What’s the feeling in Canada? This guy good enough to win the election?

Trumps just gonna keep him hanging hoping he’s in the inner circle and bleeding him dry in the process.

Both are brilliant!

I didn’t like Prophet Song either. The mother character’s inability to do anything kinda bogged the whole story down for me.

Same for me

I mean games, tv, movies all have some sort of rating system so you don’t really have to spend a lot of time reviewing the content for your kids. Seems like a gap that this doesn’t exist for books.

Beach Read by Emily Henry. Both protagonists are authors.

That is amazing.

That’s why my shoes all wear out so soon now!

This is how Silo started. Just saying.

Good to hear!

For sure, good luck!

The kindle fee is 13.99 aud/month for me which is pricy by my standards. The library however is totally free but it doesn’t have every book I want. So it’s either wait for a physical copy at the library, just buy it outright, or take it off the reading list.

I tried KU for a month or two but I couldn’t find enough good books to read to justify the cost. Instead I just got a digital library subscription and read on my phone/tablet.

Mass produced Knick knacks. Those useless ornaments that just seem to accumulate on bookshelves, fireplaces and cabinets.

I’ve always heard Wodehouse mentioned in the context of other authors like Pratchett and Adams.

What book would you recommend as a good starter?

I have to admit to giving up on the Fifth Season as well but I’m going to make another attempt soon!

110F = 43.33C if anyone else was wondering.

Would the Australian (NSW) laws apply here because that’s where it happened? They updated their sexual consent laws not long ago and their easy reader is pretty clear that a kiss is considered part of that. Not sure how it would be charged under the criminal code: https://dcj.nsw.gov.au/documents/children-and-families/family-domestic-and-sexual-violence/domestic-and-sexual-violence-hotlines/dcj_easy_read_sexual_consent_digital_accessible.pdf

Book 5 is my fave Malazan book! Once you have some time off after finishing the series, a re-read is so satisfying picking up all the clues you missed the first time around. Enjoy!
