I LOVED The Love Haters by Katherine Center!

"Her brilliant first-person voice feels like we are talking to a friend who is telling us a fascinating story. A story that we really want to end well."

I really enjoyed A Dark and Deadly Journey by @juliakellywrites.bsky.social. It's the third installment in her Evelyne Redfern series and the setting in Portugal, in the middle of WWII, is fascinating. My review was first posted on Bookreporter.com.

This is 100% correct. If you don’t have documents proving legal status, we don’t issue an SSN. No SSN, no benefits. And we don’t just assume the documents are valid. Every applicant’s status is verified with immigration. Every. Single. Time. Period. Don’t believe their lies. Tell your friends.

Well, that's definitive. No Amish have autism, so it's because they don't take Tylenol. Obviously. Not because no one gets tested for it.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

And, my own sweet, black, senior cat with the book I just reviewed. There is a black cat in one of the stories; its name is Sorrow. My cat is the opposite of sorrow. He's funny, clever, and thinks he's a dog!
