Beside T. Kingfisher, the authors I've been reading multiple books by in the past year or two are Victoria Goddard, Lois McMaster Bujold, and Marta Wells.

Call me cynical, I doubt they'll be more effective. Instead they will continue to ignore everyone but the 1%, and rig elections though everything from disenfranchisement (SAVE act), gerrymandering, to outright cheating (see DJT's remarks about Musk & "vote counting computers").

Maybe you can parlay it into a sponsored convention visit.

So if someone was privileged to stay at an all-inclusive resort, offering a diverse set of activities, the report would be deleted?

It is indeed, pick a bunch of books out of the the many they have, put them in a bag, and pay a buck.

You should stock some @dysonlogos.bsky.social maps for the D&D/RPG nerds that wander in to your store.

Not educational, but if you want a break, the Murderbot series by Martha Wells starts with four novellas, about 3-4 hours each. All Systems Red is the first, and on Hoopla.

There are two connected novels (Curse and then Paladin of Souls), then a 2-300 years before novel (The Hallowed Hunt). Plus there's the whole Penric & Desdemona series of novellas that fall in between. Those are great because being shorter, they are quick reads, but there are over of dozen of them.

Love all of those. Would also recommend Lois McMaster Bujold. Start with The Curse of Chalion.
