One major problem with mental health facilities in the USA is that most mental hospitals were shut down starting in the 1960s because of leftist activists who said mental patients have a right to be free. So now the USA has psychotics, paranoid schizophrenics, and other mentally disordered wandering the streets. Dr. Paul Dawson

same in UK but that argument was used to just close them to save money and sell off the land for profit, with only mentally disabled people being given small homes and units but mentally ill people having no where to go for respite care. We have a family member who suffers massively and it is all so much worse thanks to the lack of alternative provision for people with mental health issues

Dr. Dawson, you speak the unfortunate truth about our system of care for the mentally ill in our country. This topic of discussion is near to my heart as I can speak from personal experience as well as professional experience in this field. I am glad to hear you speaking out on this. I believe that making some changes to our system can make a huge difference in people's lives toward breaking down barriers to treatment for the severely mentally ill. This is why I have become an advocate, and why I wrote Fragile Minds: An Advocate's Story.
This book is newly released and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fragile-Minds-....

there are many speaking out about it here in UK too - same issue - but the politicians really dont take any notice of it - it is one of those thingsthat most people aren't touched by enough to make them take it seriously

I just finished House of leaves, which was a mindfuck. I loved it, was a tough read, but well worth it.

Now I'm reading Malcolm of Earth. Sci-fi isn't my go-to, but so far it's really good and well written.

[D.B.]

Just finished The Villa by Rachel Hawkins
If houses truly remember, this one could use a case of amnesia.

Just finished The Silent Patient last night. I'm trying to write a review but I'm kinda struggling!

I think I might go with a classic novel next.

[Emma]

I'm currently reading the "A Court of Thorns and Roses" Series and am LOVING IT. I recently finished the 3rd book in the series (A Court of Wings and Ruin), and am now on the novella that kinda wraps up the story told in those first 3. The fourth book changes and makes the MC side characters from the previous books and I am soo excited.

[Nicola]

I'm a third of the way through The Murmer of Bees. I find it rather rambling and I'm not connected to any of the characters in particular. Thinking I may have to give up.

[Catherine]

[Gail]

I'm re-reading "The Real Macaw" by Donna Andrews for about the 20th time.

[J.]

Just finished "The Murders near Mapleton," another Golden Age mystery by Brian Flynn. Pretty underwhelming as mysteries of the era go, though I've found out that there is a sub-genre of Golden Age mysteries known as "cross dressing mysteries" because a plot element involves a key character presenting as someone of the opposite sex.

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called Never Tell Them: A psychological suspense thriller by N.L. Hinkens

A wonderful historic memoir called I've Killed Men. Written by Jack Ganzhorn, it chronicles his life, growing up in southern Arizona, including Tombstone during the Earp time, his work as a scout in the Philippines for the Army, his time as an actor in early Western pictures, and his numerous adventures in between. An amazing look at history!

If you're looking for something to take your mind off the dilemmas of life, like whether a plastic Slinky is as good as a metal one, or whether recycle bins are recyclable, try Small Stories: A Perfectly Absurd Novel, highly recommended by me, probably because I wrote it.
