#libraryhaul Requested that my library order the tagged book after reading Jenny‘s review @ReadingEnvy - eager to get more context for current events. And, of course, had to try the new Atwood. I enjoyed her last essay collection, Writing with Intent, quite a bit.
pickTo read the story of Putin is to better understand the story of Russia, unfortunately. He was born in Leningrad/St Petersburg only eight years after the siege and clawed his way to positions of power and money. He's like the Dick Cheney of Russia, where for every shady situation, you pull back the curtain and there he is. ↘️
