Price increases for "things" under Donald Trump:

Coffee is up 26%
Baby strollers are up 25%
Beef is up 14%
School supplies are up 7%
Electricity is up 5%

Car prices are at a RECORD high.

And thanks to Republicans in Congress, health insurance premiums are about to DOUBLE.

#BookReview #LightNovels #TheApothecaryDiaries

Image of The Apothecary Dairies book cover with five stars and text. Text:

Memorable quotes:
“‘Perhaps,’ Gaoshun ventured now, ‘I might ask you to stop regarding Master Jinshi in the same manner in which you might look at a worm.’
Damn. They noticed.”
“‘Women are indeed terrifying,’ Jinshi said now, tucking his hands into his wide sleeves.”
“Having tasted the nectar of heaven, he could never again be satisfied with the tepid offerings of earth.”

Recommend this book: Yes

To whom? Lovers of historical fiction and forbidden/slow burn romance.
"Having tasted the nectar of heaven, he could never again be satisfied with the tepid offerings of earth."
