Well, Domenic Melillo did it. He is the fourth author ever to achieve a 9.6 rating in fiction! Season of the Swords is a phenomenal novel from top to bottom. It's not too surprising considering that this author wrote one of the best romances we've ever read (A Major League Love) and a truly mind-bending sci-fi novel in Einstein's Desk. One things for sure: Melillo can write. So what is it about Season of the Swords that earned it our highest rating ever? Well, it's actually very fun to read. It's entertaining! Is it too much to ask for a book to be fun and entertaining? It's also persistently interesting, always having us wonder what will happen next even in scenarios that seem predictable (like the battle of Thermopylae and the execution of Joan of Arc). Furthermore, the cousins in this book are distinct characters with something unique to bring to the story. While they're not exceptional as individual characters, they truly shine as a unit. One member of the family (Jeff) is a lawyer, another (Ty) is a bit on the naive and innocent side. Robbie takes the initiative and serves as the de facto company commander of the group. The Cincinnatus family, it turns out, are direct descendants of Joseph of Arimathea, destined to seek and protect the legendary Swords of Valor as a counter to the villainous Apostles of Azazel and their Swords of Terror. They are Guardians, following in the footsteps of their grandfather and those who came before them. They serve a divine destiny ordained by the Judeo-Christian God. The book opens up with the funeral of their grandfather, however we still frequently hear from a ghostly hologram of him throughout the story. He almost becomes like an Obi-Wan Force Ghost in that sense. If this sounds eerily familiar, it is. We actually just read a book (Genesis Awakens) that opens with a grandfather's funeral only to find out that he's actually an immortal wizard informing the main protagonist, Gen, that her destiny is to seek and guard the sacred nail that pierced Christ's feet from the villainous Accursed—essentially a demonic cult seeking the holy artifact to do evil. That book also keeps cutting to major events in Judeo-Christianity, namely the life and death of Jesus and the victory of David over Goliath. The similarities are staggering, but we can pretty safely assume it's a coincidence. After all, both books seem inspired by the same reference texts: The Bible, apocrypha, and Arthurian lore. Both books closely resemble King Arthur and his knights' quest of the Holy Grail. Both books seem to hold Christianity and western civilization in particularly high regard. Both are inspired, and their hearts are in the right place. Something that really elevates this book over Genesis Awakens is just that it's simply much funner to read. There are some really funny parts of this book like when Ty breaks the serious mood of the moment by asking to use the restroom. This book is also quite a bit more emotional. There are seriously times when the young men are emotionally torn about their actions, inactions, and decisions. Case in point: Joan of Arc. Should they try to save her from an unjust, cruel, and painful death by being burned at the stake? How will they cope emotionally in the aftermath of this? What about Jesus? Will they try to prevent his crucifixion or help him or the apostles somehow in such a dire time? What about Elizabeth II? May she rest in peace... Should the boys warn her about the terrible times that are to come during World War II or even beyond such as during the Cold War? Should they encourage Leonidas and the Spartans to change strategies to possibly defeat the Persians, or should they let them be betrayed and slaughtered? These are seriously interesting questions and situations that just beg to be explored. What's more is that this book is just COOL. Plain and simple. Who doesn't fantasize about collecting rare and powerful swords with tons of history and magical properties? Swords like Excalibur, Braveheart, Peter's sword, the sword of Joan of Arc, the sword of Don Quixote (yes, really), and the sword of Leonidas? There's even the Sword of freakin' Michael the Arch-Angel! How much more awesome does it get than that? It's almost like Adventure Time or something. We only have a few complains, and they really don't matter in the broader scheme of things. One, there are several redundancies such as when grandfather's hologram is repeatedly called “the image of their grandfather.” This is stated 17 times. However, it isn't technically their actual grandfather, so that explains that. Second, several of these side-quests drag on far longer than the others. The two we can think of are the quest to obtain the sword of Leonidas and the quest to overcome the sword of Goliath. At least the quest to obtain the sword of Leonidas took some risks and gave us some what-if scenarios, but it seemed plodding. Also, why did they really need an extra sword just to defeat the sword of Goliath? In another scenario, we could imagine that being understandable, but the Cincinnatus family literally has Excalibur and the sword of Michael the Arch-Angel. How can the sword of Michael the Arch-Angel not just run rough-shot through Goliath's sword and many of the other Swords of Terror? Do you remember that angel in the Bible who pushed away the four-ton stone from Jesus' tomb or the one that killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night? Those probably weren't even arch-angels. Could you imagine what Michael THE Arch-Angel (with capital “A's”) could do? The dude straight up defeated THE Satan with it, presumably at the height of Satan's angelic power. Yes, Goliath was big and had heavy weapons and armor, but he probably didn't weigh 8,000+ pounds or was equivalent to 185,000 soldiers. And what about Excalibur? Didn't you see it help Richard Gere run circles around Maligant in First Knight? That wasn't even a fair fight anymore. That was an auto-win! But we digress. These was a point to all of that, and that was to emphasize the importance and power of the virtues of the swords, not necessarily just their size or physical might. Anyway, this is a great book that can be read by people of all ages. It is fun, cool, and interesting throughout. Check it out on Amazon!

We'll open by saying this: this is a very polarizing book! The first time we went through it, a lot went over our head, the multiple-timeline aspect seemed a bit convoluted, and the religious elements seemed to be a bit forced. However, the second time we read this book, we really gained more of an appreciation for it. You really have to read this book slowly and patiently to fully grasp the merit of the storytelling. This is a very ambitious story that borrows elements from Christian religious tradition (primarily the Gospels) and Arthurian lore. The book primarily follows Genesis, commonly just called “Gen,” as she has recently endured the tragic and unexpected death of her grandfather, a devout Christian man beloved by the entire community. Grandfather raised Gen to be familiar with the Bible. Among Gen's favorite stories are the Gospels, the life of Jesus, and the slaying of Goliath by David. Sometimes when she recalls hearing these stories from her granddad, she also recalls experiencing the sounds and actions of the stories as if she were really there. This is great foreshadowing for when her character develops and her eyes are opened to her uniqueness. See, Gen isn't just another 20-something-year-old MBA student, she's a girl with a very special lineage and a very special destiny that began when Jesus was crucified and killed on Golgatha. She has a deep affinity with and is a guardian of the nail that pierced Christ's feet, believed to have absorbed his essence. While this isn't necessarily biblical as in true-to-scripture, it is consistent with extra-biblical Christian folklore such as the Arthurian myths and legends themselves. In fact, the footnail in this book shares many similarities with the Holy Grail of Arthurian Lore—a sought-after artifact believed to have been associated with Jesus. It is essentially a McGuffin, but we mean that in the most flattering way possible. Sometimes you need a McGuffin for heroes and villains to feud over and chase after. It adds tension and makes the story more exciting. The footnail seems to behave almost like those pins in the Tommorrow Land, a movie we love, or like Luke's lightsaber in the Force Awakens, a movie we hate. When someone with an affinity for it touches it (namely Gen), they get a flash of the past and the history of the item. In other words, they get to see and experience bits of the life of Jesus and the struggle by those after him to obtain the item. Gen is an adequate protagonist. She is brave, spunky, and tenacious. She is the Chosen One, the one meant to bring balance to the Force. However, she's also a bit generic in that sense. Yes, we can relate to her early loss in the book, but that doesn't seem to have impact and payoff it should have. Does she grow throughout the course of the book? Yes. In the beginning of the book, she is confused and sometimes even afraid of the wild things going on which prompts her to call for help and ask questions. She eventually grows to have a greater understanding of what's going on and her role in the universe. This is her awakening. There's also Mark, essentially that handsome guy with all the tattoos on his face and the machine gun from The Mummy (1999). He's handsome, cool, and helpful. There are times he bails Gen out of very tough situations. This book also features Merlin (yes, THE Merlin from Arthurian legend) as part of a twist you learn about early on (so it's not much of a spoiler). Merlin is a rather interesting and fitting addition to this story-line as he serves his classic role as a sort of facilitator and catalyst for the larger conflict. Merlin is essentially the Yoda, Obi-Wan, or Gandalf of this book, the grizzly old veteran wizard serving the greater good. We also follow Empress Helena and her loyal guards. If you don't know, Empress Helena was historically the mother of Emperor Constantine, the man who made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire after living one of the coolest war-time stories ever. Helena was obsessed with Christian artifacts, especially things related to the life of Jesus and his apostles. Perhaps the artifacts she is best known for trying to obtain is the Spear of Destiny, the spear said to have pierced the side of Christ after his death. This legendary spear has been coveted by leaders throughout history and seems to be the direct inspiration behind the footnail in this story. Interestingly, when the Spear of Destiny was analyzed by scientists, it actually contained a nail, supposedly one of the nails involved in the crucifixion, although the dating seemed to disprove that. One of the things we noticed about this book and Season of the Swords by Domenic Melillo is how eerily similar the books are. They're almost identical. Both stories begin with the death of a grandparent shrouded in mystery. Ironically, we read them back to back. Both stories feature a figurative or real return-from-the-dead of said grandparents. Both stories revolve around artifacts and historical figures with mostly Judeo-Christian significance (i.e. Jesus). Both tout a mostly Christian message. The thing is, as far as storytelling, character, and pacing goes, Season of the Swords comes across as the superior book. It's also a funnier book. Perhaps that's the major different: it was just funner and more entertaining to read. Now, that's not to take away from Genesis Awakens because Season of the Swords will likely rate at or near the top of all fiction books this season. Genesis Awakens still does its job in featuring a strong female lead coming into her own, charismatic side characters, and arguably better villains. Unlike in Season of the Swords in which the villains (“the Apostles of Azazel”) are on the sideline being talked about for 95% of the book, the villains in Genesis Awakens (“the Accursed”) are constantly at our heroes' throats, always just one step ahead or behind. In that sense (the involvement of villains in the plot), this book is superior. We can definitely recommend that you at least give this book a try if you're into Christian fiction related to the life of Jesus and/or Arthurian lore. Check it out on Amazon!

Who would've thought that a book about the Vietnam War would be the breath of fresh air we needed after numerous books about time travel, abuse, pandemics, politics, and racism? Letters from Vietnam by Dennis Hoy was exactly what we needed to read. It is a beautiful, grounded autobiography/memoir about one man (and couple's) experience during one of the most unpopular, violent, and divisive wars in American history. One of the things that pleasantly surprised us about this book is that this isn't just a lazily thrown together collection of letters (which we expected), but actually a thoughtful and thorough interpretation of these letters. In other words, this book actually has a clear and compelling narrative. And, by golly is it compelling! Dennis Hoy was an aspiring baseball player with a beautiful, loving girlfriend who got wrapped up and drafted into the Vietnam War, a conflict that provides the very real possibility of soldiers never coming home or not coming home in one piece. The tension is raw and real, and that's part of what makes this book great. Another thing that makes this book great is that you really get to know Dennis and the mindset of a soldier during the war. While the instinct to survive and protect oneself is great, so is the desire to make a positive difference and do one's duty such as when Dennis volunteered to be on point a third of the time and to be on watch when others couldn't be relied on to stay awake. This one year in Vietnam seems like an eternity as Dennis endures one struggle after another, not just from a very determined and tricky enemy but from his own military, particularly the higher-ups. Something that continually gets shared is how unjust and unfair the hierarchy can be. For example, many officers have less wartime experience than the grunts and serve tours that are half as long. But some of the greatest criticisms are regarding those much higher up in the chain of command and politicians, people who can send men to their deaths from all the way on the other side of the world. We are frustrated when Dennis is frustrated, anxious when he's anxious, and excited when he's excited. The greatest tension in this book, beside Dennis trying to survive the war in one piece, is whether Dennis and Beth will be able to reunite, marry, and have the happy ending they dreamed of before he was sent off to war. It's very tragic that these two are separated by a circumstance like this. What helps build the tension is when Dennis talks about other soldiers who are dumped or divorced during the course of the war, devastating them. We often worry if Dennis might suffer the same fate. After all, we've all experienced the difficulty of a long-distance relationship of some sort, so it's a very relatable conundrum made all the worse by war. It was also amazing to see some of the things we learned about from documentaries or in Arlen's Gun by Edgar Doleman be discussed from a real-life, first-hand perspective. Case in point: we got to read about Puff the Magic Dragon (the AC-47 gunship) in action, albeit sometimes tragically. For instance, there is one time when Dennis's side is overrun and outnumbered, having to call in close-air-support from an AC-47. The AC-47 devastates the enemy with tens of thousands of rounds per minute, but it also wipes out civilians who are wrapped up in the violence with nowhere else to run. Speaking of situations like this, the author isn't shy about talking about them. In fact, Dennis discusses some of the atrocities and torture he witnessed on both sides such as people losing fingers, being scalped, or being waterboarded. What's interesting is that Dennis doesn't bluntly condemn these actions but rather tries to understand them from the perspective of men at war who've seen their comrades mutilated and killed, dealing with immense trauma mixed with a burning bloodlust for revenge and retaliation. It seems natural, sadly, that immense cruelty might be met with immense cruelty. At the same time, there's a lot of hope and humanity to be found too. For example, when Dennis suffers from Malaria, he is visited by Vietnamese schoolgirls who give him gifts to cheer him up. Also, when the Americans visit a particular village, some of the children come out to greet them and give them coconuts. Perhaps the most enjoyable stories in this book aren't really about people at all but rather the exotic and often dangerous wildlife in Vietnam ranging from venomous snakes to mysterious murder cats that attack in the night to bullet-sponge water buffaloes that charge without warning. There's even a lizard so huge and aggressive that the soldiers mistake it for a crocodile! This is a perspective of the war that we think doesn't get a lot of attention: from the ground. It's one thing to see movies about Vietnam or watch media, but it's another thing to hear and read these perspectives. It's also interesting to get Beth's perspective. Check out this incredible book on Amazon! Score: 93/100 (9.3 out of 10)
The Lambda Factor is a heavily-inspired medical fiction thriller from the mind of an actual doctor and scientist, Dimple Desai (MD). Although it is listed as speculative fiction, it is actually a chilling reflection of reality and current events. The book covers such issues as failures in pandemic relief/response, an overburdened healthcare system, the military industrial complex and the weaponization of such things as Agent Orange, the politicization of tragic events, and—to top it off—global warming and its relation to weather phenomena. It is patient and methodical, covering a lot of ground in 350 pages (which is really about 180 pages of text considering the spacing). The author provides numerous perspectives of the book's core crisis. In that sense, it reminds us heavily of the novel we'd just read and reviewed, When All Hope is Lost by Alyce Elmore, another book about a viral pandemic that wiped out a large portion of the population post-COVID. Both books also featured doctors and scientists as central characters with numerous perspectives, although Elmore's work may have provided a broader diversity in those perspectives in showing the affects of the pandemic in the shoes of people at different levels of society. However, Desai's work does branch out as we get the rather unique and interesting perspective of Jason Carter, a prisoner and disgruntled veteran of the War on Terror. We're introduced to Carter as a surprisingly cool, charming, and somewhat snarky gentleman, even cracking jokes despite the direness of the situation and his vulnerability in being bed-bound in a hospital in the middle of both a pandemic and a hurricane. That's right, a hurricane. As if the pandemic weren't terrible enough, the characters have to experience the full wrath of 2020 (being sarcastic here), as Hurricane Beatrix forms in the Atlantic. Meanwhile, the hospital personnel and patients in Galveston, Texas are trapped on that island in quarantine with military enforcement and politicians like Senator Crowley being barely willing to lift a finger to alleviate the situation. You know this guy is not intended to be likable for the shear fact that his name is Crowley (as in Aleister Crowley, the occultist) and is possibly based on real-life Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Crowley may not be evil or a traditional villain, but he is definitely unscrupulous. He is a politician. He plays his political game and performs his political theater. It is kind of chilling how close this is to reality and how politicians on both sides used the pandemic to paint the other side as evil while glancing over the human costs of their actions or inactions. The author also has first-hand experience of hurricanes in Texas, having lived through and survived multiple ones. So, not only does the author have experience as a doctor during the COVID-19 pandemic, but they also have experience with the natural disasters in the region. This book really does come from a place of experience and inspiration, and we admire it for that. Does this sometimes lead to too much going on and a convoluted story with perhaps too many different messages? Maybe. But it's somewhat interesting. It was at least compelling enough to get us through the book without much complaint. Jason Carter, Dr. Shaka Sen, Dr. Kirsten Stone, and—above all—Dr. Danica Diza are solid protagonists who actively push the plot forward and get us on their side. Well, Jason can sometimes get on the reader's nerves, but that's the point. Also, his last name is misspelled at least once (as “Cater” at the beginning of chapter 16), but we can forgive that. Another somewhat funny thing we noticed about Jason's character is that the disturbing backstory he shares about serving in Iraq is almost identical to something we'd heard or read about before. At first we couldn't put our fingers on it, but then we realized that this isn't a description of the Iraq War at all but borrowed from an interview from a Vietnam War correspondent describing the treatment of American POWs and accused collaborators who were thrown off of trucks while tied up with no way to break their fall. It was seriously a case of deja vu to read that! We can't really fault the author too much as we've been inspired by historical documentaries in our own writing. The book also features some graphic descriptions of death and decay. Notably, it features one of the most tragic and sad deaths we've read in a fiction novel. There are also some shocking and disturbing reveals! Comparably, this book is most similar to Lethal Elixir by Dennis Ross, another book about a pandemic with political and military implications. Deciding on which of these two books is better or superior is incredibly difficult. With all that in mind we're giving it an identical score of 9.3 out of 10. Check it out on Amazon! Score: 94/100 (9.4 out of 10)
Fostering: A Memoir of Courage and Hope by Carmen Maria Navarro is a heartfelt, genuine, eye-opening book about the ups and downs of the child welfare/foster care system. Navarro is an incredible human being as well as an author who has walked the talk and experienced this system first-hand. The book centers on the Navarro family's experiences with several foster care children, all of them unique and special in their own ways. Each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and challenges. What's incredible about this book is that no matter how difficult some of these children may be to care for, the author's love for them is unconditional. There is so much love in this book! What's also incredible is the amount of tension in this book. For example, we're all cheering for a happy ending. That's a plus in favor of the book right there—we truly CARE about the people involved. The sad fact is that happy endings aren't guaranteed or truly permanent/everlasting. Sometimes in life, you reach a pinnacle only to experience a major setback or fall. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to let go of the people and things that we've nurtured and built. You really feel the weight of the decisions that the Navarro family makes. It's painful and heart-wrenching. There are a number of compelling real-life figures in this book, many of whom use made up names to protect their privacy. There's Andy, the first child whose biological mom was going through a crisis. There's Danny, a boy who insists on the family watching and reciting lines from the Disney movie Wreck It Ralph each and every night. He's totally in the right as Wreck It Ralph is the best Disney animated movie of the recent era. What's extra incredible about Danny is that we actually learn about encounters with him later in life when he was more mature. He even remembers his time in the Navarro household. There's an African American girl named Naomi who expresses a sort of culture shock (living with a Latino-White family) while also struggling with an eating disorder. It is also revealed that she may have a criminal history, something which the state kept a secret from the family. There's also another foster child (or two) who we're introduced to in the epilogue, ending this book on an almost perfect note that brings everything full-circle. We won't spoil that. However, out of all these foster children, the most interesting by far is Lucy. Lucy even has her own section dedicated exclusively to her. So, who is Lucy and what is her deal? Well, first of all: POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING CONTENT AHEAD. Lucy is a troubled yet very likable child who alternates between times of frustration and even violence to times of demonstrating incredible affection and creativity. She is an onion—a frozen onion frozen there by circumstances beyond her control. She was a victim of grooming and sexual abuse by her own father, something which greatly affected her trust and future interactions with people. Despite sometimes lashing out and being anti-social, Lucy's cold outer shell slowly melts as she becomes comfortable with loving, physical contact again. In fact, she becomes so affectionate and loving that Navarro is forced to teach her about boundaries—both for her and for other people. Navarro is preparing her to protect herself from future sexual abuse. Something else that's very endearing about Lucy is that she loves to try things and express herself in different ways. She is a terrific singer with the voice of an angel. She also loves to apply makeup to herself and others, although not necessarily doing that great of a job some of the time. She also loves cheetahs. In fact, cheetah prints make up a great deal of her favorite clothes. Lucy just seems like a very dynamic character, someone who is flawed in a lot of ways yet full of hope. She inspires hope in us that someday she could have the happy life she deserves, righting the wrongs of her past life. While showcasing the experiences with these foster children, Navarro does a terrific job at pointing out the flaws of the child welfare/foster care system and aspects of it that go unacknowledged. Perhaps the biggest thing she points out is that the system knowingly and willingly keeps prospective foster parents in the dark about their prospective foster kids as a sort of privacy or confidentiality issue. The problem is that some of these foster children have histories that seem pertinent for the foster family to know about beforehand. For example, it seems wrong that the family wasn't told that Naomi had gone to juvenile prison for an undisclosed and potentially violent crime, all the while living under the same roof and right next door to other minors. They also weren't informed about her eating disorder or about Lucy's sexual abuse, something which possibly led to Lucy acting out physically and violently toward her foster siblings including choking one of them. These are significant pieces of undisclosed information that aren't just helpful, they are necessary to know both for the wellness of the foster children and the safety of the foster family. Foster families who are essentially doing the state a favor by taking in these children shouldn't be left in the dark by the state. Another issue that keeps coming up is the consideration of how having foster children influences and affects the biological children in the household. What influence are they getting? Are they feeling neglected or abandoned? Threatened? Afraid? What lessons are they acquiring from being a part of such a household? Check out this heartwarming, heart-wrenching, and eye opening book on Amazon! Score: N/A
Rise from the Blue is presented as a series of conversations/dialogue akin to a stage play. The central character and most vocal protagonist is John Nobola, an immigrant who is very unhappy with the state of America, particularly its politics and media bias. As one character (Ekiey) says, almost everything Nabola thinks and says comes down to politics. Sometimes challenging him but usually trumpeting his call is his best friend, Isaac Abenda. They're also joined by other characters like Asso, a colleague of Nobola, the aforementioned Ekiey, Marty, and Father Gilbert. Through these characters, the author attempts to show different perspectives to the arguments that brew between the Left and the Right. You know what? We actually agree with a lot of the arguments that the author makes. Yes, the media is biased. Yes, there is a cult-like mentality brewing in our culture and society that's becoming increasingly dogmatic and dangerous. It has become its own socio-political religion in a sense, ruining peoples' lives and indoctrinating future generations. Yes, America seems to be deteriorating and caving in to the will of the mob. Yes, common sense isn't so common. Yes, we need lower taxes, less regulation, and a strong military that deters aggressors. Yes, America needs to remember that it's America and not Other-i-ca or Like-Everyone-Else-Ica. Yes, we need police—albeit police that don't murder and/or discriminate against people. Yes, we need rules. Yes, the race riots were horrendous. Yes, we need energy independence. Yes, we need to ensure that American businesses and workers continue to be the biggest and best in the world. Ok, maybe not the physical biggest (as in obese), but you get it... The real issue with this book is the presentation of information. The presentation of information in this book is so heavy-handed, so preachy, so dogmatic, and so one-sided that it's difficult to enjoy or find interesting even if you agree or can at least understand the overall message. This book outright comes out and tells you what's wrong with America. Yes, there's dialogue, but is it really dialogue or someone just echoing/parroting the point that Nobola (the author's mouthpiece) is trying to make? It's more like a 91-page monologue or diatribe. It's pretty much like a novella-length rant. We invite you to read it for yourself to verify that or not. From our perspective, this book is just way too one-sided and preachy. These aren't really characters, they're two-dimensional constructs the author uses to put forward a political message. But perhaps the thing that hurts this book the most is that, despite the fact that it's presented like a stage or morality play, there doesn't seem to be a plot. We were going to playfully argue that this book is more preachy than the Bible. It kinda is. Yes, the Bible constantly reminds the reader that God is great, good, and powerful, but it also has three-dimensional characters with character flaws and relatable moments of weakness. Moses got frustrated with his followers and struck the rock. Abraham and Sarah conspired to get Haggar pregnant with Abraham's child. Thomas doubted Jesus. Peter denied Jesus three times. David committed adultery. Saul/Paul persecuted people. They all changed or had some sort of wrinkle occur with their characters. What real journey or character arc do the characters in Rise from the Blue actually undertake beside just nodding their heads and ultimately agreeing that blue is bad and red is good? Again, we are not arguing against the points that the author is trying to make, but rather we're arguing for the way that these points are made. It just does not seem real or natural. None of these characters seem to talk like real people. None of the conclusions seem contended or earned. It would have been much better had the author just made this a non-fiction book and said their piece about the way they felt about American politics and society. At least then it would have felt natural and real. This book does have a point of view worth hearing/reading about and is mostly absent of spelling and grammatical errors. You can still check this book out on Amazon if you are curious. |
