Book no 1 from my #10beforetheend picks.

This was gearing up to be a pick but I found a couple of the latter chapters sketchy and sadly lacking. Still enjoyed the earlier chapters on media moguls which is clearly where O'Brien has the most knowledge and experience

@ChaoticMissAdventures

Cuilin I don‘t know much about him but I‘ve seen him push callers on his show to answer questions. I think he‘s got good journalistic integrity. He also doesn‘t let politicians get away with not answering the question. If only all journalists did this. 2w
Balibee146 @Cuilin yeah he has done some good work holding politicians feet to the fire... Though my fab is still Eddie "you're a nasty price of work aren't you?" Mair.I have more of a ? around O'Brien after he remained pretty silent during the Sangita Myska situation at LBC.. But there was a lot to like here. 2w
Balibee146 Typo hell lol *fav and also *nasty piece of work... 2w

Luke-XVX He‘s well informed but so bloody smug at times.I did enjoy him trashing Farage on air recently, I laughed my arse off 2w
Balibee146 @Luke-XVX there's a transcript in the book of an old clash between him and Farage which is rather satisfying. 2w
Luke-XVX That‘ll do it!! 2w

Starting a bit of non fiction... Not expecting any new revelations I wasn't aware of but sure having it synthesised into one place is going to get me #raging

Part of my #10beforetheend list so I may be a little early but wanting some non fiction on #kindle today, as it is so dark and dreary here today.

@ChaoticMissAdventures

ChaoticMissAdventures Dark money and politics, seems to be happening so many places, that and old politicians who refuse to give up power. This sounds interesting! Good job getting a jump start. 3w

I am not a fan of the Johnson family but a friend gave me this to read and I felt I had to at least try and read it ! I then found myself in a position where I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn‘t put it down ! I was not expecting that …. It‘s sort of a spoof on the 2016 Brexit referendum, Russian involvement and USA presidential election - very close to the bone at times and fascinating reading .

I read this book on the 21st of September to officially get ready for the fall. I loved the tone of this book, making me feel like it was fall. Does that make sense? The way this book moved was melancholy, bittersweet, and optimistic. It was a quick read and got me fully into the fall spirit!
