Hey πŸ’™πŸ“š! I'm looking for a gift for a colleague--gen Z, grew up with HP but is now conflicted because of the author's awfulness, former English teacher.

Anybody have a pretty special edition available? She's mainly a fantasy reader, but digs classic lit too.

I can tell I've gotten to the point in my WIP where I hate it lol. I cut the grass, mulched leaves, planted plants that have been waiting since June, & powerwashed the garage so I can paint it.

Oh, and I'm also considering writing a children's book about Bo and his emotional support football 😁

The cover of the spicy historical romance "Waiting for a Scot Like You" by Eva Leigh. The cover shows a jacked Scottish man with most of his shirt off as he grips the back of the neck of a woman with streaks of gray in her hair. She's wearing a pink dress, and the couple is standing a distance from a manor house at sunset.

That one time when a 40+ y.o. widow went on a road trip with a younger, gruff Scottish soldier and it turned out he was a Dom...

The reason I’m talking so much about the food at food pantries is because I want people to go. I want the stigma to be removed. Imagine it like a community garden. Feeding our neighbors is a great thing.

I know folks who were too proud to go. Let’s end that.

I'm sorry I keep asking for help, but I literally have nowhere else to turn. I am doing my best to get back on my feet, both literally & metaphorically, but that will be exponentially harder if I lose my apartment. I desperately need $482 for rent & enough utilities to avoid shut off. Please.
