My audio hold came in yesterday and I just finished another audio today ( Nanette - still thinking about my feelings on that one) Anyway, I‘m curious to learn about Cornelius, the “Commodore” Vanderbilt and the making of his vast fortune and large brood. Might be able to use for #52Books23 #RoaringTwenties 😁
Lindy Nanette gave me a lot of feelings too. 2y
CBee I‘d listen to Anderson Cooper read the phone book 😊😂 2y
Megabooks I found the parts about his mother most interesting. 👍🏻👍🏻 2y

Cinfhen So far it‘s a little “dry” @Megabooks feels more like a history book and less like a family story but I still enjoy the gilded age of NY 2y
Cinfhen True @CBee Anderson is great company 🧡 2y
Cinfhen Im really torn over the Hannah Gadsby memoir @Lindy I still need to process my thoughts and feelings 2y
CBee @Cinfhen I‘ve loved him since Channel One news - it was the news channel that was broadcast into schools? He and Lisa Ling were both on it 😊 2y
Megabooks @CBee I was obsessed with them both too. I‘ve been really happy to follow their careers over the years. 2y
CBee @Megabooks oh my gosh you too?? How cool 😊😊😊 I was probably one of the only kids in my homeroom who actually watched the news 😂 2y
vivastory @Megabooks @CBee Channel One 👏👏 2y
CBee @vivastory you too?? YESSSSS 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 2y
vivastory @CBee My memories of the fall of the Berlin Wall & the fall of the Soviet Union are largely from Channel 1. My school even had it's own student run version of Channel 1 that would make a segment every quarter, lol 2y
CBee @vivastory nice! I didn‘t have it before junior high so I wouldn‘t have seen the Berlin wall coverage, unfortunately. Wish I had! 2y
Cinfhen I LOVE all this #NerdyNostalgia @Megabooks @vivastory @CBee no Channel 1 in my HS but I can see why the networks and school system would have selected Anderson Cooper & Lisa Ling 😍 2y
CBee @Cinfhen we just sort of took over the comments with our #nerdynostalgia 😂😂 That might be my new favorite hashtag 🤓 2y
