#12Booksof2024 February
Choosing a book didn‘t get any easier for February, but since I highlighted a fiction book in January I thought I should highlight a nonfiction in February
Other honorable mentions are: Christmas at the Beach Hut by Veronica Henry, The Swifts by Beth Lincoln and The Strangeworld Travel Agency by L. D. Lapinski
Next up for reading. I got this as a birthday gift a while ago.
so-soI really like Bernie. I feel like he is one of the few politicians who care. And this is a fine enough book, but I wouldn‘t call it “a progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo.” I would call it his ‘presidential campaigns in book form‘.
Of course there is plenty to glean from him, and it certainly raises my sense of a call to action. But ultimately I was hoping more for Bernie the Philosopher instead of Bernie the Politician.
I haven't been great about actually *reading* my #BookSpin/ #DoubleSpin books for several months 😳 but I still 💜 #BookSpin day! Thanks for keeping this going, Sarah! @TheAromaofBooks
Still ignoring all my part read novels for non fiction on #kindle.
Christmas shopping season seems to have triggered my anti consumerist mindset lol.
This is the 3rd edition from 2014. Still has plenty of relevance but will be behind the ever increasing curve, given the horrors of Tik Tok shop, Stanley Cup frenzy etc
pickThis focuses a lot on schools/education, but also discusses the history and current state of each of the suburbs featured. Lots in this book to be frustrated and upset about.
pickIf you have an interest in how our government has become so entrenched in our economy and eroded our private rights, this is your book. It is eye opening to see how they've done it and how so many went along.
panI zoned out a bit while listening to the audiobook so my review is not to be trusted!
