Here's a conundrum to consider: You aren't supposed to keep your phone in your pocket, jeans or shirt, men or women, but it's okay to sit in an electric car, including while it's charging. It's the same electricity. How does that work?

56. The Emperor's Armor (Magic and Miracles: A Multi-Author Charity Anthology) by Adam Berg. A darker, more magical variation on the Emperor's new clothes.
57. The Rumpled Gentleman: A Retelling of Rumpelstiltskin (Magic and Miracles: A Multi-Author Charity Anthology) by Sally B. Horn. Paranormal, with magic, elves, fey creatures set in Regency England.
58. Making Magic (Magic and Miracles: A Multi-Author Charity Anthology) by Rebecca Connolly contemporary romance in first person. I'm not a fan of first person, but the end was satisfying. I like other stories by this author.
59. On Broken Glass (Magic and Miracles: A Multi-Author Charity Anthology) by Serene Heiner contemporary romance with a little bit of magic. Delightful fun. I'd like to try another story by this author.
60. Carter Goodwyn's Fairy Godmother (Magic and Miracles: A Multi-Author Charity Anthology) by Krista Jensen fantasy with a touch of romance. Difficult start as the villains are truly villainous, but it didn't take long for me to not be able to put it down.

If you're okay with destroying the earth to mine for the minerals needed for electric cars, maybe you'll have a problem with not being able to recycle the battery in your electric car. Or maybe the fact that your electric car goes through tires faster, a lot faster, because your car is heavier, a lot heavier. Recycling a gas car is easier, a lot easier, and the tires last longer, a lot longer. Learn the facts not the hype.
Rule #1: Stop lying, especially to yourself.

51. Operation Hero's Watch (Cutter's Code series book 10) by Justine Davis suspense romance. Yes, I've read it before. The author posted an old interview with the hero, and I couldn't resist rereading the story.
52. Spiritual Wholeness by Staci Stallings nonfiction.
53. Manor for Sale, Baron Included (Romance of Rank series Book 1) by Esther Hatch historical rom-com. Amusing.
54. An Unexpected Miracle (Magic and Miracles: A Multi-Author Charity Anthology) by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary. A Senior on the swim team is off the team because of academic ineligibility, but his coach is determined to help him, if he's willing to do the work. Loved it.
55. Worth the Wait (Magic and Miracles: A Multi-Author Charity Anthology) by Nancy Campbell Allen Steampunk romance. I can count on one hand the number of Steampunk I've read. I enjoyed this one.

What kind of insanity demands buying an electric car and not using A/C during summer to ease the burden on the electric grid? Please, trying living in a desert, with temperatures soaring into the 110+ range and then say that A/C is a luxury. Hypocrisy: Demanding tolerance while refusing to offer it.

46. Among Heroes: A U.S. Navy SEAL's True Story of Friendship, Heroism, and the Ultimate Sacrifice by Brandon Webb with John David Mann nonfiction. Some of the stories I knew from following the events at the time. Others, I've read in other books. Adding this book to my keeper list.

48. Chance for Home (Chances series Book 2) by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary romance.
49. A Change of Fortune by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary romance. This is a truly a stand alone. However, if you've read the Chances series, you'll be familiar with some of the locations. This books changed my perspective on my finances.
50. The Host by Stephenie Meyer romance. It's been a few years since I read this. I'm not a fan of first person, but this story could be told no other way. I still enjoyed it.
