Just like you, this groundbreaking thermostat rewrites the laws of thermodynamics to be hot and cold simultaneously. It can instantly cool any space to 28 degrees Fahrenheit while simultaneously warming it to 114. The Smart Thermostat for the Perimenopausal is advertised pretty much exclusively by word of mouth, and each person who tells you about it describes a slightly different array of features.

A House Like an Accordion by Audrey BurgesA House Like an Accordion (2024) by Audrey Burges has an absolutely fantastic opening line: “I was brushing my teeth when my hand disappeared.” Talk about a hook. What is going on here? The author had me at the start. Unfortunately, the promise of that opening line was never realized and thanks to a number of issues, the novel ended up being one I had to push myself to finish and thus can’t recommend.

Drive in the H.O.V. lane without getting pulled over. I’d have four human women in my Subaru Forester instead of just me and a stack of library books, an overgrown heartleaf philodendron, and a mannequin that I stole from Kohl’s. Let someone else navigate my car’s stupid touch screen, so I don’t almost swerve out of the H.O.V. lane while searching for Brandi Carlile’s “Broken Horses” on Spotify. Cease to rely solely on my own judgment regarding the ripeness of a cantaloupe.

Review by Karen B, Reviewer Last updated on 26 May 2023 This was a story that defied genre-typing. It reminded me a little of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children with its aura of magic that isn't always wholly benevolent. Myra's minuscule mansion - which she inherited from her step-grandma Trixie when she was just five - consumes her lonely life, while its real-life counterpart shapes and influences the life of its current inhabitant Alex.
