Wilderness of the Heart combines heart-pounding sci-fi adventure with sizzling romance in an alien world that will captivate your imagination.
Will Jane choose Science or Love?

She is saved by a human man thought lost to the wilds and an unlikely bond forms between them and Jane must risk her academic reputation to protect Ezra and prevent another disaster or lose him forever. #Q #A #SF #R #amquerying

Me and a friend were literally talking about The Chosen and The Beautiful this morning so I’m taking this as a sign that it must be Nghi Vo appreciation day.

Ah see, we are strangers and you haven’t ever interacted with me before nor do you follow me so I have no context to read the tone you left in my mentions.

After having done this last year and lived to tell the tale, here I am again 18 hours later and just fine!

Why don’t you worry about yourself?

Cat grins in the camera with a cheeky smile, hand underneath her chin like “aren’t I so cute?”

When those Most Frequently Banned Books lists are all books from dead authors, it kinda suggests to me that they’ve accumulated an outsized amount of bans since they’ve all been around a long time, much longer than books by living authors. I don’t think William Golding needs your dollars right now.

She’s the reason I’m addicted to coffee still even after quitting it twice. I imprinted on her as a teenager and never looked back.

We're three entries in to the DCU, and if James Gunn wants to toss discussions of Nazis, war in the Middle East, and MRAs into his work... Well, he needs to start actually saying something about them: comicbookclublive.com/2025/10/03/j...

James Gunn Is Writing About Nazis, War In The Middle East, And MRAs... So Why Is He Avoiding Saying Anything Significant About Them? | Comic Book Club

In Peacemaker, Superman, and Creature Commandos, James Gunn has touched on societal issues, but hasn't delved into them in any significant way.

One reflection talking to other Jews today is how unshocking this is.

Numbing, upsetting, scary but not shocking. We all knew it was coming. Given the enormous rise in antisemitic incidents in recent years, it's a surprise it hasn't happened more often.

Look, the republicans shutting the government is disastrous and childish. But also im a millennial and they’ve been doing this (or threatening to) like every year since I was in undergrad.
