The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence

Thank you for linking this. I read through it all, and as an avid Libby user, what quite disheartened. I just checked to see if my library has any other ebook options, but they don’t.

I just recently read an article about Overdrive and KKR, the company that bought both Overdrive and now this publisher. It was a really disheartening read for what’s happening in the books market.

This is unfortunate. I just bought one a couple months ago but haven’t even opened it yet.

Chinese products. After living there for a decade, I now actively try and avoid buying products made there—or Chinese companies—at the least.

Novik’s Scholomance is finished, and was a pretty fun read. It was a very unique take on magic school.

I had no idea that they even still did this. I assumed it ended years ago. Interesting.

As someone who hasn’t personally done any of these tests but whose relatives (aunts/cousins) have, does anyone know how much of my personal information is now up for sale?

While I agree in my dislike for the current Republican Party, the attitude of blindly voting for your team because the other is evil is exactly what my (late) fox-addicted grandfather used to uphold. I loved the man, but I think we ought to do better and do the hard work of researching every candidate and choosing the best, be it democrat, republican, or independent.

I’m on the same page. The republicans need some feedback that what they’re doing isn’t going to win elections. Unfortunately I think it will take losing several more elections to sink in.
