I read Haunted Mediation and loved it! It's a serial novella and this is the book where the main characters move from unexpected friends to something more. I loved the theme of Halloween and the sense of community. It is a feel-good queer romance that is a bit of sunshine. @booksky.club

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

Get the good PPE out, folks, seriously, especially if you have a uterus. Get gas masks with good filters, not paper masks or N95--those aren't nearly good enough to protect you. Get a full-face mask if you can. Make sure it fits well. They're relatively inexpensive--I'm serious, protect yourself.
