Bailed a few chapters in, this one is not for me!

pickAwesome book about the life of one of Americas most iconic presidents! Enjoyed the dives into JFKs life history and personal life, and the unbiased history of the assassination itself. Highly recommend!
pickIf you love history, memoirs, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into powerful lives, Clint Hill's Five Presidents is a must-read—or in my case, a must-listen! As a former Secret Service agent, Hill's experiences with presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford are recounted with extraordinary detail. Hill's perspective offers a mix of reverence, heartbreak, and raw honesty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
pickIt‘s not a book I would have picked up on my own, but I really enjoyed it, so thanks, Dad ❤️ It was impressively written by JFK but not about himself. Each chapter is a vignette of a courageous point of a Senator‘s career where he followed his own conscience despite his party or constituents or everyone disagreeing with him. Doing what you feel is the right thing doesn‘t win popularity contests.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read this to round out my Kennedy deep dive. It was, of course, super interesting at times, but insanely long for a book covering a six day period. I slogged through.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. The epitome of a powerful woman. She played the games, and dealt with the consequences, all while looking fabulous. Facetiousness aside, this is the biography of a woman who experienced unspeakable trauma and lived with it the best she knew how for the rest of her days. Yet, I‘m left wondering if she was ever truly happy.
pickThis book makes one heck of a convincing case that the “fatal” JFK shot was the result of a secret service accidental discharge in Dealey Plaza. I checked it out because the author was a lifelong ballistics expert who spent much of his life trying to prove the Warren Commission right…only to finally determine that the evidence pointed to a horrible accident (amidst Oswald‘s attack) that was hushed up to avoid loss of institutional confidence.
Scary times 😢 I didn't vote for this either 📚🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸📚.
Books & artist will always be considered a threat. We should gather and do a protest by going outside, finding a safe, legal place to sit, and read from dawn to dusk for a day. If anything, it will drive the suppressors crazy. Writers should come with typewrites or journals and artist with canvases.
Just to be clear, I am not officially suggesting this 😜📚💝. (edited) 2w
