pickThis book had me reflecting on our country during Lincoln‘s time in office and how divided America was vs the division we face today. I liked hearing about how Lincoln listened and worked with both sides of slavery and differing opinions though I found some of the Civil War battle stuff dry. Since starting this book, I‘ve seen a lot of Lincoln references. Timely indeed and I‘m looking forward to our book club discussion.
Went to the book sale my local library was having last week. It was the last day, so it was fill a bag for $5. Yes, I really enjoy reading about history.
I remember going to book sales at the local library growing up. Always enjoyed it, since I was able to get alot of books to read.
pickGreat fun. I was babbling on about this at one point near 40-50% the way through like I was about Poor Things. I did not expect to like it this much.
pick24/150 This should be required reading for every candidate for president. Instead of filling his cabinet with like minded friends and yes men, Lincoln chose his rivals for the presidency and members of the other party to create a cabinet that represented all the people and all the various political view points. It's not hard to understand why Lincoln is ranked #1 in every presidential poll. Goodwin is my favorite writer about presidents.

Movie: Lincoln
Meet Lady the forever pardoned turkey. All my birds remember last year and are hiding. Lady is never hiding, so I was surprised to see her in the chickens coop. (My birds are free range) 😅🫣 Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates! 🦃🍽
pickOne of the most important historical books ever written. Doris Kearns Goodwin creates such a vibrant image of Lincoln‘s life and cabinet. 1000 pages fly by. Truly remarkable stuff.
