/... As the publication date approaches, consider supporting your local independent bookstore by pre-ordering @sarahkendzior& #39;s HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. (She saw, and warned, about what too many denied or wouldn& #39;t say.) Read this to whet your appetite. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-plague-of-donald-trump/">https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/a...
/a ... A slightly different take: @betchesluvthis makes a compelling case for recorded/audio books and asserts that @sarahkendzior& #39;s HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, read by, ... wait for it ... @sarahkendzior ... will blow your mind. https://betches.com/15-audiobooks-to-get-you-through-quarantine/">https://betches.com/15-audiob...
