Pickpick

I loved this NF book that I added to my TBR following Holly‘s review @Hooked_on_books and thanks to @TrishB for stalking said TBR and sending me it as a pressie!

It‘s a subject I didn‘t know anything about - a security guard at the Atlanta Olympics who saved lives when he spotted a suspicious package, but was then pursued as the only suspect, leaving the actual bomber to wreak more destruction.

Definitely in my #20bestof2020 #NFedition

TrishB Always good when you get a late great read in the year! 3y
Hooked_on_books I‘m so glad you liked it! I remember hearing a bit about the story when it happened, but then it completely went off my radar. I think they were smart to write this years later rather than too soon. It gives it a bit more heft. 3y
Crazeedi I knew about the grave injustice this man suffered. And I think the lawyer who defended him was Lin Wood? Very sad that sometimes the pursuit of justice leads to easy answers instead of the truth . Adding 3y

squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books - you‘re right, a much better book for having waited. The outcome for many of the MCs was sad though. 3y
squirrelbrain Yes, that‘s right Crazeedi, although I just had to look him up as I wondered why you knew him. He‘s certainly had an interesting career! 3y
Oryx I watched a film about this recently - crazy story! Recommend the film - I think it's just called Richard Jewel 3y
squirrelbrain I‘ll check the film out soon @Oryx - hubby said he might try the book but he might prefer the film... 3y
Cinfhen Oh...thanks for reminding me about this book, Helen!!!! 3y

#top10ofthedecade #nfedition

My top ten NF reads of the decade were all books that had the capacity to be too depressing but were too important not to love, and all my hope for the future comes from writers like this speaking truth to power and sharing it with the world. I managed to keep Naomi Klein to just 2 of the 10 but the list was almost only her! Here‘s to another decade of powerful writers changing the world

Suet624 Great list!! 4y
Cinfhen Fantastic list!!! Hoping to get to some of these next year 4y
rockpools I need to read more Naomi Klein - I read No Logo back along, but haven‘t got to any of her newer ones. Hmm. Where to start? 🤔 4y
Emilymdxn @RachelO I would suggest no is not enough as a good one for understanding the political situation in the USA today, or this changes everything for a global focus on climate change. It‘s less depressing than it immediately appears I promise! 4y
rockpools @Emilymdxn Thank you! I think I‘ll try This Changes Everything next then 😊 4y
