I annotated the shizz out of this book, and it brought me back to my days of teaching The Crucible, focusing on the harmful power of fear and how quickly people‘s common sense can be swept away and replaced with rumor-fueled hysteria. There‘s a lot to be said about the way the world treats our girls, especially those with grit and courage. The cover is perfection; this reading experience has been perfection. Loved every minute.

My very favorite episode of Lucy, L.A. At Last!

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe yes!!! He and Cary Grant are my 2 faves from Old Hollywood. I fell in love with Mr. Holden watching this episode long before I started watching classic movies. He was a great actor. 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue me too! They‘re the best ♥️♥️♥️ 1mo

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 I was just looking for something to watch, too. I think I'll hit Lucy up. 🥰 1mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 And so damn sexy... just like Cary. I loved him in SABRINA, and I loved that he was with Stefanie Powers at the end of his life (adore her in HART TO HART). 1mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I LOVE Sabrina. They were in love with each other during the filming and he was going to leave his wife for her but he had had a vasectomy and Audrey wanted children. There‘s a really good book about it

No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson | Gardiner Harris

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Current front runner for my best nonfiction read of 2025. This is going to piss you off, but it‘s an important read, so please I urge you to pick it up. So many scandals. These companies DO NOT CARE. They just don‘t. Please also add Empire of Pain by the incredible Patrick Radden Keefe to your TBR, if you haven‘t read it yet.

#coverlove

Amiable Reading this right now! And I wholeheartedly second your recommendation of “Empire of Pain” —that is a fabulous, infuriating read. 1mo

JenReadsAlot Empire of Pain was excellent @Amiable 1mo

britt_brooke @Amiable @JenReadsAlot I had the pleasure of hearing him speak and get my book signed. I still need to read Say Nothing, but Empire of Pain and Rogues were excellent! 1mo

Amiable @britt_brooke “Say Nothing” is also great! And the series adaptation of it on FX/Hulu was fantastic. 1mo

Gabriel's Moon | William Boyd

pick

My first taste of William Boyd, and I rather enjoyed it. The main character is, for the most part, a likeable character - apart from when he seem to go a bit mad and out of character, turning into a mad stalker for an entire chapter. Do all of Boyd‘s books have a disturbing obsession with sex filtering through?

Book 59/80 #Read2025 @DieAReader

Cuilin Love Boyd!! He‘s quite prolific. I‘ve read about seven of his and there‘s about another seven I want to read. Lol 3mo

TheEllieMo @Cuilin I will definitely read more of his on the strength of this one. Apparently he intends to make this the first of a trilogy. 3mo

Cuilin Well I guess #stacked is the right choice then. 👍 3mo

The Master: A Novel | Colm Toibin

Happy Birthday Colm!! Look who you share a birthday with @dabbe

The only change I would make is swap out The Testament of Mary for House of Names. I haven‘t read Long Island yet. Great list!!

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Thanks!! I have never heard of this writer! 3mo

dabbe @Cuilin #stacked! 3mo

rwmg I haven't read many of his: Brooklyn, House of Names, and The Shortest Day (a short story). I think House of Names should have been included but I haven't read the others, so I don't know which I would leave out. The Shortest Day was an effective, creepy story set on Dec. 21st.

House of Names: A Novel

Cuilin @rwmg Agree. I loved House of Names, it definitely should have been included. 3mo

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

I‘m a nonfiction geek, so these are the books that come to mind for when I need an emotional pep talk: Historians of fascism offer their guides to surviving and resisting America‘s recent turn towards authoritarianism. Because those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Thanks for the tag, @Chrissyreadit !

Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers | Caroline Fraser

When you‘re at the airport and you already have a loaded iPad and a paperback in your bag, but you can‘t resist picking up one of the books that made NPR‘s list of best nonfiction reads for summer 2025.

AmyG I just fot this one. I can‘t wait to read it. Safe travels and Happy Reading! (edited) 3mo

Amiable @AmyG I didn‘t even realize until I bought it that it‘s the same author who wrote “Prairie Fires” —so now I‘m more excited! It‘s bound to be very well written. Even though that book made me dislike Rose Wilder immensely. 😖 3mo
