Run, don't walk, to read this!!! Eerie horror steeped in emotional trauma. 5☆ read for me! Couldn't ask for a better debut novel.

This was a wild journey, beautiful storytelling, breathtakingly atmospheric detail and complex characters. This book will live in my mind for a while.

Just finished this spicy, dark romance. It had a good amount of humor mixed in and the audio narrators were great!

This was a sweet romance between a bull rider and his agent's daughter. There's some good banter, close proximity and a one bed trope. Overall it was a good romance but I think I'll enjoy the other ones in the series more.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Just to recap: prices are worse, planes are colliding, we’ve been spitting on the Constitution, citizens have less rights then they did last week, we’re building concentration camps…BUT.. the good news is that children in schools are scared for a reason other than bullets for a change. 🤷‍♀️

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.
