Rated Caliban’s War 10/10

Still loving this series. My one quibble is, yes, we get it, Bobbie is bigger than the rest of them. No need to mention it every single time she walks into the room.

Rated Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis 10/10

<div>If you do ANY sort of community work, it's worth reading this, even if what you do is not strictly mutual aid. There's a lot to consider here (yes, even if you've been at this awhile), and it may inspire people to start new projects or work in different ways. The advice and information given is not one-size-fits-all. I like that this comes with a list of further resources, plus a link to a downloadable guide so that, no matter your group, everyone can figure out the best way to meet their goals. I can think of numerous organizations who would benefit from putting these skills into practice.</div>

Rated A Dead Djinn in Cairo 9/10

<div>I really enjoy all the stories set in this alternate Cairo universe.&nbsp;</div>

Rated Actress of a Certain Age: My Twenty-Year Trail to Overnight Success 10/10

<div>Absolutely recommend doing the audiobook version of this because Jeff Hiller reads it himself, and it really adds to the whole experience. It's a realistic and funny view of the hard work involved in acting, no matter what version of it you do — whether it's on a semi-cult HBO show during Peak Pandemic Times or pretending to be a cockroach in Times Square for a day because it pays $500 and has a free lunch. I truly laughed to the point of tears several times, and I remember seeing a few of his commercials back when they aired. The essays are great, but alas, my library audiobook did not come with the PDF of photos. He thanks Kate Dipold at the end, and it reminded me that I hope we get to see more from his character on S2 of Widow's Bay.&nbsp;</div>
