If Rowling's smug demeanor is unsettling in a way you can't quite put your finger on, it's because she's not reveling in a win for her cause. She's reveling in the loss of others.

I don't mind cheesy romance subplots, but years of therapy is ruining it for me. No, blessed author, that is not romantic. That is a trauma response to controlling behavior masquerading as concern.

Brandon Sanderson out here just releasing 62 hour therapy/self-help audiobooks disguised as utterly captivating sci-fi/fantasy fiction.

Well, I'm not going to make my goal of finishing Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth before the New Year. To be fair, **63 hours** of audio book listening can be difficult to complete in a month. I remember 10 days ago when I looked down after days of listening and went "Welp, still 28 hours to go."
