The Book Nook

Battle of the Clans   “Jade City” by Fonda Lee combines the author’s experience as a corporate strategist and black-belt martial artist with her interest in comic books and action movies.  The result is an eclectic yet well-organized mix of action and world building anchored by strong family relationships.

A View of the Valley

by Linda Schwanke Your house is on fire so you call 911 as quickly as your shaking fingers can press the buttons. “Best I can do is send a couple guys next Tuesday. We don’t have the budget to get there any sooner,” you are told. Wait, what? Get a grip – you need help now.

Nature and Society: Me Too movement

Anyone who uses intimidation or force to solicit sexual favors should face severe consequences.

Letter: Be careful in choice of words

Last week near Atlanta, Georgia, Robert Long shot and killed eight women. He claimed he wasn’t racist, but facts don’t lie. Six of the women were Asian American. He had driven past many other businesses to get to the spas where the women worked.

The Book Nook

Beautiful Drama   Reading “The Lives of Edie Pritchard” by Larry Watson reminded me of the quote “Beauty is a curse”.  While many express a desire to be beautiful, few would want to be defined only by that quality, which is one of the themes explored in this tension-filled look at identity and violence in a well-described setting.

Gerrymandering - a weird word that names an even weirder practice, one that has never seemed to me like it should be legal. Gerrymander definition: To divide a state etc. into election districts to give one party UNFAIR advantage in elections.
