SSAC2022 Day 1 - “Bread of Lifers” by Caroline Kim

December 2022 started out a little crazy here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library, much as the whole year kind of went, and as a result we kind of skipped our Head Alien’s long tradition of opening and sharing the Short Story Advent Calendar through the month. So instead we are introducing – possibly just for this year, possibly as a new tradition, only time will tell – the Butterflies & Aliens Non-Denominational Advent in January…

Signs of the coming season…

Just a wee little post to share that we just received our 2022 Short Story Advent Calendar and cracked our first carton of eggnog here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library! Yeah, we are kind of looking forward to the coming winter season!

Happy Towel Day 2022!

Last year, for our inaugural Towel Day here at the Butterflies & Aliens Library, it made sense to share the book series from whence came the Towel Day name.

But as much as I love The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, to honour Adams this year I thought I’d shout out his lesser known Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and its sequel The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!

A year ago today, we launched the Butterflies & Aliens Library of Literary Eccentricities and Rarities… “to celebrate our shared delight and curiosity in books, about books, over books”… so not only are we celebrating a happy new year, but also the first birthday of our little pandemic project that could.
