It would be diffi-cult not to love this book.
A linguist looks at how cults use language to gain power and how it has pervaded our entire culture, from notorious cults to modern startups and Instagram feeds.

Libby V

I'm an adult services librarian with reading tastes that tend toward LGBTQ+ literature, sci-fi, fantasy, YA and graphic novels. If I'm not reading books on my to-read list or adding books to my to-read list, I can almost guarantee I'm watching "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," roller skating, crafting, cooking delicious vegetarian food or snuggling my greyhounds.
