I finally made the break from Goodreads. I read an assortment of genres. I review every book I read. Good. Bad. DNF.

When a person believes that a 79-year-old felon with 34 convictions, six bankruptcies, a love for dictators, and imaginary “bone spurs” will lead this nation to greatness, it is a clear indication that the individual has profound psychological problems. In other words, they are batshit crazy.

Middle Ground by Adria Carmichael
#politicalfiction
@adria-carmichael.bsky.social
Review in the comments
Book cover with protest in middle of street. Flags from both progressive and conservative sizes. Cover set in sea of dark clouds. A line of 5 yellow stars in the sea of clouds On cover: Can a country at war with itself ever find MIDDLE GROUND ADRIA CARMICHAEL A crumbling democracy torn apart by political polarization, the news replaces by propaganda, social media flooded with vici7trolls, people losing access to health care, the political leadership owned by major corporations and special interest groups, rampant corruption on every possible level, life-shattering cancel culture on either side of the spectrum, hate crimes against minorities... And an unsuspecting nurse caught in the middle of it all.

Find a cool product on Amazon? That company exists OFF Amazon, too. 1) Google company name. 2) Order from their site. 2a) Can usually find a 10% code! 3) Still get product in 2-8 days. 4) Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon. 5) You avoid giving money to Bezos.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.
