Revise the book.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I thought I'd just breeze through and vote for stuff I've read and remember (I see you, opals and storms) but apparently I have to drop everything and listen to The Mythic Dream

I highly recommend that book.

Now tagless for your comfort.
A readers' advisory consultant at work told us that when the world is a garbage fire, two genres of books increase in readership: romance and dystopian fiction.
One, because people want to lose themselves in happy endings, the other, because they want to know it could be worse.
I just got my second $20 amazon gift card for listening to my 3rd romance novel on audible this month.
