I’m going to show you a book cover I’ve been staring at for ten minutes with the disclaimer that this isn’t anywhere close to the wildest book cover I’ve ever seen. It simply compels me. It haunts me. It makes me want to go back to the library to check it out.

also on the topic of religion can i just say that it's getting tiring to hear about the Evangelical Plot To Trigger The End Times With Israel like as the primary reason for US support for Israel rather than like the actual material interests imperialists have in propping up a wehrbauer proxy state in a highly geostrategic location
Fantasy setting where the calendar has exactly twelve months of thirty days, but the year is still 365 days long; the remaining five days are nameless, numberless, considered to be part of no month or year, and may strike at any time, being impossible for mortals to predict in advance – you just wake up in the morning and see the Signs. Sometimes they're widely scattered throughout the year, sometimes you get two or three in a row; all five in one go is either a very good omen, or a very bad one. Some years have six nameless days rather than five and nobody knows why.
This post: *repeatedly emphasies that it's talking about randomly distributed intercalary days*
The notes: "This is just [calendar system in which the intercalary days are not, in fact, randomly distributed]."

I NEED IT
Here is a link to watch it free online with English subtitles.
Just as a warning, it is a little violent, some horses are killed during the battles, and there is a scene where Wentai cuts open his wrist. It is a very good movie, I just finished watching it and would recommend everyone watch it.
