Just bought Cross Fire by @fondalee.bsky.social on sale for $1.99 from Google Play books. For how much I loved the Green Bone saga, there was no good excuse for this book to be missing from my library. Can't wait to read it!

When Animorphs ended, fans were vocal about how they didn't like the depressing ending. K.A. Applegate responded with amongst the most brutal letters I've read. It takes a generational talent to tell your fans "If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad."

I really, really do not talk about the RWA thing a lot, and unless you were there before people knew what the RWA thing was, you probably don’t know this part of the story. (Everyone in Romancelandia probably already knows this part of the story.)

In warm climates, even relatively dry air can hold a lot of water - and a recently developed solar-powered hydropanel can extract it. One panel costs ~$2,000, should last at least 15 years, and can provide 4-5 L of drinking water per day. #ShareGoodNewsToo t.co/TPhGJZiV1j
