Dulc Sloan discussed a passage from this novel, focusing on the explicit and sensual descriptions of a romantic encounter. She highlighted the author's skill in making kissing sound sexy.
She moved her hands over the strength of his back, kissing him, flicking her tongue against the edges of his lips, experimenting with the boldness his passion had planted within her while his hands beneath her gown tore lustily.
No man had ever touched her this way.
I love how she was flicking her tongue against the edges of his lips.
Like don't be licking his lips, get that poor man some chap stick.

Dulc Sloan mentioned this novel, praising the author's ability to evoke physical sensations and emotions in her writing about Eva Duncan's escape and subsequent romance. The passage discussed focused on intense physical intimacy.
When Maxwell's other hand made a sensuous journey up the back of one thigh, causing a quaking through the center of her body as he pressed her buttocks to bring her against his distinct hard, masculine form, she finally came to her senses, pulling her mouth away with a gasp and turning completely within the circle of his arms.
How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy
The book details how voter suppression disproportionately affects people of color, dispelling the myth of widespread voter fraud and describing the impact of these suppressive actions. It was discussed as providing details on the systematic removal of people of color from voter rolls, including examples of obstacles created to restrict voting access.
I think it is massive. We have had millions of people blocked from voting. We have had millions purged from the rolls who had been on the voter rolls. The purging and the voter suppression has been so...

The book details how voter suppression disproportionately affects people of color, dispelling the myth of widespread voter fraud and describing the impact of these suppressive actions. It was discussed as providing details on the systematic removal of people of color from voter rolls, including examples of obstacles created to restrict voting access.
I think it is massive. We have had millions of people blocked from voting. We have had millions purged from the rolls who had been on the voter rolls. The purging and the voter suppression has been so intense that we have Donald Trump in the White House right now. That's the power of voter suppression.
There are some really scary parts of the book where I read about things I never knew before. I knew about the larger picture of voter suppression in certain states and certain places.
Absolutely. And that has been a well cultivated myth.
So for instance in Alabama, Alabama said you got to have a government issued photo ID and then said but your public housing ID does not count.
One Person, No Vote is available now.
The Remarkable Memoir of a Jewish Resistance Fighter and Ravensbrück Survivor
It is a book about the author's life as a Jewish resistance fighter and concentration camp survivor in Nazi-occupied Netherlands. The book details her experiences and the importance of remembering the atrocities of the Holocaust.
I didn't think the book was going to be important. I didn't think the book was going to be top of the booksellers list.
— Episode: Selma van de Perre - "My Name Is Selma"
It is a book about the author's life as a Jewish resistance fighter and concentration camp survivor in Nazi-occupied Netherlands. The book details her experiences and the importance of remembering the atrocities of the Holocaust.
I didn't think the book was going to be important. I didn't think the book was going to be top of the booksellers list.
I was very pleased when it was going to be published, but never in my life thought that it was going to be so much read, you know?
I think the reason everybody should read the book and I think the reason so many people have read the book is because not only have you lived an unbelievable life through one of the most unbelievable and horrific times, but what you're teaching people about life beyond that is so important.
I've written the book also in commemoration of all those people who were resistance fighters and lost their lives, helping other people to stay alive.

This is a beautiful book.
So much more than two different rices.
Rice is culture.
The best rice, of course, I'm biased, is Field Trip.
I think it's the most disrespected ingredient. It has tons of history behind it. But it's more than a side dish.

The winning chef whose new book is called Turtle Island, Foods and Traditions of the Indigenous Peoples of North America.
And we're just kind of showcasing because we never want to be stuck in the past, you know. We don't want to... We've been through all this erasure. We've been through all this misunderstanding. But there's so much beauty here. And, you know, there's... You know, the food really kind of speaks for itself.
And, you know, people can experience this philosophy. And we're pushing healthy food because, like, everything in the restaurant is gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, soy-free, pork-free. You know, and it's just because of that's just the philosophy of how we're cooking. And we're normalizing not only indigenous foods but eating healthier, a lot more plant diversity, a lot more protein diversity. And just kind of showcasing what's possible. You know, and plus we're looking at all of North America from Mexico through Alaska, which kind of reflected in this book that we just put out.
No, we're not a museum. Right. You're not trying to eat what they ate back then. Yeah. For me, it's almost like, it's like if Native American culture had been allowed to modernize to today, if it had been allowed to develop, this is the outcome. Absolutely.
The speaker finally finished reading this book after starting and stopping it for ten years, noting it was a real page-turner once they got into it. The book, surprisingly, only covered the single year of 1776, detailing the difficult and chaotic first year of America's fight for independence against the superpower of England.
I read, I recently read, uh, the book 1776 from, um, oh shoot. What's his face? David Mitchell, David, not David Mitchell, David McCullough, David McCullough.

I read, I recently read, uh, the book 1776 from, um, oh shoot. What's his face? David Mitchell, David, not David Mitchell, David McCullough, David McCullough.
1776. It told me 10 years. I, I start and stopped it every, you know, every couple of years. And finally I, I went through the whole thing.
I finished the book and I thought, oh, this is going to cover the whole American revolution. It literally covers one year. 1776. Wow. Okay. The book ends at the end of the year. And that was a crazy ass year for America.
My takeaway from the book was this idea that like, you know, what, what, what is that? 250 years ago in New York city, the people, the concerns of the people in America are totally different to what the concerns are right now.

But matter of fact, it's right here in this book, everybody. Oh, it's just shameless, shameless, shameless plug.
I wrote down in the book, if I quit flight school, I'm going to do what? Number one, get on SNL. Almost 10 years to the day that I wrote that, I got a call from Lauren Michaels asking me to join SNL.
And so it took a drill instructor tone to get me off my butt to go do what I needed to do.
I stood there and I argued with myself and I was like, go, go down to the UCB. It's open, Mike. You do sign up for five minutes. You just work out a character.
Can't Spit and Never Quit is available now. Rod Riggle!
