#BookSpinBingo #BlameItOnLitsy started this morning

Deblovestoread It is so good, I learned a ton. 3d
TheBookgeekFrau @Deblovestoread The learning is real!! 3d
ncsufoxes Lawmakers should have this as required reading, maybe they‘d have better insights into what many people in the US face 2d
TheBookgeekFrau @ncsufoxes Agreed!!! Though part of me thinks they either wouldn't believe, or are laughing even louder all the way to the bank. 2d

thebacklistbook
All the President's Men | Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein

Donald Trump has Swiss cheese where his brain ought to be. To flagrantly supercede congress in an open hostile act, likely causing a war he won't live long enough to see. Illegal, unconscionable, and Un American. More below.

thebacklistbook The ramifications of this knee jerk decision will be felt for hundreds of years. A good proportion of my education is in political science and cultural anthropology. I am qualified to say this. We are screwed. The only saving grace now is if cooler heads prevail in Iran. 3d
dabbe “Cooler heads” in Iran? No wonder I‘m beyond terrified. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 🎯🩵🎯 3d
kspenmoll Itis, he is, horrifying. He is putting the world at risk. 2d

I adored this book and cried at the end. I love epistolary novels because of how the reader gets to piece the story together from what is included in each letter. Sybil, the title character, lives through her letters to family, friends, authors, and people from her past. There‘s a lot of sadness in this book, be warned! But I could‘ve stayed with Sybil through many more letters.

BarbaraBB Me too!! Loved her and this book so much! 4d

I shouldn‘t have laughed out loud because it‘s not REALLY funny, but… #lawless #scotus #badvibes #leahlitman #americanpsycho

This is all so spot-on that it‘s painful. It still feels so surreal that we live in a world where the highest court in the land rules not in the interest of justice, but at the whims of a petty wannabe-dictator. 🫠 #lawless #scotus #leahlitman #badvibesindeed

A truly heartbreaking account of the many, many women abused, neglected, raped, and killed by the Kennedy clan. Alongside the well known Jackie, Carolyn, and Marilyn are several others whose names are lost to history but whose lives were forever altered by Kennedy men. Just another sad reminder that men with wealth, power, and family clout have been getting away with the most egregious behavior for decades.

squirrelbrain Sounds fascinating, if 😠- stacking. 6d
tpixie Well said 6d
TrishB Have this on pile 👍🏻 6d
HeatherBookNerd @squirrelbrain @tpixie @TrishB it‘s fascinating all right, and immensely disheartening. 5d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sybil is in het 70s and writes letters. To everyone. Through these letters we get to know her and she‘s a wonderful wonderful person. The sorrows, the joy, the books she reads, the friendships, the struggles, the past and the present. Highly recommended, my favorite of the year so far!

It reminded me of Fresh Water for Flowers. Don‘t want to be too pushy but I will tag some people who l think will love this one!
