI loved this. The MC, a poet, ends up in the ICU after a sudden, devastating, medical episode.
The medical bits were a tough read, and quite upsetting at times but still weirdly beautiful. The rest of the book was also full of beauty, as the MC reflected on music, art, love, poetry and dogs. ❤️
I highly recommend this, from the #toblonglist - it should have made the shortlist.
