Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup | John Carreyrou

pick

Latest book club pick. 🩸🩸🩸🩸 🎧
I cannot understand how she got away with this for so long?!?!? Did she start out actually believing or hoping her idea would work or did she know from the beginning that it would never work? I find it fascinating the kinds of people who can be so brazen with their lies and how they manage to fool intelligent people. Ego is definitely a dirty word. Greed is another.

Texreader This was an awesome book. To me it shows the incredible continued value of investigative journalism 2w

LeeRHarry Thought this was a great read too. It made me very angry, particularly I think as I work in pathology. 2w

Rissreadswithcats @LeeRHarry this would have hit home on another level for you then. 1w

Rissreadswithcats @Texreader yes especially in our current climate of fake news! 1w

The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend | Rob Copeland

pick

It‘s evident the author did thorough research on Bridgewater and Dalio. Toxic CEO and Founder, toxic work environment. I have never shook my head at what I was reading so much in my life…people selling their souls and self dignity for the almighty buck.

Forecasting: Methods and Applications | Spyros G. Makridakis, Rob J. Hyndman

#BookReport

Finished Girl in a Pink Dress 5 🌟. Keeping upon group reads. DNF‘d Hester, it‘s me not the book.

#WeeklyForecast

Just started The Fury, meh so far. Love being back with the Dashwoods in Sense & Sensibility. About half way through Miranda‘s memoir about living with chronic illness. Enjoying it! I loved her character in Call the Midwife and laughed so hard I cried when watching her sitcom. Next up audio will be The Wedding People.

Keeping my goal the same as the last couple of years because it‘s achievable. I don‘t want to feel I *have* to read just to hit a goal.

Lcsmcat I do that too. And this year I am doing a “pages read” goal to encourage me to read some of my longer books. 1mo

TheEllieMo @Lcsmcat I did that too. I kicked off the year with 2 very short books so I will have to read a longer one to balance out 1mo

Lcsmcat @TheEllieMo You‘ve got time. 😀 1mo

Eggs Perfect👏🏻 1mo

Sparklemn @Lcsmcat Smart! I think I‘ll try a pages goal, too. 1mo
