Mehso-so

Book no 1 from my #10beforetheend picks.

This was gearing up to be a pick but I found a couple of the latter chapters sketchy and sadly lacking. Still enjoyed the earlier chapters on media moguls which is clearly where O'Brien has the most knowledge and experience

@ChaoticMissAdventures

Cuilin I don‘t know much about him but I‘ve seen him push callers on his show to answer questions. I think he‘s got good journalistic integrity. He also doesn‘t let politicians get away with not answering the question. If only all journalists did this. 5mo
Balibee146 @Cuilin yeah he has done some good work holding politicians feet to the fire... Though my fab is still Eddie "you're a nasty price of work aren't you?" Mair.I have more of a ? around O'Brien after he remained pretty silent during the Sangita Myska situation at LBC.. But there was a lot to like here. 5mo
Balibee146 Typo hell lol *fav and also *nasty piece of work... 5mo

Luke-XVX He‘s well informed but so bloody smug at times.I did enjoy him trashing Farage on air recently, I laughed my arse off 5mo
Balibee146 @Luke-XVX there's a transcript in the book of an old clash between him and Farage which is rather satisfying. 5mo
Luke-XVX That‘ll do it!! 5mo

Starting a bit of non fiction... Not expecting any new revelations I wasn't aware of but sure having it synthesised into one place is going to get me #raging

Part of my #10beforetheend list so I may be a little early but wanting some non fiction on #kindle today, as it is so dark and dreary here today.

@ChaoticMissAdventures

ChaoticMissAdventures Dark money and politics, seems to be happening so many places, that and old politicians who refuse to give up power. This sounds interesting! Good job getting a jump start. 5mo

I am not a fan of the Johnson family but a friend gave me this to read and I felt I had to at least try and read it ! I then found myself in a position where I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn‘t put it down ! I was not expecting that …. It‘s sort of a spoof on the 2016 Brexit referendum, Russian involvement and USA presidential election - very close to the bone at times and fascinating reading .

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ (4/5)

This read like poetry to me. Smith tackled a lot in 272 pages - every word and line felt important. It was a beautiful, melancholy, meditative reflection on art, nature, life, death, and time. I will definitely re-read this: It seems like the kind of book you gleam more from upon each reading.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks So pretty 🧡 13mo

Oh, it's so hard to pick favorites!
1. Addie LaRue, VE Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
2. It's a tie: Crowley & Aziraphale, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
3. Autumn by Ali Smith

Eggs Love Schwab novels, especially this one ❣️ 13mo
