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

My November pick for #12Booksof2024 succinctly and elegantly describes the situation we're in, and offers real strategies for facing it with integrity. For me it has provoked much thought, many conversations, and practical preparations. I don't want this to be the best book I read in 2024, but right now it feels like it may be

Really liked this book and one that I have often thought about over the course of the past 10 months since I finished it. #12booksof2024

(2017) Here's a compact handbook to living with integrity in a collapsing/collapsed democracy. I have a dreadful feeling Snyder's advice will have multiple practical applications very soon. Thank goodness it exists.

Small acts of resistance: community, love, joy. Read the books they want to ban, speak to the people they want to silence, view what they want to stay hidden. Always question. Know your worth. Support those in need where you can.

I still struggle with words for what is happening. To those struggling with me: I see you.

Wigs on the Green | Nancy Mitford

bailed

I think Nancy Mitford‘s life and family are fascinating, and I wanted to read this book because it upset her family when it was published, especially the Nazi sympathizer members. She refused to let it be reprinted in her lifetime, partly because of the mediocre sales numbers and reviews, but mainly because she wanted to keep the peace within her family. I bailed. She‘s a good writer but the story and characters just didn‘t keep me interested.
