They have helped SO many of us with their expertise & guidance so we can do efficient & quick research.

You don’t need us toiling in Pubmed for days at a time during an outbreak. The library helps us get what we need quickly so we can continue our work.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Really enjoyed JANAE SANDERS' SECOND TIME AROUND by LaQuette! Sexy romance, great friendships, examines both positive and harmful parent/child relationships. #ewgc

Hi #ewgc! A slow ARC month for me since our last chat— been more focused on books already published this year (reading Flesh by David Szalay right now- excellent). But starting to get so many exciting 2026 books!!

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off."

'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.'

We hope neither carries you off today.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.
