@Matt_Pinner yes

Do you ?

@Matt_Pinner of course I tell them; I don't want them to worry.

When leaving the house does anyone else tell their pets they'll be home later or is it just me?

@nickimoraa maybe you DO have to have read Julius Caesar - although I don't think so.

I told someone to “Beware the Ides of March” today, and they looked at me like I was crazy. 😖 please tell me other people know what I’m referring to??

@lady_valor_07 catastrophe

Umm, what would you call this?

@vickyweberbooks quite right! let's be international...

Can we PLEASE stop telling authors to cut other languages from their books? I’ve talked to multiple authors told to remove the Spanish. 😠 If readers can figure out what a hobbit is or casually drop “valar morghulis,” they can context clue their way through a real lang...

@simonmaechling This has been out there for a while. It's ridiculous. Who realises that, had it not been for chemistry, our lifespan would probably be around 40 years? And this is only one thing.

I’m a chemist. I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there. The biggest health myth in the world isn’t about vaccines. Or GMOs. Or fluoride. It’s the root of all of them. It’s called chemophobia - and it’s killing science. Fear of “chemicals” now drives vaccine rejection, GMO bans, food hysteria, and entire political movements. From tampons to tap water, people have been taught to fear chemistry - the very thing that keeps us alive. Chemophobia tells us: “Natural is good.” “Synthetic is bad.” That’s a lie. Botulinum toxin is 100% natural and one of the deadliest molecules known. Aspirin is synthetic and life-saving. We’ve gone from banning harmful substances for good reason…to banning safe, well-tested molecules for emotional reasons. You’ve seen the slogans: “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.” “Paraben-free.” “Clean beauty.” They sound empowering. But they’re not science - they’re marketing. And they’re making the world dumber, poorer, and sicker. Your body doesn’t care if a molecule comes from a plant or a lab. Vitamin C is vitamin C. Formaldehyde is formaldehyde and your body makes more of it every day than any vaccine ever could. Dose matters. Source doesn’t. This fear isn’t harmless. It shapes public policy. It blocks innovation. It raises food prices. It slows down cancer treatments. Chemophobia is now mainstream and it’s costing lives. Scientists aren’t losing because we’re wrong. We’re losing because fear spreads faster than facts. Because influencers sell fear for clicks. Because lawyers monetize doubt. And because scientists are too tired to fight back. So here’s my message, as a chemist and as a citizen: Learn how toxicology works. Call out chemical fear-mongering. Support policies based on evidence, not emotion. Chemistry isn’t the enemy. It’s the reason you have clean water, safe food, and modern medicine. If we let fear win, we lose all of it.

@Stephie9101 @TwBookClub Thank you so much. I really appreciate what you wrote. love, Liz

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz this story blends a complex murder investigation with the world of art history, especially the life and work of Artemisia Gentileschi. The powerful theme of giving voice to women silenced by violence make this crime novel feel both gripping and deeply meaningful.

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz The Arc of Blood by Elizabeth Mostyn follows Detective Patrice as he investigates two cases. One of the cases is the murder at the Hotel de Jardins. Another case is about investigating the authenticity of Artemisia Gentileschi painting. This is a great read for mystery lovers.

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz I appreciate that "The Arc of Blood" by Elizabeth Mostyn is written from a woman's perspective with strong female characters. The sample begins with a murder mystery, and I am curious how this murder is tied to art.

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz The Arc of Blood follows Detective Patrice and his team as they investigate a strange murder at Hotel de Jardins while also looking into an Artemisia Gentileschi painting. I liked the careful investigation and strong female characters.

@JessieSaad30153 @TwBookClub Please do. Hope you enjoy it! love Liz

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz The mix of art history and mystery immediately caught my attention. The idea of a lost Artemisia Gentileschi painting turning up on a rubbish dump is intriguing. I would definitely like to read this one.

@jcbooklover @TwBookClub So sorry you could not get on with it. I know it isn't a 'normal' crime novel and not for everyone. Thank you for letting me know. I take all comments seriously. Best wishes, Liz

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz I was looking forward to this book as I really enjoy crime novels and thrillers, but I couldn't get past the first few pages. I just couldn't connect with the writing style which was in present tense throughout and seemed childish with the types of phrasing.

@limphomojakisan @TwBookClub Glad you like the sound of it. Hope you enjoy the ride. love, Liz

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz The Arc of Blood by Elizabeth Mostyn sounds like a great blend of art and mystery. The idea of Patrice Lanier investigating whether a painting found in a Finnish rubbish dump could actually be by Artemisia Gentileschi is really intriguing.

@Mrupali6 @TwBookClub Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy reading it. love, Liz

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz Congrats on BOTD! A compelling historical thriller about power, treachery, a legacy carved in blood, "The Arc of Blood" combines art history and a suspenseful homicide inquiry as Detective Patrice investigates Artemisia Gentileschi's heritage after solving a terrifying homicide.

@ajiajiferuke @TwBookClub Thank you, hope you enjoy the book. love, Liz

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz "The Arc of Blood" by Elizabeth Mostyn is a character-driven crime thriller novel. I found your review as captivating as you claimed the book itself is. The individuation of Amélie, Patrice’s teenage daughter, piqued my interest. It's good that most of the women were respected.

@Sarohrose @TwBookClub Thank you so much. I am very pleased. I do hope you enjoy the book. Book 5 The Ultraviolet Catastrophe is out soon... love Liz

@TwBookClub @MostynLiz “The Arc of Blood” is an intriguing mystery as Detective Patrice investigates a murder at the Hotel des Jardins while working with Chlöe to uncover secrets behind Artemisia Gentileschi’s paintings. The strong female detectives make it seem very engaging. Congrats on BOTD.
