The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil: (Includes the 'In Persuasion Nation' collection) | 
pickA super short wacky novella about what can happen when a manipulative egomaniac comes across exactly the right circumstances to put himself in a governmental position of power...
Actually kind of terrifying considering RL right now!
George Saunders did it again! 5⭐️ for me.
pickThis is a funny and entertaining novella. It‘s probably fine for kids too. Saunders also narrates this audiobook, and he‘s a really good narrator. It‘s hard to believe he wrote this in back 2005. This novel is probably more relevant today than when he first released it. Overall rating: 4.11 stars
Spoiled for Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all the Nurturers!
pickThis was actually quite a terrifying little read, given the current political climate here in the US. The sarcastic cow heads were one of my favorite bits.
"Carol was in love with Cal, an Inner Hornerite who resembled a gigantic belt buckle with a blue dot affixed to it, if a gigantic belt buckle with a blue dot affixed to it had been stapled to a tuna fish can." ?
Saw a blurb for this when looking something else up in my public library OPAC. Was intrigued, and now am reading!
