Some of the essays resonated at 5 star vs some down at 2, hence net 3 rating. Loved “Naked Mole Rats” and “The Falls” most.

Totally agree why should we be corralled into certain genres and 3 for 2 deals when we have no interest in either.
Publishers need to give us credit for intellectual choices.
A plethora of independent authors with interesting story to tell and to engage us into other worlds and dimensions.
