Just read a few pages of Evan Winter's The Rage of Dragons (opening chapters are on his website). It's bloody, but good.

Interesting. Samsung will no longer let you pick your own default browser. Firefox? Nope. Duck Duck Go? Forget it. What works? Chrome and Samsung's native browser (which is Chrome-based).
More #BigTech shenanigans?
Links in apps not working on Samsung phones if default app is Firefox or Duck Duck Go.

Screenshot of the app store in the #Zorin distro. It's nice. Lots of stuff here. Even better, loads of programs I already use in Win has a #Linux version.
Oh, and taking this screenshot and finding the file was ridiculously easy. Wow.

Sorry this happened to you. You may have to reach back out to AMZ. The plagiarized book is still for sale on their UK site.

Remember the movie "To Sir, With Love" starring Sidney Poitier ? It was based on a book written by E. R. Braithwaite. Mr. Braithwaite was born in British Guiana (now, Guyana). In life he was an RAF pilot (WWII), a diplomat, and a teacher.

Queen Latifah in The #Equalizer as Robyn McCall hits so good. This is my comfort show for these harsh, cold times. A former Army Soldier/CIA agent, kicking tail and handling business like a queen? Yeah, I'm here for it.

All done. Love it. Totally worth the read. I highly recommend the audiobook version. Stellar narration.

My Readalong at #Storygraph is neat. A bit disorganized (hey, don't sue me, it's my first time), but it's cool chatting with others about a good book.
"My Sister, the Serial Killer" by Oyinkan Braithwaite is really good.

A peek at my little library. There's a spot to read next to the warm fireplace, and of course, a coffee station. ☺️

In view are dividing rope, checkout counter, shelves with books and magazines, and some art. Another view of the virtual library showing bookshelves and a computer to find titles. The entrance to the virtual library. It is painted light mint with brick exterior on the top floor. Outside the front door are some book displays, a sign, and a newspaper rack.

YA is not a genre I typically read. That said I'm glad I diverted a bit to read Ghost Roast by Shawnelle Gibbs, Shawneé Gibbs, & Emily Cannon. The story & illustration were on point. Diverse characters, a bit of mystery, a satisfying ending.
