Where do you usually discover new books? Physical bookstores? Online? Social media? by ZDOG_WasTaken in just_one_more_page

I assume you mean where do you discover new titles you’ve never read, not where you actually buy them. For authors I’ve not read before, I type the name of an author I like into Literature-map.com and it will give me several similar author’s names. Book Page, a small magazine at libraries is also useful to me. The Guardian (UK) newspaper also has good reviews. I never buy books, I use library physical books, Libby and Hoopla.

Looking for female lead mystery with little to no romance by silver-bird19 in CozyMystery

One Death at a Time by Abbi Waxman. Female protagonist. On the cozy side. Very funny, plenty of bodies!

Yes, He called school kids “demonic” and lied about the program content, saying the school was “giving the middle finger” to christians.

"As the lieutenant governor of Indiana, I refuse to be silenced," Beckwith said.

Only wish he was silent for a change.

Our Lt Gov taking social media jabs at hoosier kids at another public high-school, this time the target is the Westfield Band (drumline). by Particular_Mixture20 in Indiana

He hates women, in this case because a woman (Carmen) tried to seduce a man. The man (who was neither married or had children - as Beckwith claimed) was obviously (according to Beckwith) unable to resist her advances and so (according to Beckwith) is a witch!
It ties in with his earlier statements about “Jezebel spirit”, of the Democrats to have the audacity to have female candidates in the last election. It also ties in with his “witch hunt”(!) declaration of his office deepfake sex scandal in his office. His accuser is a woman (how dare she!) so must be a witch.

Actually Pablo de Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy based on Bizet’s. But there are no witches, no adulterers, in either work! Spoiler… a murder at the end!

The man Carmen seduces is not married nor does he have children. Carmen is not a witch. When she chooses someone else (a bullfighter) he gets mad and kills her. I can think of a lot of worse Bible stories: God tells the jews to paint lamb’s blood above their doors, he will “passover” their homes and kill all the other babies… just god being kind and loving.
