Please forgive me for taking an internet detox. I have been spending time with my new baby. I hope you have all been well.

Watching Wishbone on PBS made reading so epic and magical as a child. I truly believe I would not be the bookworm, or librarian, I am without access to PBS programs.

Fourth Wing Review Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, the first book in The Empyrean series, is set in Navarre, a kingdom alongside fearsome dragons. The protagonist, Violet, faces an unexpected path on Conscription Day, shifting from her scribe aspirations to surviving in the dangerous Riders Quadrant. The story features a diverse cast, emotional betrayals, and a mix of humor and complexity, particularly with the dragon characters. While the world-building is appreciated, the review notes excessive foreshadowing and issues with spice levels that detract from the experience. Additionally, concerns about relationship boundaries and anachronistic language affect immersion. Overall, it received a 3.5-star rating.

I'm reading the fourth wing now. I don't super like it, but I will support the crap out of female authors.

My favorite indie bookstore is in South Dakota. They are considering selling and moving because of the constant bills attacking the trans community. I will really miss them, but keeping your family safe most always come first. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Empire of Shadowsย Review Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson, the first installment in the Raiders of the Arcana series, is an adventure set in 1898, featuring suffragette Ellie and the charming Adam Bates. The book opens during a protest where Ellie, depicted as an irritable character, inadvertently stumbles upon a treasure map, leading her and Adam on an exhilarating quest to discover a lost Mayan city. Despite the engaging plot and Adam's likable persona, the review critiques Ellie's incessant anger, diminishing the overall enjoyment. The cover art is noted as intriguing but lacking depth, missing meaningful connections to the story. Overall, the narrative blends romance with historical elements.

It is wild to me when leftist crowds use 'white women feminism' levels of hating men ๐Ÿ˜ณ True feminism allows men to have feelings.
I just got chewed out on my favorite left fb page for saying their post about deadbeat dad's missed the mark and the response reeked of patriarchy 'men equal bad' bs.

Why is donating to charity considered noble, yet building a society where charity isn't necessary is seen as bad as wrong?
