Let's not forget that Republican led states have actively suppressed education for more than half a century...because they know that a poorly educated populace is easier to mislead and manipulate. They are flat out evil.

People should shut up and mind their own business.

I've been reading almost exclusively for escapism for the last year. My poor overwhelmed mind doesn't want to tackle anything heavy. I have a partial list for you.

Most of my books are packed away and in a storage locker. I'm trying to sell my house to move to an apartment and had to declutter. Unfortunately (not really), I've been buying more books!

I'm going to have to hunt through my lists of books I've read. (Though I've only been keeping the list for a few years.) It's going to take a minute! I'm 66 and have been an avid reader since I was 5. ๐Ÿ˜†

Good morning, the President is certifiably insane. That is all.

He's never physically hurt anyone??? He thinks his Nazi hate speech and behaviour and his vicious business practices, not to mention his destroying vital government agencies don't hurt people? I try not to swear on social media, but f**k all the way off, apartheid a**hole.

Just in case you are wondering, YES.

We are in a constitutional crisis because that assholeโ€™s admin is defying court orders.

I just looked up the Quicksilver series and saw the cover of book 1. I picked that up at Indigo last weekend! It's on my shelf, waiting to be read.

Mine too! I've read all of that. I'm just finishing her Daughter of No Worlds Series. I really like that as well, but I love the Crowns of Nyaxia books. Waiting on The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk!

Thank you, RIO! I read the Andrews and Dark series before I'd ever heard the term Romantasy.

I have the Blood and Ash series, but haven't started it yet. It looks great. I'm going to add the rest of the series to my list. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’œ

Ooh, thank you! Honestly, both. I'm actually a very eclectic reader. There are few genres that I won't read.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He looks exactly like our boy, Bill. (My daughter named him when she was 4.) We lost him at 16 as well, though that was 14 years ago. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›๐Ÿ’”

Marco Rubioโ€™s Policies Might Shut the Door to People Like His Grandfather (Published 2016) Under the stricter screening Senator Marco Rubio now supports, his grandfather would most likely have been deported, depriving him of knowing the man he has called his mentor and closest boyhood frien...

Despite Rubioโ€™s grandfatherโ€™s โ€œinsistence that he was fleeing oppression, immigration officials raised suspicions that he might harbor communist sympathiesโ€ฆThat charge, had they pursued it, could have led to a conclusion that he was a national security threat.โ€

Oh. The. Irony.

I think our new PM is the right person at the right time for Canada. I think he'll do well.

Hey, Romantasy readers! I've read a fair number of series in this genre. Other than the best known of these (ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, etc.), what have you enjoyed?

Many people who do not consider themselves racist or sexist,

can only relate to Black women in a subordinate role or station.

Thatโ€™s why Black women who for years are seen as knowledgeable, reliable & productive

are seen as aggressive & intimidating when they get a scrap of authority.
