Book-reading block over! First was a romance, It Started with a Scandal, by Julie Anne Long. Decently entertaining, although I kept thinking it could have been more. There were glimpses of a richer emotional tapestry that weren't quite complete for me.
Then Kiersten White's The Guinevere Deception, which was a FANTASTIC read. Probably marketed in the YA category: young protagonist, the questions of identity. Excellent prose and a compelling premise. What exactly is King Arthur's new wife, if she's not a princess? Can't wait to read the next one--apparently part of a trilogy? I'll have to check, but I believe that's correct.
Excellent article: The United States of Dolly Parton.
Interesting revisit of The Last Jedi and Knives Out now that the sequel trilogy is complete: Reconsidering Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi After Knives Out.
A somewhat political swerve, dating back to 2017: How Jokes Won the Election. Subtitle: How do you fight an enemy who’s just kidding? Still a very relevant question.
