Second slow & steady read for the completed! I read The Count of Monte Cristo in high school & wanted to reread it. A worthwhile endeavor but I won’t reread it again. Love a good revenge story, but no need to re-engage with Dumas’s views on women #booksky

This book isn’t getting the attention it deserves. The Museum Detective propulsive & smart with stand-out characters. For fans of The Librarians, Indiana Jones or the Da Vinci Code. I hope we get more of Dr. Gul Delani & her merry band of rogue museum staff #booksky

The USDA is unfreezing clean energy money — but ‘inviting’ grant recipients to remove DEI and climate language. The agency is finally moving on getting gridlocked money to farmers. But at what cost? grist.org/food-and-agr... #DEI #Farms #Farmers #Energy #Renewables

Thanks to @barnraiser.bsky.social for their reporting on USDA banning words like "clean water," "rural water," & "agricultural water" from the Agricultural Research Service. We can't say clean water anymore? What's going on here USDA? barnraisingmedia.com/usda-leaked-...

If you like fantasy, pick up Jade City by Fonda Lee. It’s the first in her Green Bones series, published in 2017. It’s like a kung fu movie married to the mafia. It’s so good, lots of action, complicated characters. #booksky
