Enid did what with who? This is one of my favorites because its edgy for the time, especially if you were graduating out of the BSC books and moving on to more "mature" themes. It's still watered down in a "Jessi is hooked on caffeine pills and is so excited" sort of way but not so cringe that you set it aside and say "Not today PSA". I honestly wonder if this is a product of the "Just Say No" era that they shoved down our throats or a response to a sort of book version of the "After School Special". Either way not all is sweet in Sweet Valley...

Rereading YA as an adult is eye-opening and hilarious 😂 I will be posting my real life stories relating to the books on a separate post so if you choose to skip those you may.

Hell was having a party. It made sense, from their perspective. The Son had been taken care of. The tomb was sealed. The celebration was in full swing – until a sound shook the floor that had no business being shaken, and a messenger arrived with the worst four words in the history of the infernal realm: The tomb is empty. Kingdom Divided is a demon’s-eye-view of history – a dark, darkly funny, and theologically unflinching look at the long war between Heaven and Hell, told from the losing side. Chapter One opens in the aftermath of the Resurrection, as the Boss tries to keep his hierarchy from completely unraveling while quietly processing the one outcome he couldn’t afford to be true. Think Paradise Lost meets bureaucratic horror. The devil wears a tailored suit, his hellhounds know when to stand down, and Death himself can’t explain how he lost the one soul he was supposed to keep.

In this entry, I record notes related to a book that I was reading. The notes discuss stone casting and water divination as a way to use as oracles.

Elaine Pagels is widely recognized as a leading expert on the history of early Christianity -- 35 AD to the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.

As I started reading Dark Prince, I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy the romance, but the world Feehan created pulled me in from the very first page. The fierce passion, the rich lore, and the complex characters made it impossible to put down. This series has truly transformed my view of paranormal romance—and it even inspired my own stories of love and adventure.

This is a blog entry that was recently posted on my author's website johnstrapasonbooks.com. The author's main argument is that the media, especially in the United States, has long shown biased coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, favoring the Israeli perspective. Much of the information is shocking and unsettling to anyone with a healthy moral judgment.

This is a blog comment I posted on my author's website johnstrapasonbooks.com. It is a brief comment about the book A Moon Will Rise From the Darkness/Reports on Israel's Genocide in Palestine by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Albanese is an experienced human rights lawyer who brings an intelligent, detailed, unbiased view of the situation in Gaza.
