Most people over the age of sixty-five who have underlying health conditions feel like the coronavirus has painted a huge bullseye on their backs, which can be depressing. Lockdown and self-isolation can have the same effect. "Our Coronavirus Diary" is a humorous look into the mind-set of a couple of women of a certain age, forced into lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is another brain fart from the authors of "Over-Sixty: Shades of Gray" and is meant solely to entertain you during trying times. We use humor to knock the virus down to size, so we can deal with our fears more easily. And if we should chuckle, at our age, it's always good to wear protection. Views: 250

Meet the smart, sexy — supernatural — women of the otherworld. This is not your mother’s coven...
Kelley Armstrong returns with the eagerly awaited follow-up to Dime Store Magic. Paige Winterbourne, a headstrong young woman haunted by a dark legacy, is now put to the ultimate test as she fights to save innocents from the most insidious evil of all.. . .
In the aftermath of her mother’s murder, Paige broke with the elite, ultraconservative American Coven of Witches. Now her goal is to start a new Coven for a new generation. But while Paige pitches her vision to uptight thirty-something witches in business suits, a more urgent matter commands her attention.
Someone is murdering the teenage offspring of the underworld’s most influential Cabals — a circle of families that makes the mob look like amateurs. And none is more powerful than the Cortez Cabal, a faction Paige is intimately acquainted with. Lucas Cortez, the rebel son and unwilling heir, is none other than her boyfriend. But love isn’t blind, and Paige has her eyes wide open as she is drawn into a hunt for an unnatural-born killer. Pitted against shamans, demons, and goons, it’s a battle chilling enough to make a wild young woman grow up in a hurry. If she gets the chance. Views: 250
