This is a really good thread. A lot of people think that a book starting with "action" means an actual "pew-pew fight fight" action scene. No, it means a scene in which something happens that is a keystone to the whole story. Take it out, and everything falls apart.

I want to write a whole thesis on pacing and why it's not about action, but I'm pretty sure no one cares, so I'm going to go make snickerdoodles instead.

Well, this book. Cold West by @claytonsnyder. It is astonishingly well written. It is under 200 pages. It is dark and gut-wrenching and parts Unforgiven and Gladiator with a touch of Stewart O'Nan. Just go and grab it already.

In my continuing efforts to review books I've read this year (and read more)... Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeiries by Heather Fawcett! I loved it. I loved the journalistic style, the prickly main characters, the moments of peril. Definitely looking forward to the sequel!

Tangled is one of my favorite Disney movies. So much better than Frozen, and completely overshadowed by it since it came out just a couple years before it.

Megamind is the best Will Ferrell movie and I will not be taking questions at this time.
