Hey, everyone. If you're tired of a normal, happy ending, try this short story collection. It's way less happy, but it has way more endings. Today's book is called Get in Trouble by Kelly Link.

I'm Kellanerskin. I'm a comic, a father. And I recommended this book today for a podcast when I hadn't read it myself for 10 years. And then I re-read it last week and realized I only like two of the stories.

That's funny, because I liked most of them.

This is when you introduce a friend to someone you kind of like, and then they get married.

And I'm David Vance.

Get in trouble is what I mutter to myself when I use incognito mode to read an extra

wired article.

Get In Trouble is a short story collection full of magical realism, which basically

means anytime you're having fun with the magic, in comes the realism to make it less

fun.

And this is the book pile. A listener who calls

himself, unique name goes here, said, very entertaining podcast that has led me to read a few good

books and help me rationalize not reading me anymore. The JFK jokes will never good old, just like JFK.

I love a solid review with a solid joke.

Yeah, that's great.

All right, a big announcement.
