I can't tell you how absolutely livid I feel about the fact that, while I'm checking in with Los Angeles friends to make sure they and their homes are safe, certain Republican senators are going on TV and explaining with shitty little grins how LA had it coming and doesn't deserve relief aid.

Thought about it. Did a handful of starters back in my school days. Writing something now would be different, having years of life experience to draw from. I'd probably lean towards mystery, romantic suspense, action, or epic fantasy. #BookishQOTD 📖🦋 #Booksky 💙📚
