halfway through 2024 book review

June isn't over yet but I'm looking at a couple of very busy weeks so it's unlikely I'll read a gazillion new books or something by end of month. So we do this now!

books I enjoyed so far

Aliette de Bodard's Dominion of the Fallen series, set in a post-apocalyptic Paris with fallen angels and magic and dragons in the Seine. I didn't quite love the three main novels, but I enjoyed how unique the world-building was. However, I REALLY loved the last two novellas about Asmodeus and his husband Thuan, who are a delicious pairing. The novellas are: Of Charms, Ghosts and Grievances and Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders.

Pacat's Dark Heir, which I enjoyed so much that I went back to reread Dark Rise and then again, Dark Heir. I liked the second novel a lot more than the first (and I actually ended up appreciating the first novel more on my reread). Needless to say, I am very, very impatient about the end of the series.

A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel. KJC has done it again. The sequel to her Doomsday Books series is fantastic, with a vivid cast, an excellent main pairing, and superb pacing. Couldn't put it down. A great historical m/m romance.

The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold. I'd heard a lot about Miles and it was fun seeing him bullshit his way across the galaxy.

The Mountains of Mourning by Lois McMaster Bujold. A novella in the Vorkosigan saga. Very touching and emotional and a great character study of Miles. Really loved this.

Newcomer by Keigo Higashino. This dude is seriously amazing at crafting unusual murder mysteries. This one is structured as vignettes of shop-owners in a Tokyo neighbourhood and, as the stories progress, more light is shed on the mystery of a strangled woman.

Faithful Place and The Secret Place by Tana French. Fantastic prose, absorbing murder mysteries that are more like deep character studies as well as an incisive portrait of contemporary Ireland.

The Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski. This is pretty grim at times, ngl, but it has a daring structure with lots of POVs, switching between numerous timelines, a frame device, lots of found materials (essays and chapters from fictional books). All that worked for me very well. I love some experimentation with craft. I wouldn't say it was my fave read, but I'm happy that I finally reached the end; completing a series always gives me a dopamine rush so yay

progress on my reading goals

A reminder that my two goals for the year are:

to read (some or all of) the Vorkosigan saga

to read less or no US authors

I'm doing pretty well on those two scores. Read a few installments of the Vorkosigan saga, and (besides Bujold and a poetry anthology by Maggie Smith) have read no other US-based authors. My intention was to diversify my reading and, indeed, so far, I've read French, Japanese, Polish, UK, Australian, Irish, and currently reading a Ukrainian author.

fics I loved

I've not read as many books as I normally do so far, esp in the last couple of months, but I read a lot more fic than recent years. I've read some fab stuff in a variety of fandoms. The fics I'm going to rec below are the longer ones that I read on my ereader:

Tarnished Gold by Prim_the_Amazing (bingqiu/svsss, M, 118k) Inventive premise. Couldn't put it down.

Memory (T, 23k) and Out of the Dead Land (M, 62k), both stucky, both orphaned by one of my top authors ever. The second one gave me the worst fic hangover I had in ages. I had to go and rewatch Captain America.

contrapasso by damagecontrol (jegulus, E, 41k) Very horny. I like that.

Fire Burn and Caldron Bubble by pastapug (jegulus, E, 40k) Lush language, fascinating setting.

Beholden by Faith Wood (faithwood) (drarry, E, 123k) Gave me all the drarry feels.

Shout out to @hoko-onchi-writes's WIP: To Hold You in the Earth's Unholy Din, which I am loving <3

That's all, folks. Here's hoping for more wonderful reads till December!

Rayllum Month 2024! (10/13)

i try to rationalize, “people are people,” but it’s like you’re made of angel dust

July 19th - Magic

This was another earlyyyy work for Rayllum Month! Gotta be one of my faves, regarding both the result and how much I loved writing it, (mostly/ish) slice-of-life Rayllum with just a dash of life-or-death kisses. As we do in the TDP fandom.

Rayla hated water, and she had good reasons, given that every experience with it had nearly resulted in her kicking the bucket. Of course, some of those fears were eased a little now that Callum was an Ocean mage, that he wouldn’t let anything happen to her–and he’d proven it, time and time again–but that kind of trauma never truly went away.

Rain was part of that. Rain had been Callum going to get himself and Zym electrocuted, rain had been the snake’s rattle crushing in Callum's fingers, rain had been dooming her troupe, rain had been that night in the tavern with a big Drakerider, rain had been receiving the news her parents were deserters.

She wrapped her arms around herself, wishing she could control the weather and envious of Storm Dragons. She and Callum had been trekking through the woods for the better part of the day under cover of densely packed treetops, mostly shielded from the downpour. Now, though, the quickest way through this stretch of Xadia was straight through, instead of detouring through the forest and adding at least another day to the journey. Time they didn’t have, something she couldn’t ask Callum to do.

So Rayla rubbed her eyes and drew her hood up over her head, looking out at the open meadow with a wrinkled nose.

Callum set a hand on her shoulder, gazing at her worriedly with care coming from an endless well. “We can go around.”

She sighed. “No, we don’t have time to waste. I’ll be fine.”

He frowned a little, hooking his staff to his back and tracing a quick rune in the air. “Pluviam Praesidium.”

Rayla looked up to find a dome over their heads, shielding them from the whipping winds and likely the rain once they stepped out from under the cover of the trees.

She glanced up at him, at his bright, gorgeous emerald eyes reflecting the rain as he squinted out at the meadow, then back to her. The second they made eye contact, a soft smile stretched across his face, and he hooked their arms together. “Here we are.”

She swallowed. His arm would get tired, he’d get spent from the magic usage when he really should be saving as much energy as possible, but… she’d always been selfish. He’d always been selfless. He wanted to give, and she couldn’t seem to stop taking.

She looked down. “Thanks.”

He nodded, touching his forehead to hers. Almost as if he could read her mind, he assured her, “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Sky mages draw power from storms, right? Pretty sure rain counts.”

Especially because he was an Ocean mage now, too, Rayla reasoned, and let herself accept it. Let herself accept something sweet from him. Let herself close her hand over his upper arm and definitely not blush at the lean muscle under her fingertips. “I think it does.”

And for the first time in two years, Rayla wasn’t cold, wet, and miserable after stepping out into the elements. And she wasn’t alone, either.

talonspyre | another aethergarde academy event

date: july 29, 2024

Talonspire ('talon'-spy-er) is pretty similar to sweden's midsummer holiday, except like... magic and dragons, yk?

This is also a national holiday, and it is celebrated by the school as well. Usually, a pole made of embrewood (em-bree-'wood') (there are different varieties: dark, mellow, and albino) is adorned with flowers and crystals. Magic is infused into the wood, and then depending on the wood type, crystals are placed around the log.

DARK: The bark of the tree is tough and smells ashier than the others. The bark is often a deep indigo (#3b2a42) and the inside (#673a69) is a bit lighter, it has a redder tone than the bark.

MELLOW: Mellow is the most common and cheapest variety of embrewood. It's definitely more violet than indigo (#783d62), and the bark has a slightly sweeter ashy scent. The wood on the inside is a rather vibrant (#7d1e5a) red dragon fruit-ish color.

ALBINO: This is the rarest variety of embrewood + expect to this type of embre tree at aethergarde. Under the best conditions, it can produce a small amount of sap that can go for at least 350 marks per 10 ml. People report the taste to be similar to white tea. The bark is a very light gray-pink (#d6b4c5) and the inside is white with a tinge of pink (#eddfe6).

The crystals placed around the log will glow and levitate to the top of the pole. A dance is done around the poles as dragons fly in the air. The dragons will swoop down and eat the crystals one by one (usually the younger dragons do this-- the older ones tend to just supervise everything in the skies). BUT… In aethergarde, it’ll be slightly different.

Instead of a simple wooden pole, a fire seed is placed on the ground. The seed is lit on fire by spark powder (like you’d throw the powder on the seed). Phoenixes will swoop down and spit fire on the seed. Typically, only one or two phoenixes come out, but more phoenixes will be drawn to the school if particularly high ranked students are present in the area. You are more powerful than you think. Six phoenixes will arrive to the event and will offer their fire to the seed. After all the fire is offered to the seed, a phoenix will chirp loudly. This’ll cause the seed to spontaneously grow into an embrewood tree. The phoenixes that come over are all high ranking phoenixes (btw yes, you will see those 4 phoenixes again from the cave your egg was in) and they essentially are supposed to bring good luck and offer some advice to the students. These phoenixes are old asf, so they know a lot, sometimes they can predict things because of something they witnessed in the past. They rarely speak to anyone outside of their own species, but these phoenixes do speak occasionally to those they consider important. Anyway, students will infuse magic into a crystal they’ve brought and place them around the tree. The crystals will rise and orbit the tree slowly, then the dragons will consume the crystals. Your dragon will likely try to get the one you offered first.

This event happens every school year before summer officially starts.

Whisper Wells by Ali Woods

Whisper Wells is the first in an upcoming series called "Legends of the Whisper Woods" by Ali Woods. It's a romantasy debut novel set in a world that feels contemporary (cars and cellphones exist) but beings of all kinds (witches, vampires, dragons, centaurs...) are real. Some magical beings have integrated into human society, but many live secluded within a vast woodland known as Whisper Woods. The two main characters are Caelan and Tor. Caelan is part-Shifter (but mostly human) and lives in a homestead on the edge of Whisper Wells, a small town that borders Whisper Woods. Tor is Fae and lives in the large city of Loqueaur. Caelan and Tor meet on a dating app and develop a meaningful friendship until a disappearance brings the two together on a journey into Whisper Woods.

The story is light and reminds me a little of the cozy fantasy books I've read. There is that mystery but nothing is too dark and the stakes are low overall. The spice level, however, is high! Caelan and Tor are smitten with each other from the beginning and the story mostly focuses on their developing relationship as they adventure through the various perils of Whisper Woods.

The story is also filled with a host of really great characters. Tor and Caelean are, of course, fantastic, but they also encounter a lot of other fun characters during their journey. Towards the end of the book, there is even some potential setup of Book Two with two of the supporting characters!

Whisper Wells is perfect for any m/m romance fans who are looking for a lighter, fluffier story with a quest-style plot and great characters. The book is enjoyable, smutty, and funny. The main relationship is charming and has a lot of depth and emotion along with the spice. The ending is satisfying and the setup for future books left me excited to read all upcoming additions to the series. I'm especially hoping for a future book about Seff!

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tropes/Tags: Achillean, queer, romance, romantasy, spicy, Fae, Werewolves/Shifters, Fated Mates, jealousy, protectiveness, found family

If you liked this I think you will like Whisper Wells: I think fans of Lily Mayne's "Monstrous" series will enjoy this. It reminded me a little of Soul Eater but with a cozy fantasy background instead of a sci-fi dystopia background.

Whisper Wells will be available on Kindle Unlimited on April 3, 2024 and is currently available for pre-order!

This book was made available to me in advance thanks to BookSirens! I received a free digital copy of this book in exchange for this review. The above are my honest feelings on the provided book.

Alice in Wonderland (2010, Tim Burton)

30/03/2024

Alice in Wonderland is a 2010 film directed and co-produced by Tim Burton.

Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film is written by Linda Woolverton and based on the novel of the same name by Lewis Carroll and the 1951 film of the same name (13th Disney Classic). The main actors in the film include Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Crispin Glover. The film mixes visual and photography technologies between live action and motion capture.

The film received three nominations at the 2011 Oscars, winning two (best costume design and best production design).

A sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass, was released in 2016.

While Hamish is declaring himself, Alice spots the White Rabbit, whom she had already met previously, in the gardens of the villa and chases him into the woods.

After leaving the tiny door, she finds herself in a garden where there are the White Rabbit, the Dormouse, the Dodo and the Tweedledum and Tweedledee twins.

To get an answer, they go to the Caterpillar, who is in possession of the Oraculum, a magical parchment capable of illustrating future events: this shows that Alice's destiny is to kill, on the Joyful Day, the Jabberwocky, a monster bloodthirsty dragon-like, serving the Red Queen.

A Year in (Book) Review: My 2024 Reading Journey 📚

#17 - What Once Was Mine by Liz Braswell

Fantasy / Twisted Tales #12 / 401 pages / published 2021 / Finished Feb. 4

One Sentence Review: A dark, sometimes disturbing, rewrite of Tangled, featuring lots of action and suspense, some truly horrific villains, fun, fleshed-out heroes - both familiar and new - a beautiful love story, and the unfortunate inclusion of a frame narrative that simply does not work.

Favorite Quotes

"This is the happily ever afterest ever..."

"The past is over, child. Don't dwell overmuch on its echoes... You will find no rest that way."

"'Witch?' Flynn asked, skeptical. 'Or like... crunchy earth mother type who drinks herbal teas and pretends the goddess speaks to her?'"

*

"Money is a ... it's like a placeholder for happiness."

"Listen, I can pay someone to take me to him. I have, um, let's see... A couple of six-sided coins, a coin with a hole in it, a slice of wood my mother bought me that kind of looks like a coin...? I painted a face on it. Ooooh, here's a little dragon I carved...."

"Who cares what you should do? Life is short. People are cruel. Have fun while the sun shines and let everyone else sort themselves out."

My rating: 4/5

A Few More Thoughts (Spoilers)

Though I thoroughly enjoyed the main storyline - dark though it was - the frame narrative was very disorienting to me. I appreciate the sentimental reasons the author had for this format, but it did not work for me. It kept jolting me out of the action. If it had just been the Rapunzel storyline, it would have been almost perfect.

At this point, I've gotten pretty used to how dark these what-ifs can get, but this one surprised me with how disturbing the Countess Bathory was. I appreciated the addition of Gina as a main character, though I feel as if the realization (speculation?) that she and Eugene are siblings was a bit shoehorned. Maximus's origin story was surprisingly beautiful. The moon magic was very fun!

As in the movie, Rapunzel shows readers - though through far darker and more desperate circumstances - both the impact of parental trauma and isolation and how beautiful and vibrant life can be, especially through the eyes of someone who is experiencing it for the first time in any real way.

UNPOPULAR OPINION:  SECOND ONE OF 2024 (remember these are MY opinions…no one has to agree with me…After many hours of reading, researching, theory crafting, and speaking with others…we have looked at many things that would be “between the lines”..  But again; these are MY opinions and thoughts, so if you wish to unfollow me or not, if it offends…)

➥ The one thing I do wish to say is…I have seen both trailers more than twice in recent days.  This opinion has nothing to do with those, but I may post something later. 

So, grab a drink and sit back…here we go…

One thing I will begin with is this…when did the book of Fire and Blood move away from being canon and the show is the canonical material??  To me, the book is canon and that is where I begin MANY of my muses and their backstories unless they are ones that there is not enough written on them and really become an OC if they have not been fleshed out enough.   

I remember the ASoIaF fandom, the original one; you had to know the books before the show as the books were canon…so why the change now?  Is it the lack of time?  Because even if you do not read it, you have books on tape.  I do not understand and maybe I am one of the few or of a majority (who are not writers) who read and study books. 

Yes, I am a nerd, but I digress.

The first road I am going to travel down is the Aemond-Alys Rivers gothic romance idea, story…or wish.   I do not believe this truly happened for a few reasons.  I know many want to see it because “Aemond is so cute” but you must understand he was always a cunt and a psycho by the timeline after him killing Luke.  And the clues and facts of certain things always makes me, and many others believe this never truly happened. 

My theory is that she despised House Targaryen for the death of Harwin and Lyonel.  And I believe she wanted her own revenge on them.  I have always thought this from the first moment I read the book then reading what many believe happened to her after the war ended.

First thing first…  Aly Rivers was the BASTARD daughter of Lyonel Strong and an unknown woman when he was younger, which makes her half sister to Harwin and Larys.  She was at least 40 years of age when the Dance began, a wet-nurse for many as ALL her babies had been stillborn.  She did have an interest in potions, but medicines and potions are also interchangeable…now I am not saying she did not practice some sort of woods magic.  I am not saying she was not a beautiful or handsome woman because no one really gives a great description. 

During the first assault on Harrenhal, she did survive as Daemon and the other House Lord of the Riverlands came to meet there but we know they did not hold it for long as Cole and Aemond returned to retake it without bloodshed.  It was rumored she tried to seduce Daemon and it failed because for me if she tried to use magic on him; he would be resilient, and it would fail. 

But when Aemond came in and burned the Riverlands, executing the remaining members of House Strong because we ALL know how he feels about bastards, and Strongs; yes, he did keep her alive, but I think he made a choice of sleeping with a burning sheep or a female.  But again, Aemond was not someone that would fall in love.  His anger and arrogance would hold him at bay on that. 

Remember, he feels since he rides the largest dragon, and his youth is on his side; he is indestructible…which makes him a great target for an older woman to manipulate him for her own use.  Because in truth without Vhagar, Aemond was nothing more than a whelpling like Aegon.  He wanted to show his father that he was the strength and such but, as much as I love Aemond; he was still a child at 19 years old. 

I truly believe he fell for this woman’s sweet words and such but as for a marriage or even a pregnancy…  I doubt it.  Aemond Targaryen was one that did know the customs of Old Valyria and of the old ways.  He would have found someway to have a wedding…a true wedding even in a war…to show he married her… and since I do not believe this happened; I also feel he made her drink Moon tea just as to NOT have a bastard child giving his feelings towards them.  And do not think he ONLY hated his half-sister’s children; I believe he hated all and any as they were impure.  His hatred for any bastard stems from his childhood and he held onto that anger and sadness until his death. 

I believe her desires were to see the House of the Dragons fall for the pain they had caused her family.  And this was why this all came about because even as she stated she was pregnant and “could feel the dragon clawing inside of her”, no one was close enough to her to see if she was truly pregnant or using a form of “glamour” and her stance that the son was the rightful heir is wrong because with Aegon II dead and the agreement to place Aegon III on the throne before he died; any other line was dead, even if it had a chance.  Aemond was ONLY Prince Regent not King.

The tale of Ser Regis Groves’ death, I believe came from crossbowmen and/or slingers because Harrenhal was gaining a following of broken men and former warriors from the war…like anyway; they did not wish to return to their homes or their lives before to continue fighting for a cause that was lost.  Aegon III was king. 

I believe Alys wanted vengeance on House Targaryen and she would have used and one anything to get it.  I believe Aemond Targaryen was too arrogant and too angry (and in pain) to be manipulated.  I do not believe the great romance happened.  I do not believe a marriage happened, even as she claimed it because no one was there to deny it…she tried to use her sexuality and beauty to make people see what was not real…many believed she was of little intelligence or “simpleton”.  Some believe her son after the winter’s fever went to a House in the Riverlands and became its Lord but since there is no proof and it doesn’t look like we will have Fire and Blood, Volume 2; we won’t ever know. 

What I do know is my own opinion and others feel the same.  Alys was a conquered female for Aemond, and maybe that is a stretch because I am not sure he knew how to love unless someone was manipulating him.  And do not get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE the Aemond character and maybe I have spent too much time researching and such; but it makes more sense to me with what we do know of him and the theories or opinions I have mentioned. 

But again…they are mine and I am not here to make you believe them but just maybe think on them.

2016 (goodness my very old art of old roleplay) -> 2024 (2 game screenshots. I may or may not draw much of them, for I have a lot in my plate. I will use a lot of screenshots. A bit sad the character creation features are limited. But I go with this one for now; which I slowly grew fond of, and how 😳 charming they looked even I got swooned 🏃🏻‍♀️💨)

BUT Asia world; along with Indigenous people around the world, back then was celebrated & normal for having more than just two genders. They have their own terminology, labels, third gender and more in their languages before colonization came in. Some survived to these days, but had to face the after-effect post-colonization... Although this universe is welcome to diversity in this specific game, I headcanon the Non-Magical world is as not pretty as the real world historically. //Wew I can go on and on rambling regarding queer history in both Western & non-Western world; especially the aghasted pearl-clutching Victorians; as many of you know, had a LOT of… “opinions” about anything that is different & unconventional back then. But let’s focus on present or I rambling nonstop.// For now, I added “Gender non-conforming” for my character while they’re comfortable for having the body of a woman, dress however they want, etc.)

Backstory

Sarah was born in 15th February 1874/1875.

Sarah’s parents

As stated of Sarah’s status of a Muggleborn, their parents are normal human beings with mundanity of career and life.

Sarah’s father, Abdel Rahman Khan was a scholar from a decent non-Magical family. Previously lived in Khorasan (now Afghanistan) until Anglo-Afghan War turmoil happened, him and his family moved to Pakstan (now Pakistan). During adulthood, Abdel ventured to UK to find his dead brother who worked as lascar on ports to bring him home. Despite of his mourning, he slowly grew fond of the places in UK, especially after meeting a woman who helped his searching, Natalie Presley; a co-owner of flowermaking company.

After his searching finished and proper burial made at his home country, he decided to migrate to UK for working opportunities and married the love of his life. Of course at first his family were wary, but in the end they blessed their wedding. However, Natalie’s upper-class family is the opposite. Abdel changed his name to Khan Alderman not only for marriage, but also for employment & the unfortunate ever close-minded Victorian society; yet remain the name Khan as his first name to always remember his family and home country. Eventually, they eloped and settling themselves at a town in West Yorkshire called Halifax. Much to Natalie’s dismay to her bigoted family for not wanting to put Khan name onto hers, Natalie’s full name is Natalie Alderman.

Abdel was founded dead alongside his colleagues from explosion at his workplace, when Natalie was still pregnant at home. The case was classified as accident. Natalie was so devastated of his death, and wishing her child live life to the fullest. After giving birth to Sarah, she passed away. Natalie’s family ruthlessly blamed the baby and late Abdel. They decided not to do anything with Sarah, while Abdel’s family side were unable to afford to travel to UK to get the baby; what with the series of political and war turmoil still happening at their country.

Hence, her ties to these two families slowly disconnected, and never see them ever since. (weww this made me wanting to explore this part of story, if I’m not lazy). The baby Sarah Alderman was sent to a decent Crossley Orphanage. The photos of their parents are the only thing that keep Sarah remembering them.

Childhood at Orphanage

Before Sarah knew she was a witch, they defy conventions of the society they lived in. Short hair, constantly switching clothes from girls to boys and vice versa for her own mood and comfort, and educated in a free school just around the corner of the orphanage at Free School Lane. The last thing for 19th century folks (let alone Presley family) wanted to hear was Sarah is a witch. Mrs. Kendrew is a supportive caregiver and there are few children who are befriended with Sarah (Bonnie, Arlo and Olivia).

Sarah’s first time heard about Hogwarts was when she was 6, chit-chatting with other older orphans whose one of their distant relatives have witch lineage. Listening to their stories made Sarah daydreamed to have magic like in storybooks and attend Hogwarts someday. But with no knowledge of Sarah’s family tree, she is ordinary and low chance to even see the magical school.

Little did they know…

There were three signs of magic slowly emerged into Sarah:

At the age of 14, Sarah first began to hear whispers from orphanage’s community garden; from every single flowers and foliages, but ignored it. She thought the voices was just playing in their head.

Things went normal until one day, they tried to reach a fallen teacup from one of caregivers’ tray and it “floated” as Sarah raised their hand in panic; much to orphans and caregivers’ aghast. Many who witnessed the commotion in the Orphanage decided to be remain silent and not spread out to the world (especially Presley family).

Lastly, on her 15th/16th birthday, Sarah saw an eccentric-looking man with tall conical hat that they have never seen before walking past the market. The man, to his shock; saw Sarah sees him, in which Sarah was confused of his reaction; and begin to apparate off. Witches and wizards were living among non-magical world all this time with the help of Muggle-Repelling Charm. Only witches and wizards can see them through the said charm. This confirmed that Sarah is a witch.

Letter from Hogwarts

Sarah went to London with Mrs. Kendrew to run some errands. That is where the letter from Hogwarts suddenly fell down into their hands from an owl near Big Ben. Mrs. Kendrew regardless seemed very supportive of what has been transpired on Sarah’s life. The caregiver believes this is an opportunity that only appear once, and holds the quote “We only live once” dearly.

Few days later, Professor Fig came to orphanage to explain everything about Sarah’s late blooming magic, the witchery & wizarding world, Hogwarts, and everything. Sarah was in disbelieved, but in a positive way; like all of this felt like come out from storybook. Remembered her caregiver’s words, Sarah accepted the offer to study at Hogwarts, and begin their magical journey with the help of Professor Fig’s tutoring on basic spell-casting and other knowledge of Wizarding World before depart to Hogwarts. Hogwarts may be their new home, but Sarah will dearly miss the orphanage, Mrs. Kendrew, Bonnie, Arlo, Olivia, and other children.
