Where We Go from Here

Took Bernie with me to work today. I have been happy to have his assistance because it has actually been pretty busy at the library today.

Where We Go from Here | Bernie Sanders

Right out of the gate, Sanders's book was on a whole other level compared to the other's I've read so far (with the exception of Warren) when it comes to plan making and political intelligence. This also showcases that Bernie is a humble guy, who would rather see real change than get credit, in how he worked with HC after the loss of the 2016 primaries and how he works across the aisle wit Republicans.

Emilymdxn Love his writing! Pity I‘m from the wrong country I‘d love to vote for him! 5y

MelissaSue81 I also really enjoyed the part about him helping other progressive candidates get to Congress. 5y

LoverofLit @Emilymdxn I'll think of you when I vote ❤ 5y

LoverofLit @MelissaSue81 I really did as well! 5y

Two #readthecandidates reviews going live on http://www.TheBibliophage.com this week. Bernie is up first. This covers a bit from 2015 and 2106, but mostly focuses on his activities from 2016 until mid 2018. He reviews all the key progressive talking points, but doesn‘t dive especially deep in any of them. If you‘re leaning politically left, this is a good summary, directly from one of the leading candidates.

MelissaSue81 I liked this one. I was glad to hear that he‘s been fighting hard in the senate and I appreciate his work to get progressive candidates elected in 2018. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @MelissaSue81 Agreed! I have been hunting for an inexpensive way to read a few more. Disappointed at how many are not in my libraries‘ collections. So I just ordered Castro, Booker, and Klobuchar from Thriftbooks. 😎 5y

Listening to this one now. Quite a shift from my last audiobook (IQ by Joe Ide). But I have to get back on the #readthecandidates train!

Inauguration Day - “. As I left the capitol that day, I was angry. The country faced enormous problems that the American people wanted to see resolved. And I wanted to begin work on them. But under Trump and Republican leadership I knew there was no way that would happen. Instead we would have to spend at least the next two years in a defensive mode, preventing bad situations from becoming worse.”

I just can‘t help liking Bernie. This was basically just a run down of what he‘s been working on since the 2016 election. #ReadtheCandidates.

Even though he‘s not officially running yet, my audio hold came in for Bernie‘s new book, so I‘m listening. I was all in on Bernie in 2016, even waited in the pouring rain for 4 hours to see him speak. I think the party needs to go another direction this time around, but gosh I can‘t help liking him, in spite of myself. #ReadTheCandidates

Gaylagal2 I did not support him in 2016, but I really and truly like this man. 🤓🤙 5y

Debating checking these out from my work. They just came in, and I‘m very tempted, but this job has a short checkout period and I have so many other books I want to read that I‘m not sure I want to get this bogged down in political reading. And.. I must say, I am mystified as to why these books are cataloged in different sections, neither being the political science section. I would never make it as a cataloger. #ReadTheCandidates

MyNamesParadise I loved This Fight is Our Fight. It made me a Warren fan! I really like her! 5y

SleepyDragon The Warren book is more about socio-economic issues than politics, if that helps. 5y

Read the last few pages of this in a gorgeous little polish dumpling shop!! Warsaw is amazing pics to follow

A heartening, reasonable, optimistic book about grassroots politics and the future in America, but it gave me a lot of hope in Britain as well as so much is applicable in both countries.

5.17am at a very dark station waiting for a late train 😨 still got a cough but doing better, and excited for my warsaw adventure once I manage to get to the airport (and hopefully stop coughing). My sweet boyfriend has gone to buy me a muffin and orange juice and I have Bernie Sanders with me.

Probably my last trip to Europe from within the EU??

Jee_HookedOnBookz Have fun!! 5y

rockpools Enjoy Poland! 5y

SW-T @Emilymdxn Enjoy your trip! Hope your cough clears soon. 5y

Lunch break 😊 still feeling ill but I‘ve cancelled the audition I was meant to have tonight so I can just go home and rest and pack before my flight tomorrow. I‘m leaving the house at 5am 😨 so want to be on my best form!

I don‘t feel appalling and I hope I can be a lot better tomorrow for Poland - I really want some time to recharge and I‘m grateful it‘s come now. Hand luggage only so I‘ll be having quality time with my kindle for 3 days!

LauraBeth Hope you‘re feeling better in the morning 💕 5y

Bklover Feel better!💛 5y

What with the state of Britain right now I‘ve lost the stomach to read fiction much recently. I miss it and hope I‘m able to go back to it soon, but non fiction is all I can make myself manage or I find myself putting down novels to scroll through the news again. I hope to be a diction reader again soon, but I‘ll keep ploughing through the non fiction on my kindle for now

BookBridget Great bookcases 5y

Emilymdxn @BookBridget thank you! They‘re overcrowded and a bit of a mess unfortunately I live in a very small room 5y

BarbaraBB I can imagine you keep bring distracted by British reality these days. I have no clue what will come of the brexit, all is so uncertain. 5y

Weaponxgirl I‘ve been the same, except I was utterly unable to read for quite a while. Just a distracted picking up and not finishing anything. I‘m back on it again but only nonfiction is hitting the spot 5y

Emilymdxn @BarbaraBB I refresh the news every chance I get and it never gets any better, I just don‘t have any ideas anymore 5y

Emilymdxn @Weaponxgirl I know exactly how you feel, I struggle with motivation with fiction. I can do it by audio but find it harder written out 5y

Weaponxgirl @Emilymdxn brexit has really been getting me down and has led to my need for history binge. I need to see what people did in dark times. If you ever need to just have a brexit is shite whinge feel free to hit me up 5y

Emilymdxn @Weaponxgirl totally! I‘m in just the same place as you with history reading. I feel like every day is brexit whinge day for me 💔 5y

Weaponxgirl @Emilymdxn I‘ve been the same combined with omg I can‘t take it moments and burying my head in the sand. But we can be strong and get through this. 5y
