The audiobook version of There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins, narrated by Bahni Turpin, is one of those rare audiobooks where the act of listening transforms the story into something far darker, sharper, and more intense than when reading the text, and I was SO here for it!

If you can still support that man, I don't think I am comfortable with you around kids because you're finding excuses for why rich people get to do gross things to children. You're gone. Your soul is gone.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

This is a minor thing but pubs who refuse to unsub me from a mailing list that I've hit the unsub button on 3x's get blocked and I will not buy their books again. Sheesh how freaking rude. And saying "because you once subscribed to our magazine" is NOT an excuse to continue spamming my mailbox.
