1. A grateful salute to all who served. Now put Withcraft for Wayward Girls on my TBR list.

The Displacements by Bruce Holsinger, is a great read, loved it, Highly recommend. Great characters and story of events leading to, during, and aftermath of a Cat 6 Hurricane, entirely too likely. All the feels, goodies, baddies, information, contrition, redemption. There's a game in this that the kids play, never got all the rules, but sure wanted to play!

Reading There There, author Tommy Orange, best seller. "As we learn the reasons that each person is attending the Big Oakland Powwow - some generous, some fearful, some joyful, some violent - momentum builds toward a shocking yet inevitable conclusion that changes everything. Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life back together after his uncle's death and has come to work at the powwow to honor his uncle's memory. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil, who has taught himself traditional Indian dance through YouTube videos and will perform in public for the very first time. There will be glorious communion, and a spectacle of sacred tradition and pageantry. And there will be sacrifice, and heroism, and loss."
