A review from Goodreads:
“I do not typically read vampire or fantasy books but I LOVED this book! [snip] The story is told from the point of view of several different characters. Personal relationships and love are highlighted throughout the story. This book far exceeded my expectations and was a joy to read!”

Not sure if anyone else experienced this, but when setting up a closed #pixelfed instance for friends and family, I had an issue with email verification, specifically with #google accounts. When using another account, they worked.
The emails didn't even make it into spam, they seem that they were entirely blocked:(

A lot of Americans get wrapped up in arguing about the phrase "under God" being in the Pledge of Allegiance, when what we should be arguing about is having a loyalty oath at all.
As a kid, this never sat right with me. It felt like something from an Orwell novel, not something people in a free society should be doing.
Even if it is not mandatory, even encouraging kids to do this every morning is fucking creepy. You expect this in a totalitarian state.
