To scare away the PTA, a single mom claims to be a witch. When displays of roadkill and pentagrams appear at school, she’s the main suspect. To clear her name, she works with the asst principal to find the culprit, but they struggle to keep their eyes (and hands) off each other. #roundtablementor #R

It’s taken a long time for me to settle on what to say about the LibGen database and theft of books for AI. But I think I’m there now.
