#majicmonday @Eggs #micdrop

Thanks for the tag, @Meshell1313 ... for you only am I doing. this. 🩵

Honestly? I‘m not really in a celebratory mood this year. It‘s hard to toast a “new beginning” when we‘re watching so many hard-won rights and norms get ripped away by an administration that seems determined to govern through cruelty and chaos. ⬇️

dabbe ... As for 2026 — my hope is pretty basic: accountability, a return to sanity, and people remembering that democracy and decency aren‘t optional. Until then, I‘m more focused on staying engaged, protecting what matters, and supporting the people who are being hurt the most right now than popping champagne. 💙✊🏻💙 17h

SEE THAT ARROW??? I finished! This is monumental 😂😂 So, this one finished in 2011, and how many more volumes is he writing? 😂😂 I mean, I adore him, but he is not known for um, brevity 😂😂 I‘ll still look forward to the others ♥️

peanutnine I thought to was supposed to be two volumes, one for each term, but I agree that it seems as if there will be more 😅 4y

Deblovestoread I‘m so glad we read it this way. Hope we can do the same for the next one. Thanks for hosting! 4y

CBee @peanutnine I was getting close to the end and I thought, wait…. he‘s only gotten to 2011 😂 so I guess either the next volume will be longer (😳) or divided into two? I guess we‘ll see 😂 4y

CBee @Kdgordon88 I‘d love it! I would‘ve never read it had I not broken it up and gone the audio route! Thanks for tagging along on the journey 😊 4y

melissajayne From what I hear is that there are going to be two volumes 4y

peanutnine @CBee to be fair, this one had a lot of lead up to his first term with the election and everything so that added a lot 4y

CBee @melissajayne me too. We shall see how long the 2nd volume is 😁 4y

CBee @peanutnine that‘s true. I‘m so glad I finished it and I definitely learned a lot more about him, it was totally worth it 😊♥️ 4y

Sargar114 Congrats @CBee and thanks for organizing this. I agree the audiobook version and the broken up sections made this much easier to tackle. I would join for the next one if you do so 🙂 4y

CBee @Sargar114 yay! I‘ll definitely do another buddy read once it comes out 👏🏻 4y

OMG 😱 #MicDrop 🎤‼️ WOWZA!!! Did not see that twist coming!!!! This book/ audio is SO GOOD but unnecessarily overwritten. 100 pages could easily have been removed and Im only at 74% completed. Excited to listen to the final 25%!!! #ARC #NetGalley

Riveted_Reader_Melissa This is one of his that I really need to re-read. I‘m fairly sure we read it in school, but I remember almost nothing of the plot. 8y

KVanRead @Riveted_Reader_Melissa All I remembered was the ending and the knitting lol. I never think I‘m a fan of rereads because too many books. But some need to be reread and remembered. 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @KVanRead Very True, and I‘m making an effort especially with ones I either don‘t remember or hated from High School. Different eyes and different experiences seem to change my impressions of at least some of them. 8y
