Three chapters. Three completely different vibes. A room full of the most dangerous wizards in Faerun. A queen strapping on leather armor. And a boy getting shot in the back with an arrow right after hugging his dad.
Book: Backyard Farming: Composting | Author: Kim Pezza | ISBN: 978-1-57826-587-9 | Hatherleigh Press, 2015
Okay. This is the chapter most composting books skip over, and honestly, I get why. It’s not a comfortable topic. But if you keep animals on a farm, death is part of the deal. It just is. And when it happens, you need a plan for what comes next. Pezza addresses this head-on in Chapter 5, and I respect that.
This is the chapter nobody looks forward to. But if you raise pigs for meat, this is where the whole operation leads. Understanding the process makes it less overwhelming and helps you do it humanely.
Chapter 21 is where everything the book has been building toward starts to crack open. Xantcha has to deal with what happened with Gix in the catacombs, and the truth she discovers at Koilos changes everything.
Book: A Name to Conjure With by Donald Aamodt (1989)
Last chapter ended with a ridiculous plan. Sandy and Zhadnoboth would walk into a camp full of enemies and pretend to be harmless travelers. Uskban and Pognak would hide in the desert, waiting.
Bro finally made it to the Yuirwood. He’s walking through the forest he’s dreamed about for seven years. And it’s nothing like he remembers.
This is part of my series retelling Diary of a Very Bad Year. Today we’re covering Chapter V.
It’s January 16, 2009. The Dow is at 8,281. Unemployment is 7.6 percent. Over 300,000 foreclosures this month. And HFM just spent his New Year’s Eve chasing bank traders on ski slopes to get year-end prices for his portfolio. Welcome to year-end closing on Wall Street.
A hundred billion dollars moved through new lending channels. And the banking industry barely noticed.
That’s the headline of Chapter 6 in Charles H. Green’s The Banker’s Guide to New Small Business Finance. But before he gets to the money, he tears apart the tools and rules that were holding the old system together. Or more accurately, holding it back.
