If you’ve ever felt touched by a book on a personal level, why not go ahead and write that short #bookreview? It tells the author, “more of this please!”

On the current administration’s list of banned words: “men”, “woman,” “women”.
Let me know when you feel this finally applies to you. On a positive note, the singular “man” appears to still be safe, so as long as you males walk alone, you’re probably still ok. Just remember to carry mace.

How exciting! I’m not quite there, but getting better day by day. Ignore the big blue line for book sales last summer—it never happened & Az never corrected it 🤷🏻♀️. Otherwise, clearly the 2nd 1/2 of the Yr was better than the first! Now…hoping people realize their Zon boycott only hurts little folks.
