Introduction -- Why the traditional media no longer serves our needs -- The difference between primary and secondary sources -- How to use links -- Confusing press conventions -- Journalistic techniques that may obfuscate rather than illuminate sources -- Trusting academic sources -- What your local library has to offer in terms of news -- Numbers must be put into context -- Beware of deceptive labeling -- The perils of polling -- Using Wikipedia -- The problem of fake news -- Designing your own newspaper -- Editorial opinions -- How to fight fake news.

Looks interesting. The book is small both in size (will fit in your pocket) and pages (130+). Hoping it is to the point without much filler.

The Brain’s Body by Victoria Pitts-Taylor from Duke

I finished "Big Magic" and am on to "Dharma in Hell: The Prison Writings of Fleet Maull" and "The Girl With Seven Names: Escape from North Korea"

And yes, I have a third book going (fiction) that I am super-enjoying (the twins book I posted about a week or so ago)

Q's Legacy by Helene Hanff, who wrote 84, Charing Cross Road.

I am almost finished with MY ABSOLUTE DARLING by Gabriel Tallent and it is really intense. Every trigger warning possible applies but the quality is high.

Here is npr’s review https://www.npr.org/2017/08/29/54577...er-to-put-down

After rereading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (in preparation for seeing the movie), I realized it wasn’t as clunky as I remembered.. plus, all the eighties references made my middle-aged heart sing. So I started his next one, Armada. Same basic blueprint (video game geek saves the world), with just as many eighties references. Fun read, even if the details are already disappearing from my memory.

I’m ready for another fast and fun YA read. Any suggestions?

"The Hero with a Thousand Faces" Joseph Campbell

Still craving fairy tales, myths and folk tales.
I'm digging deeper into the universal underpinnings I suppose

A Long Way Home - A Boy's Incredible Journey from India to Australia and Back Again by Saroo Brierley.

I recently watched this movie and it made me want to read the book.

The Theif by J.R. Ward... Not impressed but I will finish it regardless.

Susanne Wolff isn’t thrilled when her mother sends her all the way across the country to Freiburg to save her uncle’s stationery store from bankruptcy. Freiburg is too provincial for her taste, and besides, pen and paper are outdated anyway.

Anja Lamm, Paper Love’s only full-time employee, takes an instant dislike to the arrogant, digital-loving snob who’s supposed to be her temporary boss.

If you like journals, diaries, fine writing instruments, and a love story, this book just might be for you!

I'm enjoying it immensely..

The Power of Now, Eckhard Tolle and The Law of Attraction, Esther and Jerry Hicks.

I'm trying to get my vibration right for a certain manifestation.
