So, I've just read my last book for the year. I predicted I would read 50 books on Goodreads, and I've just finished number 63. This doesn't include the 21 audiobooks I listened to while at the gym, nor the two books I beta read.

Get your horror novel that explores human-animal power dynamics. Bon appetite!

Buy yours! books2read.com/Domestication
"The novel explores the power dynamics inherent in both human and animal relationships, touching on the ethics of speciesism—or 'human supremacy' as it's put by the characters in the novel— questioning the morality of eating animals of all kinds." -Elizabeth, Plant Based Bride. Photo of the hardcover of Domestication by Shannon Knight held in front of a river valley of tall grass with Icelandic sheep grazing in it.

Just a thought here...
Why haven't aliens made first contact with US?
Because it's way too cold for them, there's too much ICE.
