Now listening to this. Sounds good already.
WOMB CITY imagines a dark and deadly future Botswana, rich with culture and true folklore, which begs the question: how far must one go to destroy the structures of inequality upon which a society was founded? How far must a mother go to save the life of her child? Nelah seems to have it all: wealth, fame, a husband, and a child on the way. But in a body her husband controls via microchip and the tailspin of a loveless marriage, her hopes and dreams come to a devastating halt. A drug-fueled night of celebration ends in a hit-and-run. To dodge a sentencing in a society that favors men, Nelah and her side-piece, Janith Koshal, finish the victim off and bury the body. But the secret claws its way into Nelah's life from the grave. As her victim's vengeful ghost begins exacting a bloody revenge on everyone Nelah holds dear, she'll have to unravel her society's terrible secrets to stop those in power, and become a monster unlike any other to quench the ghost's violent thirst.

Just finished reading Heated Rivalry. Didn't know how much I needed that. Such a great. fast, smutty read. There are other books in the series, but I am not sure how different they would be, considering this was just a LOT of graphic sex scenes. Not a bad thing but might get repetitive.
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A #1 STREAMING SHOW The epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance from Rachel Reid, streaming on Crave in Canada and on HBO Max in the U.S. "The book that got me into hockey romance." —NPR's Weekend Edition Nothing interferes with pro hockey star Shane Hollander’s game. Now that he’s captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won’t let anything jeopardize that—definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate. Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane’s not. The self-proclaimed king of the ice, he’s as cocky as he is talented. No one can beat him—except Shane. Publicly, they’re enemies. Privately, they can’t stop touching each other. The smart thing to do? Walk away, once a few secret hookups turn into a struggle to keep their relationship out of the press. The truth could ruin them both. But for Shane and Ilya, secrecy is soon no longer an option…

Currently reading several books and this is one. It will piss you off but you need to know these things. The big tobacco part is crazy because it is clear big alcohol is doing the same shit right now.
Lies, Incorporated The World of Post-Truth Politics By Ari Rabin-Havt and Media Matters for America A stunning investigation of the history of organized misinformation in politics. In today’s post-truth political landscape, there is a carefully concealed but ever-growing industry of organized misinformation that exists to create and disseminate lies in the service of political agendas. Ari Rabin-Havt and Media Matters for America present a revelatory history of this industry—which they’ve dubbed Lies, Incorporated—and show how it has crippled legislative progress on issues including tobacco regulation, public health care, climate change, gun control, immigration, abortion, and same-sex marriage. Eye-opening and indispensable, Lies, Incorporated takes an unflinching look at the powerful network of politicians and special interest groups that have launched coordinated assaults on the truth to shape American politics.

If somebody is willing to pay money to murder an animal... how do you think they see humans who don't look like them? They're inherently racist. Inherently monsters. Inherently soulless.

Currently reading / listening to this
A young black man calling himself Victor has struck a bargain with federal law enforcement, working as a bounty hunter for the US Marshall Service in exchange for his freedom. He's got plenty of work. In this version of America, slavery continues in four states called "the Hard Four." On the trail of a runaway known as Jackdaw, Victor arrives in Indianapolis knowing that something isn't right--with the case file, with his work, and with the country itself. As he works to infiltrate the local cell of a abolitionist movement called the Underground Airlines, tracking Jackdaw through the back rooms of churches, empty parking garages, hotels, and medical offices, Victor believes he's hot on the trail. But his strange, increasingly uncanny pursuit is complicated by a boss who won't reveal the extraordinary stakes of Jackdaw's case, as well as by a heartbreaking young woman and her child--who may be Victor's salvation. Victor believes himself to be a good man doing bad work, unwilling to give up the freedom he has worked so hard to earn. But in pursuing Jackdaw, Victor discovers secrets at the core of the country's arrangement with the Hard Four, secrets the government will preserve at any cost. Underground Airlines is a ground-breaking novel, a wickedly imaginative thriller, and a story of an America that is more like our own than we'd like to believe.

The translations of the first couple chapters translation, but once I got past could NOT put this book down. A better education system than the one we have would make this required reading in High Schools. Cixin Liu is an immeasurable talent. I wish I could read this in the original language.
The Dark Forest is the second novel in the groundbreaking, Hugo Award-winning series from China's most beloved science fiction author, Cixin Liu. In The Dark Forest, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion-in just four centuries' time. The aliens' human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth's defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.

This is a well-researched, well-written, must read. I blew through most of it early 2025 then lingered on the final 60+ pages until now. So many events during the year were painfully reminiscent of what I was reading, that I needed to wait to get back in the headspace for it. Worth it though.
Hitler's First Hundred Days: When Germans Embraced the Third Reich Peter Fritzsche This unsettling and illuminating history reveals how Germany's fractured republic gave way to the Third Reich, from the formation of the Nazi party to the rise of Hitler. Amid the ravages of economic depression, Germans in the early 1930s were pulled to political extremes both left and right. Then, in the spring of 1933, Germany turned itself inside out, from a deeply divided republic into a one-party dictatorship. In Hitler's First Hundred Days, award-winning historian Peter Fritzsche offers a probing account of the pivotal moments when the majority of Germans seemed, all at once, to join the Nazis to construct the Third Reich. Fritzsche examines the events of the period -- the elections and mass arrests, the bonfires and gunfire, the patriotic rallies and anti-Jewish boycotts -- to understand both the terrifying power the National Socialists exerted over ordinary Germans and the powerful appeal of the new era they promised. Hitler's First Hundred Days is the chilling story of the beginning of the end, when one hundred days inaugurated a new thousand-year Reich.

This is an excellent example of how awful men can be at writing women characters, and just get away with it. No woman in this book behaved realistically. And tbh the lead make behaved like a moron. Anyway it is an easy read, so it can get you through the week if you need it to.

This was disappointing because the author meandered around repetitively for most of the book. There were a few shocking details amidst mostly old information, and then he wraps it up by pointing the finger at the FDA, Democrats, Republicans, & even doctors more than the literal subject of the book.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An explosive, deeply reported exposé of Johnson & Johnson, one of America’s oldest and most trusted pharmaceutical companies—from an award-winning investigative journalist “A damning portrait.”—Associated Press “A page-turning drama that raises life-or-death questions about the world’s largest healthcare conglomerate.”—Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of King: A Life LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD • A CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY AND NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him, who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry—for the Times. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to this book—a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world. Harris takes us light-years away from the company’s image as the child-friendly “baby company” as he uncovers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers multiple disasters: lies and cover-ups regarding the link of Johnson’s Baby Powder to cancer, the surprising dangers of Tylenol, a criminal campaign to sell antipsychotics that have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that actually increases the risk that cancer tumors will grow, and deceptive marketing that accelerated opioid addictions through their product Duragesic (fentanyl) that rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma.

Jordan Edwards, a 15 year old Black child was murdered this way in 2017. Since then, instead of defunding the police, we have given them more money and funded ICE even more than that, to do even more of what we said they've been doing the whole time... exhibits.stanford.edu/saytheirname...
Jordan Edwards was a 15-year-old high-school freshman from Balch Springs, Texas. On April 29, 2017, he was with his brother and friends at a house-party. As the party started to get rowdy, Jordan and his group decided to leave. Just as they were getting into their car to leave, the police showed up. The teens were driving away when an officer attempted to prevent their car from leaving by recklessly firing at the car. The police officer fired multiple shots into the car, shooting Jordan in the back of the head, killing him. Jordan’s mother, Charmaine Edwards, has become a reluctant voice for the need for change in the way police use force, especially with Black men and boys. She is still devastated by the unthinkable murder of her precious, innocent child. “Our family will never be the same. The kids will never be the same,” she said. As is typical, there were discrepancies between the original police account of the incident, which alleged that the vehicle carrying Jordan had backed up aggressively toward the officers, implying the officers were in imminent danger or fear of bodily As is typical, there were discrepancies between the original police account of the incident, which alleged that the vehicle carrying Jordan had backed up aggressively toward the officers, implying the officers were in imminent danger or fear of bodily harm. Predictably, the bodycam video contradicted that police report, clearly showing Jordan’s vehicle was pulling away from the officers. On May 5, 2017, the officer was fired from the department and arrested. A year later, on August 29, 2018, the officer was convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
