Elysa is 56% done with The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness

Not what I was expecting, but still has some great insights! Some I've been able to come to on my own with age and separate study. Such as ideas about how much more in control of ourselves we tend to think and how little other people's negative perceptions of you matter.

A great read so far, although it really shouldn't be called a thriller.

Elysa is 26% done with Them: Why We Hate Each Other - and How to Heal

Reading this book in-between meetings this week. It's been on my TBR, but I didn't actually know who the author was. Not until he came in the news under fire because Nebraskans were angry with him for being one of 10 Republican Senators to vote to convict Trump in the February 2021 impeachment trial. He gained some of my respect (despite our political differences), so here we are.

Elysa is 36% done with Thirteen Storeys

I should have expected it, it's literally in the name, but this is a short story collection. Each story focuses on a different protagonist living and the creepy stuff they experience while living in the housing complex.

And here is the best meme:
