The Atlantis Complex is book 7 in the Artemis Fowl series. In this episode, Artemis is suffering from a fictional dissociative mental illness which makes it difficult for him to manage even his day-to-day activities. The spy/inventor/criminal mastermind who is usually ahead of the game in every instance is really suffering in this installment.

May is Celiac Disease Awareness month. You may have heard of Celiac Disease and not know what it means. It has also been called Celiac Sprue and a couple of other names. While those with Celiac Disease react to the glutens (proteins) in grains, it is not an allergy like a peanut allergy.
One of the things that I have had people ask me is which is worse, allergies or intolerance (Celiac Disease is an intolerance to glutens.) But it is very individual. Either one can be mild or severe. And with an intolerance like Celiac Disease, you may not realize that you have it, may not have any recognizable symptoms, but it can still cause damage that can result in serious illness such as colon cancer or the inability to absorb nutrients.

I am currently reading You Are Not Alone, a psychological thriller by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Both have at least a couple of other books under their belts, and you can tell. You Are Not Alone is a slow-burn as Shay Miller finds herself pulled deeper and deeper into the plot of the Moore sisters. An innocent bystander, Shay has no idea what she is getting into or why the sisters are first befriending her and then… not. Definitely a page-turner.

The Sentinel is the twenty-fifth book in the Jack Reacher series. I haven’t noticed any issues with the transition from Lee Child writing alone to coauthoring with Andrew Child. It is still classic Jack Reacher. However, Reacher is becoming a dinosaur in his investigative methods. He has never carried a cell phone, doesn’t drive a car, doesn’t know how to operate a computer. He looks up phone numbers and addresses in the paper director, if there even is one. It looks like Rusty Rutherford, the IT consultant that Reacher is protecting from all of the bad guys in this story is going to give him a little help in bringing himself up-to-date on the technology side of things, so you can look forward to Jack Reacher with a smart phone as the series progresses. This could open up a whole new world for Reacher. Online searches and maps, calling an Uber, Amazon delivering to his door… the possibilities are endless.

Start over? Yes, I am currently reading Joanna Fluke’s Christmas Cupcake Murder, and while it is book 26 in her Hannah Swensen series, it is actually set before the rest of the series in the timeline. Sort of the origin story for Hannah and the Lake Eden community.

I was asking an autistic friend for his thoughts on topics of importance to autists in 2021, and his suggestion was to look at intersectionality. So now I have about thirty tabs open as I have been researching and digging up some resources for you. I hope you’re ready for this!

I am enjoying my second book in a row from Donna Andrews. I just recently read Lark! The Herald Angels Sing, which is book #24 in this thirty book series, and have returned to book #1, Murder with Peacocks, to where it all started. All of the books in this series are named with bird names, as you might have guessed, and nearly every second book appears to have a Christmas theme.
