![]() ![]() ![]() I went into this book not knowing much (that’s generally how I like to go into books these days) and I really enjoyed watching the plot unfold. Yes! This book though chunky by some peoples standards was fast paced and full of “what will happen next?” moments! I literally didn’t want to put it down. Trying to put this book into words literally leaves me like “blahgergerangahallafle!!” I really don’t know how to begin gushing over this book with you all! Perhaps a fair assessment would be to say that since I gave it 5 stars I must have liked it! Well, I do, I love it! It was so much fun! So many unexpected moments occured, and there were so many vibrant characters worth falling in love with!Īnother easy assessment would be to say that given this book was 672 pages long, and I managed to finish it in less than 8hrs – something must have kept me turning those pages. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Things go missing from their house, and when Albert goes down to investigate the terrible smell, he discovers the remains of many tiny animals. ![]() A while after that it becomes clear that Richard Atlee has made himself a nest in Albert and Alice's crawl space. ![]() He spends all day there, and a week or so later turns up again without his truck. ![]() Albert and Alice have retired to the country (in the US) when Richard Atlee comes to check the oil tank in their cellar. This 1971 novel is marketed as horror (just look at the covers) but what I got was a brilliantly written psychological drama about an aging childless couple who take a young man into their home. ![]() ![]() Six weeks later, Abrams came through again: Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock swept a pair of Senate runoffs, defeating two heavily funded incumbent Republicans and handing the party 50-50 control of the Senate. ![]() 3, Joe Biden carried Georgia by scarcely 10,000 votes. It was the kind of hard, detailed political work you can’t perform on Twitter. In the next two years, the voting rights organization she started, Fair Fight, mobilized around 800,000 newly registered voters in Georgia, many of them from Black communities. After Abrams narrowly lost the 2018 Georgia governor’s race to Brian Kemp, in part thanks to restrictive voting laws Kemp had implemented as secretary of State, she set about not to capitalize on her new fame but to fix the problem. ![]() ![]() An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Fair Fight directly registered voters - it mobilized newly registered voters - and mis-stated the last name of the protagonist of “While Justice Sleeps.” It is Keene, not Steele.Ī lot of people on the left feel the same way. ![]() ![]() ![]() After leaving school, she began working in an office, before getting a job at an antique shop in Chancery Lane.
