Dear #bookstodon I'm looking for #mystery books for my aunt who recently was released from the hospital. She's currently reading books by James Lee Burke, when she feels up to it. You suggest, I'll buy em for her.
E-books, preferred, so she can adjust font size. Many thanks in advance! ♥️

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
