WAR by Bob Woodward
WAR (2024) by Bob Woodward begins with a prologue explaining how his Watergate reporting partner, Carl Bernstein, invited him to join him at a party in 1989. "Trump is here," Bernstein said, telling him it was a fun party and he enjoyed the conversation with Trump. Woodward's conversations at the party quoted Trump as saying he was a great loyalist and that in New York City when inspectors gave him violations (unfounded in his mind on his perfect buildings) for his properties, he would say F**k you, and not pay. He told Woodard it is similar to the Mob; they continue returning for more once you pay.

Rachel Reviews: The Antigen by A.I. Fabler
Fabler's book, the continuance of The Seed of Corruption is a thoughtful book presented as a thriller. His fiction promotes query and discussion, and his well-written narrative reads like an expanded parable, a moral tale which highlights a view that could, if aligned with real world events, promote controversy, scepticism and insecurity. And it's difficult not to read this story and make comparisons to the Covid-19 pandemic and the way that that unfolded globally.

The King Of Elfland's Daughter
Introduction I wrote an example story for my December challenge and found a beautiful song sung by Mary Hopkin to accompany it. When I looked a little further into its source it led me to an album and the book that inspired it. This is a critique of the book and the album with some of the music I can find. Here is the story that has nothing to do with the book or the album, but just so you can see how this started.
