that is the thing, they just buried their link with their company for decades. It was only recently (less than 10 years ago) that it all came to light in lawsuits that named them as defendants (as opposed to just the company).

As for COP26, I'm Brazilian, so you can imagine how mad I am with all the lies that Brazil's president is spewing...

It left me angry overall, even though I already knew that the pharmaceutical industry is not innocent by any means. But yes, it was a good read :)

Just finished Empire Of Pain

And done with one. Now to see what to pick up next.

I'm plodding along on my books, trying to finish one today

Finished Gods & Monsters

I will not be finishing any books today, as my current read will roll over to the next round and I have a bunch of stuff to do (such as convincing my brain to accept French grammar)

Cat wrote: "Finished Derailed

Tati, if you don't mind saving it for round 2, that'd be great!"

No problems

I'm currently working on Gods & Monsters.

Do you need me to finish it for round 1, or would it be better for it to roll over to the next round?

Off to check my shelves.

I've finished Defy the Night, and picked up Gods & Monsters (I'm not promising to finish that one, though LOL)

So, as we're getting close-ish to the end of this round, are there any letters we should be focusing on?

I'm at the beginning still, so I can't say much about it yet

Finished There with You, moved on to Defy the Night

I've finished my first book, and I'm not sure if it fits the bonus.

There is a wheel on the cover, but it's a symbol, rather than a functional wheel. Would it work?

I thought Ready Player One was bad. I don't understand it's appeal."

Same, I couldn't even finish Ready Player One

That spreadsheet is just amazing!

(trying to figure out the formulas for my own personal use someday LOL)

I can use the spreadsheet, yes.

I don't think I'll be reading the BOM for October (I don't really do horror).

Aaaaaand I still don't know what I'll be reading next week. I blame my moodiness and Turf Wars.

Hey everyone!

Checking in from the other side of the pond (Brazil).

Excited to play with you all!
