No diagnosis of breast cancer is typical. Each person has their own story, but for Kelly Evans, the experience falls into what her doctor described as very rare.
Kelly first noticed a lump in her breast and thought it might be a spider bite, so she visited the walk-in clinic June 22, 2016. The doctor there knew it was much more than an insect bite and biopsied the lump. Kelly was referred to a physician who confirmed the lump was indeed breast cancer.
After two rounds of the red devil, Kelly had a most unusual experience. Her cancer mass ulcerated and came to the surface. She explained, "I was taking a shower, and the mass just fell out into my hand. I showed the mass to my husband, and we thought it looked like a piece of brown cauliflower. I showed it to the doctor, who confirmed that it was my tumor.
But the treatment for Kelly's breast cancer wasn't over. Breast cancer runs in her family and claimed the life of her niece, who was 31, as well as that of her sister, who was 57 at the time of her death.
Two years have passed, and Kelly's PET scans have all come back negative showing that she has no cancer.
"I have another PET scan in October, and I expect it to be negative, too," said Kelly.
"A lot of people get sick from the chemo and radiation, but I never did. I lost my hair on the red devil, and my fingernails fell out when I had the Taxol. I had 30 rounds of radiation, but my hair grew in thick and curly. I still have the chemo curl," chuckled Kelly.
Kelly feels lucky to have had support from her family and especially from her husband, Jack.
Kelly is paying forward the support and help she received during her treatments. She volunteers helping cancer patients by visiting with them and giving encouragement.

Forest City steps back (or wasn't there in the first place)
Forest City New York continues to divest, as part of a corporate re-focusing and, I suspect, profit-taking. As Crain's New York Business reported 1/29/18, Two Trees buys huge commercial sites in Gowanus : Two Trees is buying one of the properties, a 70,000-square-foot building formerly anchored by a Pathmark grocery store with an attached 100,000-square-foot parking lot, for around $65 million from Hamilton Plaza Associates. It also purchased from Forest City Ratner a long-term ground lease of a neighboring 9-acre property that houses a Lowe's Home Improvement store and its expansive parking lot. It wasn't immediately clear what the company agreed to pay for that site, but several sources with knowledge of both deals put the total transaction above $100 million. Given the location in an Industrial Business Zone, other commercial use, including office or warehouse space, is likely. Forest City has had a 99-year ground lease from the U.S. Postal Service since 2003, a time befor
Yes, Isles will return part-time to Coliseum. The $6M state subsidy is new.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, headlining another triumphant press event, went to the Nassau Coliseum yesterday to announce that the New York Islanders would return there for at least 60 games over the next three seasons--12 next year, and 24 the next two--while the new Belmont arena is being built. That splits the two later seasons with the awkward but suite-rich Barclays Center, which would like the Islanders to leave an arrangement that loses money for the arena, and gives Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, which also operates the Coliseum, a tenant for that venue. Not that the Islanders had great options beyond the downsized Coliseum, which holds just 13,000 for hockey, well below the league minimum (but above current Barclays attendance, last in the league at 12,059 ). The key, as Cuomo hinted at somewhat confusingly in his address, is this statement from the official press release , "New York State will invest $6 million in enhancements at the Coliseum to meet NHL requirement
From the latest Construction Update: track work coming this weekend at railyard
The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning today, January 29, was circulated at 10:57 am today (late) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners. There's not much new compared to the previous update , but there will be weekend track work in the Vanderbilt Yard over the coming weekend, Feb. 3-4. No scope, hours, or noise levels were indicated. Sidewalk on Dean coming Outside the B12 site, west of 550 Vanderbilt along Dean Street, the document states, "The 16 foot fence has been removed. Work related to grading the site will continue. Sidewalk replacement will occur when permits are received." Street paving outside 38 Sixth Outside 38 Sixth Avenue (B3), street paving work "is expected to commence subject to weather," though it was supposed to commence six weeks ago .

Forest City was "bullish" on Atlantic Yards. Greenland's now "bullish" on New York. Is that just bull?
Let's recall a September 2015 quote from MaryAnne Gilmartin, then CEO of Forest City Ratner. "There are very few sites in New York City that offer the density, the access, and neighborhoods, that this site offers," she said of Pacific Park. "So we're bullish on Brooklyn, and super bullish on Pacific Park Brooklyn." If so, as I wrote, that raises the question of why Forest City wasn't willing to hold onto the project in full, but instead sold 70% of the project going forward (minus the Barclays Center and 461 Dean) to Greenland USA. (Obviously, Cleveland--aka parent Forest City Realty Trust, or FCRT--had different priorities.) And now that Forest City New York has announced plans to sell all but 5% of its remaining stake going forward to Greenland, it's way less bullish. Indeed, the conversion of parent Forest City Enterprises into FCRT, a REIT (real estate investment trust) ,means it no longer wants to pursue risky development. And Gilmarti
From CBS: Residents Say Rats Are Running Rampant In Prospect Heights, Brooklyn
From CBS yesterday, Residents Say Rats Are Running Rampant In Prospect Heights, Brooklyn : Rats running rampant in a Brooklyn neighborhood have residents on edge. Now, they're looking for more help to get rid of the rodents. "I'm not talking about 10 or 20; I'm talking four or five hundred of them," resident Jose Barreto told CBS2's Vanessa Murdock. "I've been through a lot in this neighborhood and the rats are the worst." "You hear them screaming every night," he added. Barreto said rats drill through trash cans and have even chewed through wires in his car. Bottom line: some people blame the developer of Pacific Park for not treating empty lots; the developer says it's stepped up its abatement program; Borough President Eric Adams plans to hold a "rat summit."
OK, now a studio at 550 Vanderbilt rents for $2,200. That's 3% more than "affordable."
Would you believe that there's a studio at the condo building 550 Vanderbilt now renting for $2,200? (Is it because of that photo?) That's less than 3% above the price for middle-income studios at the "100% affordable" 535 Carlton down the block. (That said, some one- and two-bedroom units there are less costly than their sticker prices because of a free-month incentive .)
Pacific Park by 2028? Former Forest City executive says project will "take probably about a decade" (I'd bet longer)
Susi Yu says Pacific Park will take another decade to build out Pacific Park says at @92Y . She joked earlier that this is her coming out party — Kathryn Brenzel (@katiebrenzel) January 26, 2018 "It's going to take probably about a decade to build Pacific Park," said former Forest City New York executive Susi Yu at a panel yesterday at the 92nd Street Y, "but once it's done, it's going to be a real asset to the neighborhood." (She's recently moved to former Forest City CEO MaryAnne Gilmartin's new firm, L&L MAG, which has a service contract with Forest City regarding Pacific Park.) That's a rare flash of candor, departing from the developer's general party line, which is that they will meet the 2025 affordable deadline but won't comment otherwise . The developers, in a June 2015 prospectus to 550 Vanderbilt condo buyers, excerpted at right, pointed to a 2025 completion date but noted that the timetable "may be sub
Why did the Greenland-Forest City deal take a year? "Complicated" likely relates to 421-a revision, at least
Some questions linger regarding the recently announced restructuring of Greenland Forest City Partners, in which Forest City Realty Trust will sell all but 5% of its 30% stake in the joint venture to Greenland USA. First, why did the deal, if was decided on in late 2016, take a year or so? I posed that question to Greenland USA's Scott Solish, who, unsurprisingly, was vague. "Things are complicated," he said at the 1/23/18 Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Quality of Life meeting . "Things take time." Forest City's former veto Sure, but let's recap. Forest City Realty Trust, in an 11/3/16 bombshell announcement , said it would delay future development on the site, with no timetable stated . At that point, though Forest City owned a minority stake in the project, it had effective veto power over new building starts. That veto power related to the board structure of Greenland Forest City Partners. In March 2014, Forest City told the SEC: .
Uh-oh: MTA Chairman Lhota expresses concern about LIRR upgrade for Belmont; cost still unknown
So, Newsday's Jim Baumbach reports, in MTA chairman 'concerned' about expanding LIRR service to Islanders' arena at Belmont Park : [MTA Chairman Joe] Lhota, testifying before a state budget hearing in Albany, said two obstacles include the design of the current Belmont spur off the main line and their inability to add more trains during the evening rush hour when most Islanders fans would be traveling to weeknight games. "We're at capacity on the main line during rush hour, and so we're going to have to look at that and weigh that in," Lhota said under questioning by state Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach). "I'm concerned about how that's going to all fit in at any one particular point in time." Also, the current service only works for trains coming from the west, such as Jamaica, which doesn't work for most Long Islanders, situated to the east. The MTA is doing a study of the cost of upgrades. This adds a huge question mark regarding the public cost of the plan to build a
BS&E reportedly pressuring Islanders to play more games, and sooner, at Nassau Coliseum
With just a few days to go before the January 30 date to decide on the New York Islanders' lease at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, operators of Barclays and the Nassau Coliseum, is reportedly pressuring the team to play more games in Nassau, not just in the fifth season, but next year too (which was previously expected to be solely at Barclays). That would give the Coliseum, which has no anchor tenant, more guaranteed dates for a couple of years, and closer to the team's historic fan base--even though it's been downsized and has few luxury suites. Newsday's Jim Baumbach reported 1/23/18 Sources: Islanders close to deal to play some games at Coliseum ; The Islanders are expected to play 12 games at the renovated Coliseum next season and — if all goes well with those games — they expect to play about half of their regular season schedules in the other remaining years prior to moving to Belmont, the sources said. That would be two more
At community meeting, restructuring called win-win; longstanding liaison gone; L&L MAG role questioned; a major irony noted
There wasn't huge news at last night's bi-monthly Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Quality of Life meeting, but the big-picture highlights, described below, include: the project restructuring was called a win-win the longstanding Community Liaison Officer is gone, but the function continues new firm L&L MAG's role is confusing (to me, at least) a resident pointed out the irony of a Russian oligarch and Shanghai government-owned company controlling the project (Also see coverage of specific project updates .) The Greenland Forest City restructuring As with press releases and previous statements, representatives of the companies that restructured their deal last week called it good news. The divestment by Forest City Realty Trust—from 30% to 5% going forward—is consistent with their strategic plan to reduce their development portfolio, said longtime Forest City New York spokeswoman Ashley Cotton, who now works for the new firm formed by former Forest City New York CEO Mar
At community meeting, open space by February; improved site maintenance; school on hold; landlord won't allow 4 am Mekelburg's
There wasn't huge news at last night's bi-monthly Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Quality of Life meeting, but here are the specific project updates, described below: open space outside 550 Vanderbilt should be open by February site maintenance has improved there are no plans yet for the tower including a school Mekelburg's aiming for 535 Carlton, may seek a liquor license allowing service until 4 am but the landlord won't allow it the Barclays Center has a new hotline if the oculus doesn't shut down on time (Also see coverage of big-picture issues .) Project update: open space Ashley Cotton of L&L MAG, which represents Forest City (and says she speaks for the joint venture Greenland Forest City Partners), said that open space planned outside 550 Vanderbilt is finished, but not yet open because of safety issues regarding final work on the building. "I was told February, today," she said of the new goal. (Previously, the goal was the end of 2017.) On Dean S
State "mitigation matrix" reveals quarterly project monitoring, but could use more transparency; details 215 construction workers, two-year contract for school buildout, misleading number of affordable units
Given the tight fit of Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park, a 22-acre site nudging into an existing community, the margin for error is small. Neighbors regularly express concern about incursions from construction or arena operations, even as state overseers point out that the project is monitored more than most. That--and the oversight under questions--should be a topic at tonight's bi-monthly Atlantic Yards Quality of Life meeting , at 6 pm, at 55 Hanson Place. And one issue may be the need to regularly make public a quarterly document that details the project's compliance with environmental commitments. (The obligations are listed in a 2014 Second Amended Memorandum of Environmental Commitments , issued by Empire State Development, or ESD, the state authority that oversees and shepherds the project.) Discussion at the AY CDC: need for transparency At the 1/17/18 meeting of the advisory Atlantic Yards Community Development Corporation (AY CDC), departing board member Jaime Ste
In 2018, keep watch on not just B4 tower plan but also 615 Dean (no longer condos?)
A post 1/16/18 on the pro-development blog New York YIMBY, accompanying a new rendering of the fully built-out Pacific Park project and highlighting the giant tower planned for Site 5, declared that "all of the structures are within the allowable existing scope of the site." Not so. Unwitting readers of New York YIMBY might think developer Greenland Forest City Partners--to be owned 95% by Greenland USA going forward--could just build when it's got the money (and, in the case of Site 5, when legal challenges from P.C. Richard that delay condemnation are resolved). But building a giant project at Site 5, potentially two towers and 785 feet , requires Empire State Development to approve a shift in bulk from the unbuilt office tower (B1, aka "Miss Brooklyn") over the arena plaza. And that process hasn't begun. (Both I and resident Peter Krashes posted comments to that effect, which were published, yet the post wasn't corrected.) In 20

The passing of David Sheets, Dean Street renter, former Freddy's bartender, eminent domain plaintiff, and singular personality
2009 photo: Tracy Collins David Sheets, longtime Dean Street renter, Freddy's bartender, eminent domain plaintiff, and singular personality, died 1/17/18 in HCA Greenview Hospital in Bowling Green, KY. He was 56. There are obituary notices in the Bowling Green Daily News and the Wichita Eagle , which state: He was born in Wichita, KS where he attended public Schools and Wichita State University. He lived for many years in Brooklyn, NY, and was employed as a legal assistant. David's hobby was cartography and had an avid interest in Mass Transit Systems of the world. David was predeceased by his father, Kenneth E. Sheets. He is survived by his mother, Wilma Smith, step-brother, Billy Ray Smith and his wife, Jane all of Bowling Green; step-sister, Ellen Smith Alexander and her husband, Jerry of Bella Vista, AR; several cousins and step-nieces and step-nephews also survive.

Unbundling Social Media: A Taxonomy of Problem Areas
TweetLinkedInEmail
It is rare that the enthusiasm of technologists for open protocols and interoperability aligns with the interests of scholars that publish in the Journal of Democracy. But in the last few months, those concerned about the role of behemoth technology firms in shaping the information ecosystem have advanced an important dialogue about the future of social media. Interest is growing in a set of ideas that regard the scale of the current platforms as dangerous to democracy and propose that one way to address the danger is to "unbundle" social media into distinct functions to separate the basic network layer of the content from the higher level of content curation.
These ideas offer an alternative vision of what social media can be and how its functions can be delivered in a way that is congruent with democracy. As an early proponent of these ideas, I have summarized recent scholarly contributions to this dialogue, building on a longer commentary on these ideas I published earlier in Tech Policy Press. But applying such a radical rethink of the social media ecosystem will require thinkers from a variety of disciplines to work together on a range of issues.
Synthesizing the debate with respect to the key subject areas proposed by Daphne Keller, Director of the Program on Platform Regulation at Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center, here are five that must be addressed for any solution to succeed:
Speech.
Protecting freedom of speech and expression while limiting harm is a prime argument for unbundling control of content curation from today's platforms. Content curation by a dominant platform, even if regulated by governments or a pseudo-independent authority like the Facebook Oversight Board, is inherently authoritarian. Unbundling content curation and algorithmic filtering away from the network layer of social media may not directly do much to control the harms of abusive speech. But done well, it might decouple the perverse incentives of ad models that drive engagement rather than value, and permit a reduction in the scale of today's content curation regimes. It would also remedy the inherently undemocratic nature of "platform law."
Whether such a decoupling would produce more filter bubbles or echo chambers is an open question. But there seems a strong case that fragmenting curation and algorithmic filtering might contain the worst harms of disinformation, harassment and other negative phenomena that seem to emerge as a function of the current model. Study and experimentation may clarify how best to reduce those concerns using the other means that some of the debating authors have proposed- without unacceptably restricting speech rights.
Business models.
Most of the voices engaged in this debate view the advertising business model of today's social media platforms as a central issue and current driver of harm. My own work had proposed shifting away from perverse incentives of advertising as a potential remedy, based on innovations in consumer-based revenue. Unbundling may open up more opportunities to shift the revenue model for social media away from advertising.
But simply introducing some mechanism to share ad revenue to fund filtering services- as Francis Fukuyama suggests– could provide at least a partial decoupling, much as the traditional separation of publisher and editorial functions does in traditional news media businesses. If there are a multitude of filtering services, and advertising revenue shares are tied to some metric other than the engagement contribution of a given filtering service (such as monthly active users), the motivation to filter for engagement would be very much diluted. Absent the unbundling of filtering, shifting from targeted to contextual ads (as Natalie Maréchal prioritizes) would potentially reduce data and privacy abuses, but it is not clear that it would significantly reduce incentives to filter for engagement rather than for user value, nor would it remedy the inherently undemocratic nature of platform law. These alternative models will need to be tested.
In her consideration of these ideas, Marechal gives primacy to the abuses of "surveillance capitalism." I suggest this concern be narrowed to focus more specifically on the harms of "attention capitalism." In this context, that means requiring that users be enabled to opt in (or not) and be compensated for their data and attention at rates they accept (another matter of business model innovation that I have proposed). More broadly, that means focusing controls on the uses of data in a way that does not preclude realizing the social value to be obtained from personal data when properly used.
The right to privacy and the ownership of all facts relating to us is contingent and has limits. Cory Doctorow provides excellent analysis in the context of social media and our "epistemological crisis," and Stefaan Verhulst explains how data is a non-rivalrous public good that cannot be owned and gains value from sharing. Consumer rights relate to how data about ourselves is used. Fukuyama's group seems to have in mind less access to personal data, but my view is that these services need to at least have access to the key metadata on information sharing flows. That metadata is as important as the content itself — much as law enforcement often uses telephonic metadata on calls without access to the content of those calls. The metadata can be enough to be able to infer the value of content items- much as Google's algorithms use metadata to infer from implicit human judgments of Web page quality.
Competition and interoperability.
Competition and innovation are central to Fukuyama's arguments. Of course, both can be poorly regulated, allowing abuses, harmful externalities, and recklessly moving fast and breaking things, as Marechal alludes to. The Fukuyama group points to the need for a specialized regulatory agency to manage the complex and evolving issues here, as do I.
There seems to be broad agreement that interoperability is desirable, but this can be done at many levels in many ways, and the devil will be in the details. This is where an expert regulatory agency is likely most needed — to ensure a desirable level of openness. Interoperability is best understood in the context of the broader proposals for modularizing social media and deconstructing current platforms, such as by Jack Dorsey, Stephen Wolfram, Mike Masnick, Cory Doctorow, and Ethan Zuckerman, among others. There are strong arguments for a broader functional modularization and interoperability to maximize consumer choice and to unleash innovation in this still embryonic technology and how society applies it.
Technological feasibility.
Is all of this possible? The technology itself is well within reach- and many equally complex interoperable systems have been deployed in recent decades in such demanding and dynamic fields as fintech and, closest to home, the Internet search/advertising/commerce complex. Hated as it may be, the auctioning, serving, and tracking of Web advertising is a marvel of highly dynamic and extensible interoperability with strict real-time constraints.
Specifics will depend on where we want the functional separations to be (each of the proponents has slightly different ideas and Fukuyama described his group's as a moving target), with what technical approach (middleware APIs, protocols, and adversarial interoperability among others). I see the core function of filtering services as upranking and downranking candidate items — and doing that in such a way that multiple user-selected filters (and perhaps some mandated filters) can be combined to yield a composite ranking that is used to produce each user's feed.
A critical aspect of technological feasibility relates to content curation and its cost. Current methods of curation are hopelessly labor intensive – with the impossible burden of serving billions of masters in hundreds of countries at once. But the strategies I have detailed elsewhere promise to work much like Web search relevance filters- to serve in real time as a cognitive immune system. These strategies draw on and augment crowdsourced wisdom, which has been shown to be nearly as effective as experts in judging the quality of social media content.
In conclusion, this debate makes it clear there are no easy solutions to the problem of managing online discourse in a democracy, but does suggest a path forward. Our mismanaged start down the recklessly exploitive path that has produced today's social media industry has made this a crisis, muddied the waters, and damaged our ability to collaborate on a solution. It is time to rank this as a "crisis discipline" and begin a whole-of-society attack on these problems. More people need to join this urgent dialogue to reinvent a social media industry that advances democracy.

Rendering Redux is a weekly examination of architectural rendering practices on Architizer. While many architects evaluate these images based on sheer effect, we take a more humorous approach, documenting the inconsistencies and incongruous scale figures that populate the architectural imagination. Each week, we take a look at a different project, decoding its renderings so you don't have to.
This week takes us to Baku White City, a proposed master plan for the capital of Azerbaijan. Baku White City gets its name from an aspired-to reversal of destiny; the development is slated to replace a district formerly known as the "Black City" due to its industrial buildings.
While at first glance the proposed buildings look adventurous, a lot of its forms come directly out of the new-hyper-capitalist-development playbook. Baku White City has some pretty hefty firms as partners, including Atkins, Foster + Partners, and F+A Architects, which certainly helps add some seriousness to the proposal. Nonetheless, renderings found on BWC's website betray a bit more shakiness. In the image above, it is a feat to get such reflectivity in a rendering, yet the glare off of that surface will be intense. Maybe that's why that couple on the bench in the foreground is not having a good time.
Does Baku, a truly great world city, deserve more? See our full analysis of the bizarre images.

As their children return home for Christmas – Clem, the college student full of moral absolutism; Becky, the homecoming queen turned counterculture hippie; and Perry, the drug-dealing high schooler sworn to be better – the complications of their interactions are told in a way only Jonathan Franzen can.
Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World
In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, two boys fell in love in a border town. Now in the long-awaited sequel, Ari and Dante are in their senior year. Being with Dante has pushed Ari to make new friends and stand up to bullies. But a loss will force Ari to fight for the life he truly wants even if the world around him doesn't understand.

Reese Witherspoon October Book Club
Chibundu Onuzo
Feeling lost in her 40s, Anna feels lost now that her daughter is grown up and her mother is dead. Going through her mother's things, Anna finds some clues to the identity of her African father she never knew. Surprisingly, Anna discovers he became the leader (or dictator, depending on whom you talk to) of a small African country and is still alive today.
Exciting New October 2021 Book Releases
In the conclusion of her bestselling Tattooist of Auschwitz trilogy, Heather Morris tells the true story of three Slovakian sisters who promised to stay together, no matter what. When fifteen-year-old Livia is sent to Auschwitz, her oldest sister Cibi volunteers to join her to protect her. Later, Magda is also sent to Auschwitz, where they fight to survive the unbearable horrors and eventually move to Israel hoping to find freedom.
The Judge's List
After taking on a criminal syndicate that was paying off a federal judge in The Whistler, Florida Board of Judicial Conduct investigator Lacy Stoltz returns in Grisham's latest thriller. In her latest case, the crimes are even worse than before. Instead of taking bribes, a corrupt judge is taking lives with his own hit list.
Oh William!
In the third book of the Amgash series, writer Lucy Barton returns in this in-depth look at the mysteries of marriage. Although they've been divorced for years, Lucy and her ex-husband William have remained close. He's always been a closed book to her, so she is surprised when he asks her to join him on a trip to explore a recently uncovered family secret that changes how they view those closest to them.
Last Girl Ghosted
Wren met Adam on a dating app. But what starts as a quick hook-up quickly turns to something more. Which is why Wren is shocked when Adam ghosts her. As Wren investigates, she learns that she is not the only woman Adam has ghosted. The more she digs the more obsessive she becomes, blurring the lines between predator and prey.
Sleepless
After serving a prison sentence for a cruel crime, Nadja Kulka wants nothing more than a quiet, ordinary life. When Laura, Nadja's friend and the wife of her boss, kills her lover, Nadja finds herself dragged into covering it up. As the plan to bury the body in the woods falls apart, Nadja realizes she has unwittingly set herself up as the perfect scapegoat for the murder.
After loving the uber-creepy Dear Child last fall, I was ecstatic to read Hausmann's latest. I shouldn't have been because it was the most confusing book I read all year. Nadja's story is interspersed with a past timeline of a man having an affair and letters from an unknown sender. It took about 100 pages for the stories to make even an ounce of sense, but by then I was completely put off. It pains me to say it, but avoid avoid avoid is my advice.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Flatiron Books. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
My Rating: DNF
Once Upon a Wardrobe
When her terminally ill brother asks her to find out where Narnia come from, Megs Devonshire, a mathematics student, strikes up a friendship with author C. S. Lewis. All she wants is a straight answer, but instead, he tells her tales of his life, stories that teach her to move beyond logic and begin to hope.
Patti Callahan was smart to write about C. S. Lewis's life in vignettes, hitting the interesting details and using the story of Megs and her brother George to carry the reader's interest. The story lacked depth, never rising above sweet, with little character development and plenty of clichés. Ideal for a nice cozy read that is enjoyable without being too emotional.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harper Muse. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
These Silent Woods
Kimi Cunningham Grant
Ever since she was a baby, eight-year-old Finch and her father Cooper have lived in isolation in the remote Appalachian mountains. Cooper is in hiding from his past, and other than a mysterious neighbor, their only visitor is Jacob, who brings them supplies once a year. When Jacob fails to show, Cooper must break their isolation, with disastrous results.
Almost nothing actually happens in the glacially slow plot of These Silent Woods. Although the mystery has a bit of suspense, it takes over half of the book for the action to even begin. With a religious spin and endless descriptions of nature, the book is definitely more contemporary fiction than thriller.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Thursday is the New Friday
Joe Sanok
I am a sucker for any and all business and productivity books, so I was intrigued by Joe Sanok's promise to help you create the schedule you want. Constant hustling will just lead to burnout, and Sanok is dead on that you need to combine rest and slow down with focused sprints to be your most productive and happier.
Unfortunately, Sanok is a terrible storyteller, miserably failing to connect his personal anecdotes into larger concepts and completely lacking in transitions between anything – topics, chapters, even paragraphs. The occasional pieces of decent advice are obscured by boring scientific statements, pointless tangents, and cliché personality tests. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.

Just placed my BOTM order for The Lincoln Highway and Sankofa!
Will try and squeeze in a book before those arrive.
I have a copy of The Secret History I got last month & currently reading Forever Young, by Hayley Mills! I just love her & so far the book is great I love her cheeky sense of humor. So cool reading her story!
Well shoot! I hit "go" by accident, so I'll post again??
I just placed my order with BOTM for The Lincoln Highway (ReadwithJenna's pick) and Sankofa (Reese's pick).
I think the Reese's readers were hoping for a Witchy read for October.
My local library did not have Sankofa, so was glad I was able to get that as my add on.
Will try & read a book before those arrive. I have The Secret History from last month.
Currently reading Forever Young. This is Hayley Mills bio y'all! I am such a fan and so far the book is so good.
I am anxiously awaiting Broken Pots by Heather Tucker. I read Clay Girl and it was super good!
Looking forward to The Judge's List and The Lincoln Highway. Just finished Project Hail Mary and currently reading Apples Never Fall.
So many books, so little time!!

In Reply We appreciate the thoughtful response to our article by Kailas and Rigel. We acknowledge that our article omitted key statistics, including those on Native American/Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders, and thank the authors for pointing these out. It was not our intention to exclude the many underrepresented groups within our specialty through lack of mention; indeed, we fully support ongoing efforts to better characterize our specialty with respect to race and ethnicity as well as other individual characteristics including and not limited to socioeconomic status, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, immigration status, and international medical graduate status. We share the conviction of Kailas and Rigel that improved understanding and continued recognition of these disparities in representation between underrepresented minority groups in dermatology and the general population will further strengthen the argument that a call to action is needed.
