Like an unwound clock
I had not planned to spend my evening on an unsuccessful quest for the preferred brand of cat sand in this house (I have obtained a substitute which the cats have keyn-ahora deigned to accept), but at least it put me in the same parking lot as Porter Square Books, which I used as an excuse to ask if they had a copy of Sarwat Chadda's City of the Plague God (2021), which I have wanted to read since its inauspicious release date and never got around to getting hold of. As a slight partisan of underworld gods, I expect I will argue with it to an equivalent degree, but I like the way it has a cuneiform line of Gilgamesh running along the bottom of every page. I do not like the vanishing act this month pulled, but a cat is asleep in my lap.

Blessed are the cats
A beautiful serendipity! I haven't heard of the store but a brief Google makes me immediately partisan (to borrow your word).
Well now I must also read this, which it turns out I can get for free with my temporary Kindle Unlimited free trial subscription.

They truly are.

They are my local independent bookstore! I used to do readings there. I am very fond of them.

Also serendipitous! I am enjoying it so far; it reminds me of a middle-grade version of the mythic fiction boom that I sort of grew up in the middle of.

Sold! I hope the argument will be enjoyable.
...a cat is asleep in my lap
As it should be.

Right? Thank you!
As it should be.
He is now asleep in the small of my back, as I had to get up and he took over my chair.

Autolycus is excellent at being a melted clock.
