Six years ago, Reagan Riley and Wesley Locke were competitors in their video game design program until Wesley ghosted her after a hookup. Now Reagan has given up on game design to stay close to family. She channels her creative energy into D&D,  but her longstanding group fell apart. She and her sister look into joining a game at the local game store, and the DM is none other than Wesley. When a new game design opportunity opens up, both vie for the opportunity again. Now they have to figure out not only who will win the job, but who will win between them if a new relationship begins.

August Libby Haul and Why You Should Get a Library Card

by Donna Huber

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. If you don't have a library card, you are missing out on one of the best resources in your community. In my state, almost every library is part of the statewide system. That means that with one library card, I can check out books at any library in the state (there are a few county systems that aren't part of the system, but the majority of the library systems are). Where I live, I have at least 5 brick-and-mortar libraries within a 30-minute drive. Here are some of my favorite resources I have access to with my library card.
