pickThis is a history of conspiracy theories centered on the United States, from the founding to the war on terror. It is highly disturbing, interesting and amusing, entertaining even, to see the lengths and mental acrobatics humans will go to in order to make sense of their world in a way which plays to their pre-established fears. While it‘s focused on the US, that‘s not to say that US culture produces more conspiracy theories than any other.
pickEd Brubaker is a mystery master! I was planning on reading one of the three chapters but just read the whole thing. I'm not sure when book three is going to be released, so I might just buy the issues digitally...
#bookspinbingo board for January 2024. Tagged graphic novel and the novella A Song for Quiet are my #bookspin picks, so it should be easy to complete the challenge this month :D @thearomaofbooks
pickConspiracy theories are nothing new and especially not new when it comes to the US government. Dickey traces their development from the founding of the United States up to the present day. Tinfoil hat optional.
Even though I've already finished 2 of these 3 books, I couldn't resist posting this picture. I took it a few weeks ago while spending some quiet time in the backyard.
The Agathas series is probably one of my fave series now. They were so FUN to read!

“We believe, in the defiance of all available evidence, that the arc of history bends not only towards justice, but wisdom and clarity. … American history suggests the exact opposite.”
so-soWhile the author did a ton of research and really dug deep her primary focus was on the deplorable people who call themselves TRUTHERS ( conspiracy theorists) but they are nothing more than troubled, sick individuals who are allowed to spew nonsense - The events at SH were so heinous and then for people to claim SH was a sham is just beyond cruel. My heart broke for the victims families but this book was not the tribute I was expecting. 👇🏽
pickDeliciously deranged in all the right ways.
pickTough read. Glad I listened to this one. There are details of the shooting, but it‘s the stories from the families that truly broke my heart. Focusing on how Alex Jones and his BS machine harassed these families for years. Even with the consequences ALex Jones faces, there are still no happy endings for any of these poor people.
