The Land of Short Sentences was a curious little book - short and humorous to a degree.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
An indie musician, a cranky father, a history professor, an Alaskan cruise: it all makes for a funny, moving, heart-warming and uplifting read. The Unsinkable Greta James by Jennifer E. Smith.5★s

Facts and Other Lies: Welcome to the Disinformation Age, by Aussie author Ed Coper, is just as unnerving as you probably gather it is from the title. The current division in many democracies has been caused by bad actors with thousands of automatic bots that set us off down fake rabbit holes. Started with the printing press, escalated to social media.You may be sent one way, while I'm sent another. CLASH! If democracies crumble, guess what happens next?!
5★ My review of Facts and Other LiesIt's long, but I've included a lot of examples from this terrific book.
