The Read-Cap: Week of August 24 & 31, 2024
Sharing everything that I've read in the last week and what I'm planning on reading next.
I decided to combine the last two weeks of August as there weren’t a lot of things that I read mainly as Born of Blood and Ash took me an entire week to read due to its length, and then I didn’t have a lot of time for reading the week after. If you are new to the Read-Cap this a weekly post I’m doing where I share what I’ve been reading in the last week and what I plan on reading next. If I…

Can you love the dark when you know what it hides?
Some things aren’t supposed to exist outside of our imagination.
Thirteen years ago, monsters emerged from the shadows and plunged Kierse’s world into a cataclysmic war of near-total destruction. The New York City she knew so well collapsed practically overnight.
In the wake of that carnage, the Monster Treaty was created. A truce...of sorts.
But tonight, Kierse―a gifted and fearless thief―will break that treaty. She’ll enter the Holly Library...not knowing it’s the home of a monster.
He’s charming. Quietly alluring. Terrifying. But he knows talent when he sees it; it’s just a matter of finding her price.
Now she’s locked into a dangerous bargain with a creature unlike any other. She’ll sacrifice her freedom. She’ll offer her skills. Together, they’ll put their own futures at risk.
But he’s been playing a game across centuries―and once she joins in, there will be no escape...

Sorry if you’ve already done this but I’ve been trying to learn about the drow language but I’m not sure how to pronounce the words? I can’t find anything on pronunciation other than the few words used in bg3.
Hello 🙂 The topic of pronunciation of drow language is a bit tricky, since in most official sources we are given only written names and phrases without pronunciation tips.
In Drow of the Underdark (2e), it is mentioned that drow are "as eloquent and musical in their speech as other elves" and that the everyday language of the drow "varies slightly from community to community, in the same way that spoken Common has regional accents, phrases and words" - but that is all.
🔹As for the drow content from the novels, R. A. Salvatore seemed to be generally applying Italian pronunciation to his drow characters' names.
In Lisa Smedman's The Lady Penitent books (in section "dramatis personae" in the second and third book), there are names of drow characters with pronunciation guides. There are, for example, Qilue Veladorn - KIE-loo-ay VEL-a-dorn, Cavatina Xarann - cav-a-TEEN-a zar-ANN, Cabrath Nelinderra - ka-BRATH nel-in-DAIR-uh, Halisstra Melarn - HAL-is-truh mel-ARN, Q'arlynd Melarn - KAR-lind mel-ARN, Seldszar Elpragh - SELDS-zar el-PRAG.
In Waterdeep: Dragon Heist there is a small pronunciation guide for non-English names, with a few drow names included - for example, Bregan D'aerthe - BRAY-gan DAIRTH, Jarlaxle Baenre - jar-LAX-ull BANE-ray.
🔹Following the most common pattern when it comes to fantasy elven laguages, it is probably safe to assume that drow language is generally pronounced a bit similarly to Latin.
It seems to be a thing - more or less, at least - with drow names and phrases voiced in games like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale or Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark, as well as with many drow names that appear in books with pronunciation guides.
But since roleplay-wise, drow language "varies slightly from community to community", I suppose it is totally OK to use a different pronunciation, especially in relation to characters from Underdark cities and communities different than Menzoberranzan.
Hope you will find this information helpful in some way 🙂

Hannah’s Head Injury
Hannah Dansby was a 28 year old web+app developer. She was the cute, shy, nerdy type who had shoulder length brown hair, green eyes, and stood at 5’6 with a slim build. Sadly, Ms Dansby was brought into our emergency department recently after sustaining blunt head trauma in a high speed collision.
The young lady laid on a backboard in a c-collar. She was intubated, had EKG electrodes on her chest, and IV lines going in both arms. She had a large seatbelt shaped bruise across the front of her chest, while there was a large laceration above her right eyebrow. On the side of her head above her right ear, you could see an accumulation of blood soaking her hair in that general area, with some blood droplets coming out of the right ear. Hannah’s eyes were wide open upon arrival even though she was intubated, and was actively convulsing while medics Stephanie and Tracy wheeled her into the trauma bay. Hannah’s toes scrunched at the other end of the gurney, showing off the fresh black nail polish and the cute, prominent wrinkles in the soles of her size 8 feet. “28 year old female, restrained driver in a high speed MVC. Intubated en route, vitals all over the place. Started seizing just as we pulled into here.” Medic Stephanie tells the trauma team, giving them a quick summary of what to expect. “ok, let’s transfer her on my count. One… two… THREE!” Dr Lindsay ordered.
Hannah was transferred onto the trauma room table underneath the large overhead light. “Push a unit of ativan, and run stat trauma labs. Page radiology, I’d like to get a head CT sooner rather than later.” Lindsay barked out to the members of her trauma team. Nurse Nancy pushed the dose of the anticonvulsants and drew the trauma labs. Dr Lindsay shined a pen light in Hannah’s eyes, revealing her pupils were fixed and dilated. “well, she’s already braindead. What a shame.” Dr Lindsay announced, shaking her head. “she might be a good organ donor. But don’t let transplant surgery know just yet. We don’t need them hovering over this poor girl like a vulture.” Dr Jose added. “amen to that.” Nurse Nancy replied in agreement.
The ativan took effect and stopped Hannah’s seizure. However, Hannah’s heart also stopped. “damn it, someone start compressions!” Dr Lindsay shouted while taking a look at the monitors. Hannah’s eyes remained wide open, staring expressionlessly across the room while Dr Jose started pumping away at her chest. His compressions were intense and forceful, causing Hannah’s chest to cave in and her belly to ripple out. Her small, perky breasts jiggled and one arm hung off the side of the table, bobbing and lolling around. Blood shot out of her right ear in sync with each individual compression. What happened was the temporal bone of her skull became partially displaced and slashed open the temporal artery within the subarachnoid space. A lot of blood in such a small space is always bad, so the pressure inside her skull built up rather quickly, squeezing her brain, causing her brain death, and the only way out for the excess blood was through the ear canal.
“Epi and atropine in Linds” nurse Heather called out. “ok, I’ve got v-fib on the monitors. Charge the paddles to 250” Dr Lindsay called out. The paddles were charged, gelled, and pressed up against Hannah’s bare chest, and a shock was delivered as soon as Jose stood clear. KA-THUNK. The young woman’s broken body tensed up and flopped for a moment. “no pulse, recharge to 300.” Dr Lindsay called out, placing 2 fingers on Hannah’s neck for a carotid pulse. The defibs were readied, and shock #2 was delivered. Hannah’s feet kicked around on the other end of the table in response to the shock, wrinkling the soles of her feet. “She’s still in v-fib. Charge to 360.” Dr Jose ordered, closely looking at the heart monitor. The third shock caused Hannah’s chest to shoot up and her back to arch, while her eyes remained wide open, looking almost as if she was watching the team as they coded her.
A fourth shock was delivered shortly after, sending Hannah into PEA. Nurse Heather took over chest compressions this time, and the next doses of epinephrine and atropine were pushed into the young lady’s IV line. Medics Stephanie and Tracy stood behind the yellow line in the trauma room still watching the code. “what a shame.” Stephanie says, knowing how this code is going to play out. “yeah, I hope they find the SOB that hit her. Someone on scene said it was a hit and run.” Tracy replies. Tracy and Stephanie’s conversation is interrupted for a moment. “excuse me, coming through.” A female voice said. Sure enough, it was Dr Amy, the hospital’s transplant surgeon. “hey, is this the head trauma patient? I need an A+ liver for a hemochromatosis patient and a kidney for a little girl.” Dr Amy says, forgoing any greetings or any social graces associated with conversation. “ugh. Amy. Can this girl just die in peace?” a frustrated Dr Lindsay replies. “I know you have your patients to look out for, but I have mine to look out for. This beautiful girl woke up this morning not knowing it was gonna be her last day, and I wanna at least try for her.” Dr Lindsay added, trying to reason with the transplant surgeon. “alright, just try to make it quick so I can get the ORs ready.” Dr Amy replied, more or less disregarding Dr Lindsay’s heartfelt reply before walking out of the trauma room. “wow what a bitch.” Medic Tracy said, surprised at the exchange that took place.
Hannah converted back to a shockable rhythm, so the paddles were charged to 360, gelled, and pressed back up against the patient’s bare chest. Hannah’s body jolted violently in response to the shock, but v-fib displayed on the monitors. “hit her again at 360. Everyone… CLEAR!” Dr Lindsay shouted, pressing the paddles onto Hannah’s bare chest. KA-THUNK. “no change, shocking again. Everyone stand clear!” Lindsay barked out. Hannah’s body thrashed around on the table for a brief moment before going limp again, but she was still in v-fib. Lindsay shocked her again, causing a quick, but violent reaction out of Hannah. This time, the monitors went completely flat. “asystole…” Dr Jose said in a defeated tone. Lindsay let out a sigh, and placed the defib paddles back on the crash cart. She started to peel her gloves off, making the dreaded announcement. “time of death, 4:07pm.”
The ambu bag was detached from the ET tube and the flatlined monitors were switched off. Nurse Nancy gently shut Hannah’s eyes for the last time, while nurse Heather started disconnecting the EKG electrodes. “let Amy know. I’m sure she’ll be thrilled…” an upset Dr Lindsay said, heading out of the room.
Hannah’s organs were able to be successfully extracted and were credited for saving 3 different lives. Unfortunately, the alleged hit and run driver that killed her has yet to be located by law enforcement. If you have any information regarding this incident, please reach out to the authorities.

Alice Creel’s Weird Age, TFS, and Interview With The Vampire
So, Interview With The Vampire is on the S4 board:
And I’m wondering if it might be connected to whatever the hell is going on with Alice Creel’s age.
After all, Alice should be 15 in 1959 according to the Weekly Watcher:
But when we see her in 1959 in the show, she’s clearly a little girl, younger than 15:
And when we see her in the TFS promo stuff, Henry appears older than he should be (as he’s supposed to be 12), but Alice is still a little girl:
But wait- what other piece of media has a blonde haired, blue-eyed little girl who doesn’t age?
Interview With The Vampire does.
Claudia from Interview With The Vampire is trapped permanently as a little girl because she was a little girl when she was turned into a vampire- and she resembles Alice with the blonde hair and blue eyes and constantly appearing as a little girl.
And to tie this even more to TFS specifically, Claudia’s appearance in the musical/stage adaptation, “Lestat,” resembles Alice even more strongly than the movie version of Claudia does- Claudia and Alice even both have very similar yellow dresses, and I won’t be surprised if Alice’s yellow dress was specifically inspired by the musical version of Claudia (keeping in mind that TFS was being written while S4 was still in production):
And it’s also worth keeping in mind that there’s constant vampire references in ST, and specifically, vampire references connected to the Creels and Brenner.
For example, Vecna is compared to a vampire by Steve:
And Brenner, like I talked about in this post, lacks a reflection at times when he should have one- much like a vampire.
And there’s also all of the references in ST to Kas from DND- Kas, who as turned into a vampire because he spent so much time close to the negative energy plane (which reminds me quite a bit of the void from ST, and has me wondering about the ways in which the void/proximity to it affects people, including Alice, but that’s a post for another time).
It’s also worth noting that “Let The Right One In” is also on the S4 board:
And it’s another movie about a young vampire girl- and that includes a blonde middle aged woman character named Virginia Lind who is attacked by said vampire and later turns into a vampire. Virginia Lind definitely reminds me of Virginia Creel:
Do I think that Alice Creel is a literal mythological blood-sucking vampire? No. But I DO think that whatever’s going on with Alice’s weird age/her perpetually appearing as a little girl is connected to the rest of the vampire imagery in ST & the ST lore reason for all of that vampire imagery (whatever that reason may be, I’m not 100% sure yet), is the same thing that’s causing the weirdness with Alice’s age.

Në atë që dikush e quan pjekuri dhe unë guxim, zgjodha të kërkoj notin nëpër ujra të thella.
Aty ty të njoha, në ato ditë kur dallgët e detit s’premtonin qetësi, shpresa nuk më humbi sepse ka ndjesi që e mbajnë njeriun fort të lidhur ndaj përpjekjeve për të ndjekur ndjenjen që zemrës i ul fuqinë për të qenë krenare. E përsëri dikush do mund të thotë se është papjekuri, unë i them frymarrje që gjendet tek guximi për të realizuar të pamundurën.
E vërtetë është në njerëz të tillë s’mund të kërkosh të ardhmen... ashtu si dhe ti tek unë, të kërkosh se do mund të më interesojë për të tjerët, për atë që ata thonë dhe me budallëk kërkojnë ta imponojnë. Ende jam dhe do mbetem i njëjti njeri, askush s’do ketë mundësinë për të prekur atë që unë jam, askush s'do më interesojë në atë që thotë sepse i shoh shumë larg prej meje për të më dhënë mend.
E megjithatë, as kjo s'të mjaftoi për të vënë re se në mes të këtij grumbulli me human që kureshtje nuk ngjallin për mua ti ishe ndryshe.
Më thuaj se të idealizoj, por nuk më intereson, për idealet që kanë besuar të tjerët kanë dhënë jetën... e jo më unë për ty.
Nazim Hikmeti ka shkruar se:
“disa thonë s’jetoj dot pa ty,
unë jetoj edhe pa ty,
por me ty jetoj më mirë.”
Besoj është e dukshme edhe për të tjerë se jeta do të vazhdojë. Dielli do të lind në mengjes,
por askush nuk do mund të të tregojë se sa shumë i ngjan.
Në shumë forma të hënës ti shpirtin do gjesh, herë gjysëm, e herë plot, por do të ketë dhe nga ato ditë që vetmia do të vrasë dhe dikë do të kërkosh.
Shiu në rrebesh do të lagë, por zjarri do mungojë sepse ka oxhaqe që vetëm me prezencën e tyre do të gënjejnë.
E në yje dëshirën do shprehësh, duke pritur që ata të bien dhe pritja do të lodhë.
Koha do kalojë dhe me të e pengjet do të shtohen, disa dhimbje do të harrohen, por pavarësisht së gjithash jeta do të vazhdojë.
Nëpër hapat që do hedhësh për diçka do shpresosh,
e rrëmuja e përditshme do të largojë nga mundësia për të ndjerë, frymën do të marrë, e veten do harrosh.
Të gjitha do kalojnë dhe nuk ka problem, si ti ashtu dhe unë në diçka veten do realizojmë.
Ende e mendoj dhe dua të të them se është e drejtë, kur thua se të ardhmen tek unë nuk sheh. Ndoshta për ty s’do të jem ndonjëhere, por për fëmijet e tu, po.
Ata do të shkollohen në universitetet e mia, do kalojnë kohën e tyre më të bukur në ambientet dhe hapësirat e panumërta që do mund të krijoj, do kalojnë pushimet në ato resorte që unë do ndërtoj. Në të gjitha herët që do të ndihen të pamundur do të gjejnë një shembull frymëzimi se si një njeri me të pamundurën mund të luftojë. Do shuajnë mërzitjen duke lexuar librat e mi, mbase dhe do të dëgjojnë këngët që në ndonjë stacion radioje dikur dhe ne kemi dëgjuar. Apo ndoshta do kërkojnë guximin, mbase dashurinë, mbase s’do gabojnë dhe në të ardhmen e mundur apo të pamundur ska rëndësi lumturinë do të gjejnë dhe kjo mjafton.
Në një jetë të marrë si kjo, arritja më e madhe e njeriut është lumturia që ndjen në liri…

My Thoughts on The Wren in the Holly Library (The Oak & Holly Cycle, Book 1) by K.A. Linde
Sharing my thoughts on The Wren in the Holly Library, the first book in the The Oak & Holly Cycle series by K.A. Linde
I went into The Wren in the Holly Library, the first book in The Oak & Holly Cycle, by K.A. Linde, with no information. I picked up this book purely because it looked gorgeous, with decorative sprayed edges and artwork on the inside cover. The dedication, “To the girls who fell for the library before the beast,” should have alerted me to the book’s inspiration from Beauty and the Beast. However,…

Laulurästas kordab oma laulus üht ja sama motiivi kaks kuni neli või isegi viis korda, seda otsekui rõhutades, seejuures laenab ta hääli ka teistelt lindudelt. Sellepärast ongi teda kerge segi ajada isegi ööbiku endaga. Eesti vanarahvas teadis aga täpselt, et püüab laulurästas, mis ta püüab, ööbikust jääb ta laulu poolest ikka maha. Rahvakeeles ongi teda nimetatud abi-, võlts-, vale- solgi- ja ebaööbikuks, sest ta püüab oma laulus ööbikut järele aimata.
Eero Haapasega ütles, et laulurästas olevatki parem laulumees kui ööbik. Laulurästa laul kõlavat loovalt ja tundeliselt, ööbik laulvat küll virtuaalselt, aga tundetult, pigem mehhaaniliselt.
Linnulaulu uurijad väidavad, et laulurästail võib eristada 135 kuni 220 laulutüüpi. Kui arvestada veel sellega, et ööbik on 50 aastat tagasi Soomes üsna haruldane lind olnud, siis on selge, miks soomlased ööbikule laulurästast eelistavad.
Eestlased on aga just ööbikut laulukuningaks pidanud, sest linnuke olevat oma lauluoskuse õppinud Vanemuise enda kandlemängust. Ööbik mitte ainult ei laula, ta lööb, laksutab, naksutab, plaksutab, tiksutab, latsutab, sihiseb, suristab, lidiseb, soltsub, ketrab, muisutab, vilistab ja hõikab ning õhutab tööle nii laisku künnihärgi kui tüdrukuid.
