James Madison: A Biography | Ralph Louis Ketcham
post image
Mehso-so

⭐️⭐️Every year, for the last 4 years, I listen to a presidential biography. They are generally harder works for me to get through, but this one proved almost impossible.
A lot comes down to the audio narrator who honestly sounds like a computer reading the book - so much so that I at first looked it up to make sure it was actually a human. And for THIRTY EIGHT HOURS, that‘s a lot. This book did too much & with a very difficult narrator.

Fairly technical Constitutional law perspective rather than pure history.

I was a tried-and-true American Girl fan way back when as a 90s kid, but since she made her debut, I have been thinking I need to check out #Melody, a Detroit girl from the 1960s. Has anyone's kid read these? What did they think? #AmericanGirl #JamminJune #MittenLitten #BlackStoriesMatter

Eggs My girls had American Girl dolls and stories and loved them (me too). Melody looks wonderful 🤗 4y
Andrea313 @Eggs Did you daughters have any favorites? I grew up on the original 3 girls and have read stories from some of the subsequent characters over the years, but haven't kept up in the past decade. However, a girl from my hometown in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement? Yes please! 4y

My daughter Zoey and I thought it would be a good idea to dive into our #ReadYourSign challenge, since we‘re both going to try and read one book for every prompt. I‘m tackling prompt 1: a book published between 4/20 & 5/20 b/c I‘m a ♉️ (pub. 5/6) Zoey started and FINISHED prompt 3 for ♌️: A book with your zodiac symbol in the title/on the cover/heavily mentioned. (Mine will help me cross one more book off my Presidential Biographies list too!)

Meaw_catlady Woohoo! ❤️ 4y

Day 1 of the #24b4monday II for me. Lots of reviewing, but a good day. Thank you, @SquidgetsRoom @Andrew65

(Photo will not post; I am at 8:03:08.78; a freaking miracle.)

Andrew65 That‘s brilliant, well done 👏👏👏 5y
GHABI4ROSES Now to do it again, although I am on the road for a lot of today, to drive to the Exam Center😱 Rain is expected here in LA, and it gets pretty apocalyptic with how my peers will suddenly drive 😂 5y

DieAReader He comes back on the 3rd so I‘ll be doing some housework next week off & on. The state of my back pain will pretty much delegate how much I can accomplish before next weekend. I‘d love to do another #Readathon with you if I can! We‘ll chat long before that & work things out 😉🥰📚🎶 5y
GHABI4ROSES We ALWAYS figure it out🥰🥃 5y
Andrew65 Good luck to you for the Readathon, and also with your studying and the big event next week. Sending positive thoughts. 😊👍 5y
GHABI4ROSES Thank you so much for this, @Andrew65 , this holding pattern needs to be broken. It honestly took the Goodreads groups and Litsy to show me that I really do want my life back! 5y
Linsy You can do it! 👍 5y
GHABI4ROSES Thank you, today has been a good one‼️ 5y

#RedRoseSeptember Day 6: #ChippyTea reminded me of this novel reviewed by Fats: “If you‘re into tea, then you might like this book. I‘m not big on tea but, given the way that the story was “packaged,” I would be pouring myself a cup in no time. The layout of the story is what stood out for me. Each chapter begins with a tea-related quote, and I‘m a sucker for quotes.” Her full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7SW

arlenefinnigan Nice 😉 5y
LeahBergen I love that old tea ad! 5y
Cinfhen That‘s an awesome book cover!!! 5y
