Hi, reader friends!
Did you see the article written about Brandon Sanderson this week? It was published in Wired. I hate to even link to it (or give it more views), but it was such a bizarre article. The author of the article went out to Utah to spend several days learning about why Brandon Sanderson is so popular. He stayed in Sanderson's home, met his friends and family, went to his fan convention, and even went with his family to an amusement park. He had pre-conceived notions and a clear intent to uncover dark secrets and write a hit piece on Sanderson, but he got there and found Sanderson is everything everyone claims he is - a hard working guy who loves his family and his company and loves to write. Instead of changing his agenda and writing a real story from all of the insight he should have gained while having all of that personal access, he wound up writing a mean-spirited article with no direction and no point that insulted not only Sanderson and his family but everyone in the Fantasy community.
What I really want to point out is Sanderson's response to the article. He is so very kind and so much can be learned from his response.

Book Lovers by Emily Henry ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I finished Book Lovers shortly after posting last week, and the ending was exactly what I wanted. Book Lovers turned out to be such a good read.

Chlorine by Jade Song - I am about halfway through Chlorine. I am very invested in the characters, but I'm starting to wonder about the promise of "horror" in this debut. Sometimes books that are strange get classified as horror and that's fair here (I guess) since it's being compared to The Vegetarian which falls to that same categorization.
