The Book Dragon reviews Breeze Spells and Bridegrooms by Sarah Wallace and SO Callahan which she calls "Bridgerton, but gay and with a dash of fantasy!" and predicts "You’ll leave the book with a lighter heart and maybe some inspiration to follow your passions. Well worth the read."

The @EUCommission launched a campaign to attract #scientists.

Their web page doesn't mention #USA. Still, each sentence of the intro text contains a painful punch in their direction.

I can't decide whether that's brilliant or sad. Probably it's both.

Here it is:

»As a world-leading centre for #research and innovation with #freedom of #science, the #EuropeanUnion offers an ideal environment to advance your career.

With a wealth of stable and predictable funding opportunities and cutting-edge facilities, the #EU enables researchers to work on projects where they can truly make a difference. You’ll join a dynamic and international community of top talent, all dedicated to finding solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.

#Europe offers an excellent quality of life, including affordable healthcare and education, excellent working conditions and strong social security for you and your family. You'll also enjoy freedoms and protections based on our values.«

Ask for help when you need it. It sounds simple, but trying to handle everything without help causes stress and anxiety for a lot people.

Check out Brewed Books' review of Mushroom Blues by Adrian M. Gibson, where she says: "The world building was so immersive. I felt like I was right in there among the spores. And our main characters had such strong voices and such growth.

I would definitely recommend picking this one up!"

Although the scythe isn't pre-eminent among the weapons of war, anyone who has been on the wrong end of, say, a peasants' revolt will know that in skilled hands it is fearsome.
