@patrickworld so long as he doesn't force his minor child(children) to implode with him, I'm fine with billionaires self-selecting this way.

I read and reviewed Kuchenga Shenjé's The Library Thief, and this is one case where "it's not the book, it's me" totally applies.

I read Vanessa Riley's A Gamble at Sunset, first in a new historical romance series. Alas, I think this author's writing voice may not be for me.

I positively inhaled David S. Pederson's Puzzles Can Be Deatly, a most excellent fairplay historical quozy mystery. Here's hoping the author writes more books with these protagonists.

Covers have a purpose: they signal the genre within.

A cartoon cover of two people dressed casually for camping does not--and I cannot stress this enough--signal EROTICA to anyone.

Holy jumping WHAT THE HELL, , WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL--you are setting that book (and its author) up to fail.

Because I didn't feel right with my DNF review for this months' , I dug up another ancient ARC from the digital shelves: Nalini Singh's Rock Wedding

Amazingly, it worked quite well!

I read Ashley Weaver's Locked In Pursuit, the most recent Electra McDonnell (released today); good but not as good as the rest of the series.

I just came across this TikTok " for their for dinner" remark", and I love how clear the goal and mechanism to achieve it are: if enough people do this one fairly little thing for a full quarter, the powerful will notice, and can be forced to change their behavior.

That's how boycotts work, after all.

There's a playlist, where she answers a lot of "but..." and "what if..." comments. Go listen.

Are you going to the store this weekend? Have you heard about the ongoing ? It's never too late to join--or to spread the word about it to your family, friends, neighbors and social media circles.

Have you heard of the ongoing ? If you haven't, I hope you consider joining in and/or helping spread the word.

Collective action is the only way for individuals without billions in currency or property, and those who aren't elected officials at high levels of government, to change the status quo for the benefit of the whole.
