#NonfictionNovember

I‘ve read a few books about Tolkien, Lewis, and the Inklings, and I still thoroughly enjoyed the style and perspective of this book. It‘s not strictly a graphic novel biography as it alternates full pages of text with panels and also includes a few narrative fantasy elements, but it is full of factual information about both writers and their friendship. The art was also great.

Please note: Virginia Robert Guiffre's book“Nobody's Girl“ does not exonerate any of Epstein's associates, including a certain president (who she first met while working at Mar-a-Lago where she also met Ghislaine Maxwell). #SheSaid #NonfictionNovember

In Chapter 38, she actually wrote: “There are other men whom I was trafficked to who have threatened me in another way: by asserting that they will use litigation to bankrupt me. . .

Karisa “One of those men‘s names has come up repeatedly in various court filings, and in response, he has told my lawyers that if I talk about him publicly, he will employ his vast resources to keep me in court for the rest of my life. While I have named him in sworn depositions and identified him to the FBI, I fear that if I do so again here, my family will bear the emotional and financial brunt of that decision. 21h
Karisa “I have the same fears about another man whom I was forced to have sex with many times—a man whom I also saw having sexual contact with Epstein himself. I would love to identify him here. But this man is very wealthy and very powerful. . .“ #epsteinfiles #virginiarobertsgiuffre 21h

AmyG Seems alot is happening quickly. Hoping for justice for all the women as a result of the email dump. 🤞🏻 13h
Karisa @AmyG It‘s so frustrating because watching NBC news and they just said that her book only said good things about Trump. I was like, wait, what? That‘s not exactly right. We don‘t know because she doesn‘t name all the men out of fear, and she‘s only one of many victims. . . 11h
AmyG Fear, exactly. Even Epstein says Trump is as evil as it gets. May he get EVERYTHING he deserves. 10h
Karisa @AmyG 💯% He‘s such a 🤬. It feels like a mockery of our presidency sometimes 10h
Jas16 I was having a hard time reading the way the media was painting was said/ not said about Trump as well. 10h
Karisa @Jas16 They clearly haven‘t read the source they are citing. She‘s not here to rebut it. I‘m hoping the full files including testimony/depositions are are released soon and untampered with so that more of these perpetrators are brought to justice 10h
SamAnne Just started this book last night. Have been out of cell range the last couple days and am out of loop on all that has transpired! Will catch up today. Difficult read. 5h

#TodayILearned about the enormous progress made in antitrust regulation by the Biden administration, primarily because people were fighting hard for it. Going to try to hold onto that optimistic thought because I am, frankly, depressed AF by the actions of the Democrats.

Very readable and interesting book, though I'm not sure that helpful for the average non-techy person.

Sunday morning #BookAndBreakfast

This is a fascinating look at the relationship between Tolkien and Lewis with pages of text and illustration interspersed with full graphic novel panels featuring a lion and wizard. There‘s a lot about their beliefs and writing styles more than events of their lives.

This is an interesting book of short descriptions of women authors of early gothic stories to present day. I don‘t consider myself much of a horror or speculative fiction reader, but I enjoy reading a wide variety. There were several authors I have read and plenty more that piqued my interest. I enjoyed the listen, but a print copy would be ideal for better noting books to add to a TBR.

jewright This one sounds interesting. (edited) 5d
Daisey @jewright It definitely was. I especially enjoyed the earlier history and some of the current authors. 5d
