I‘ve been wanting to read Robert Caro‘s books about Lyndon Johnson for forever —hoping to get a start on the first one before this year is up.

Our local library branch had a used book sale this weekend. My daughter & I stopped by earlier today, towards the end of the sale. We got 5 books for $3. These both were in new condition. Not that I need more but 2 I‘ve never read & happy to support our library.
Overall, a good reading month ;)
pickDefinitely recommend this book if you're interested in politics.
It's a personal account of the 1960s by Doris and Dick Goodwin through their archives: their role, what they thought at the time, how they looked back on it all.
Doris Goodwin's writing is excellent and intimate.
pickI‘ve read some great nonfiction this year, but this was the best of the bunch.
pickI really enjoyed this and even more after meeting her at the national book festival.
pickBest Book of the Year for me! 🤩🙌🏻 A page-turning memoir with a bonus history lesson on the 60s. Imagine going thru 300+ boxes of memorabilia, diaries & archives from this pivotal era and listening to personal & impactful stories by this historian author & her husband who worked closely with such top political figures as JFK, LBJ, MLK and RFK. The parallels between the 60s and our current decade are mind-blowing!
