It was inspiring to hear from Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and local candidates and activists in-person a few hours ago in Salt Lake City, along with 20,000 others.

Here are my books for April #ReadYourEbooks. Three of them have been picked before and I didn‘t read them, so hopefully their time has come this month!

Here‘s my list for April #ReadYourEbooks. After months of ignoring them, I did read one from my list in March!, so I consider that a win! I look forward to see what numbers the spinners come up with tomorrow.

A delightful little collection of essays and columns that were published on a weekly basis over the course of many years in Chris Bohjalian‘s local newspaper in Vermont.
