Will Cardiel and his mother live together in Thunder Bay. To Will's knowledge, he has never been outside of his house. He has never been to school, never had a friend, and has never been to a family members for the holiday. His mother has taught him everything; how to create masterpieces on canvas, how to write a check and how to answer the door for all the different delivery people who visit their house.
When Will hears a loud bag Outside, he is determined to find out what it is and why his mother insists he stays Inside. Will's Mom, Diane, is agoraphobic and the idea of Will or herself going Outside sends her to a place, Will calls the Black Lagoon. When Will finally makes it Outside, he's not sure what the big deal is. He find himself on the Outside more and his mom gets sucked deeper into the Black Lagoon.
Michael Christie writes an interesting quirky novel that keeps the reader guessing about where they are. While the location of most of the book takes place in the town of Thunder Bay in Canada, but the Cardiel's have named each room in their house after a major city. The Basement is Toronto, the Kitchen is Paris, Will's Room is New York, Diane's Room is San Francisco, the Living Room is Cairo and the Bathroom is Venice. Inside and Outside are capitalized throughout the book as if they also are their own little towns.
I have never met anyone who has agoraphobia before. Diane reminded me of Joan Cusak's character on the show Shameless. When she was first introduced into the show, she could not leave her house.
While Will is Outside, Diane tries all she can to relax. Will these two be able to both live their lives in a reasonable manner? Is there any way for Will to enjoy the Outside without sending his mother so far into the Black Lagoon, she may never return. This is a beautifully written book, but it gave me many mixed emotions throughout.
**I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.**

I liked reading this book much more after having read texts on Woolf's craft of writing like A Letter to a Young Poet and A Room of One's Own. I feel like I appreciate what she was trying to do with the characters much more this time around. If you have the time, I recommend reading it twice: once for the plot and the second for comprehension of what she is doing.

I use this every week as I play D&D on Roll20 with friends from around the world.
However, one of the players is in the same room as me and when I use it on my mobile, despite him showing as muted on the call, I have to unmute and remute every single session.
Other than that, it works well

Jun 5, 2020
Rolling Stone's 205th greatest album of all time
Great studio album by Cream, featuring White Room and a cover of Born Under a Bad Sign, it is a band performing at their best. The intricate drumming meets the superb guitar-work in well-controlled and produced songs.
The live album is a long rambling self-indulgent mess. I don't mind the odd drum solo but over 5 minutes is too long, by about 4.5 minutes.

Mar 9, 2018
When Lee goes to pick up the judge for this year's Winter Festival, she finds him drunk and a real jerk. Dropping him off in a hotel room seems like the best idea, until he is found murdered with Lee as the prime suspect. This is the seventh in the series and will certainly please fans of light cozies.

Helen (25 KP) rated Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Generation) in Tech

Love it!
I originally got an Echo Dot for my partner for his birthday but we quickly purchased more and now have them in every room in the house. Alexa is synced to our Hive Hub so she can turn the lights on and off when requested. All of the Dots are connected on the same Network so you can ask one Dot to play music all over the house. Great piece of technology would recommend to everybody!
