Happy Launch Day to THE WAX CHILD!

thank you Gabriela! she is so good at reading from it on the show I'm confident you have a sense of the journey you are in for

Happy Launch Day to THE WAX CHILD!

"And I, I am a wax child, secreted from the scaly glands of the honeybee's abdomen, of rose hip, propolis, pollen, dread, quince, longing, yeast dough, age, and ever young, with infinity's secret in my folds."

Can’t wait to listen. I really enjoyed this book and still remember how astounded I was by the excellence of The Employees.

"And I, I am a wax child, secreted from the scaly glands of the honeybee's abdomen, of rose hip, propolis, pollen, dread, quince, longing, yeast dough, age, and ever young, with infinity's secret in my folds."

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

For all that the topics in an episode of Between the Covers are fascinating and the conversations insightful, listening to the guests respond to the questions is always hands down the best part.

You can hear that they're truly moved and astonished by how well they've been understood and I love it.
