Today, Sally shares a novel that she’s dying to talk about: Run by Blake Crouch — a gripping apocalyptic thriller about a man and his family running for their lives in an America gone mad.

From the publisher:
"No time to think. No time to ask why. Only time to run. Five days ago, the epidemic of rage began. Four days ago, the rash of senseless murders swept the nation. Three days ago, the president addressed the country and begged for peace — even as the murders increased tenfold. Two days ago, the killers began to mobilize. One day ago, the power went out. And tonight, the killers are reading the names of those to be killed over the Emergency Broadcast System. Jack Colclough is listening over the battery-powered radio on his kitchen table in Albuquerque, and he just heard his name. People are coming to his house to kill him, his wife, his daughter, and his son. He has no idea what's happening, or why, but the time for questions is long past. His only chance is to run. Following an ordinary family on a desperate race through an America that's destroying itself, Run is a terrifying, brutally stripped-down thriller from master storyteller Blake Crouch."

Art has a side and we must take ours

LYRICS:
hungry, hungry 
hungry, hungry, hungry 
he was so very, very 
so very, very hungry

In the light of the moon, 
a little egg lay on a leaf.


One Sunday morning, 
the warm sun came up and pop! 
-out of the egg came a tiny and 
very hungry caterpillar.

He started to look for some food.


On Monday he ate through one apple. But he was still hungry.

On Tuesday, he ate through two pears, but he was still hungry.

On Wednesday, he ate through three plums, but he was still hungry.

On Thursday, he ate through four strawberries, but he was still hungry.

On Friday, he ate through five oranges, but he was still hungry.


On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. 

That night he had a stomachache!

The next day was Sunday again.
The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better.

Now he wasn’t hungry anymore, 

and he wasn’t a little caterpillar anymore. He was a big, fat caterpillar.


He built a small house around himself, called a Cocoon, 
And he stayed inside for more than two weeks.


Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out, and...

HE WAS A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY 🦋


butterfly, fly 

fly butterfly, fly 

fly butter, fly butter

fly butter, fly very high


And he was beautiful.


He was so very beautiful.


A beautiful butterfly.


He was a very beautiful butterfly.
