Why the hell is the US negotiating with Ukraine for a peace deal? Do we work for Russia now? Surely we should be negotiating with Russia on Ukraine's behalf. And why is the NYT not calling out how weird this is?

Just gutted for Lewis Hamilton and Charles LeClerc. I can't claim to be 'tifosi', but it's really time for a Ferrari comeback. If only the team could get out of their own way. Charles is a WDC caliber driver who just can't catch a break.

Only went to college because a bachelor's is a prerequisite for law school. So I majored in something interesting to me and it worked out great. Economics education changed how I look at the world. (And probably how I practice law.)

3. Never changed it-- that's what my bachelor's is in.
4. Writer, and running a Spanish teaching business with my wife.
My son effectively got the same degree as me, and is getting a lot more direct use out of it. But the tech makes that so much easier now.

I want to stop buying physical books from Amazon. They damage nearly every hardcover I buy. I'm willing to forego the discounts to not have to waste my time returning and replacing.
Where do you buy books? Would love recommendations for online stores that pack books properly for shipping.

Surprise: SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN is Audible deal of the day! Just 2.99 for the saga of a shapeshifting monster who *accidentally* falls in love with the woman who's hunting her.
I adore Carmen Rose's narration on this book. She gives my monster such a voice! www.audible.com/pd/Someone-Y...

If you're not reading Maradaine...well, you should be. Just go read them. Always starts as a fun lighthearted adventure romp and ends with you loving these characters an unreasonable amount.
Cass is telling you brilliant things up and down this thread about the Maradaine Saga, but here's a critical part: I've got a sampler for you so you can take this fantasy series for a test drive, and see if it's right for you.
You can also download a TOTALLY FREE SAMPLER to get a taste of the different subseries and see which one you might like to jump in with (if you're not inclined, as I am, to go in strict chronological order -- because you don't have to!)

@mrmaresca.com so I just finished Holver Alley on audio. Awesome novel. But it looks like only some of the remaining books are on Audible. Are others elsewhere? Or just didn't get recorded?
