Impeachment: An American History | Jon Meacham, Timothy Naftali, Peter Baker, Jeffrey A Engel
post image

Did I mention that I love irony? It‘s ironic to me that recording and listening to private conversations created the downfall of Richard Nixon. Here was a president who listened in on his political rivals, denied it for years, then several recorded private conversations admitting what he did was used against him forcing him to resign. #politics #impeachment #jeffreyengel #richardnixon #spying #recording #history #uspolitics #ushistory

Today‘s the day! On Feb 9, 1964 the Beatles performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, watched by 73 million viewers. I‘m celebrating the 60th anniversary with Beatles book bingo! Each square has a Beatles song title. You can fit a book to each square however you want to - be creative and just have fun with it. I‘ll give some examples ⬇️

CSeydel “Yesterday” - can be a book set in the past, a book published in the past, a book that uses flashbacks as a narrative device, etc
“Eleanor Rigby” - a character named Eleanor, author has initials E & R, theme of loneliness, main character is an older woman, etc.
Any way you want to tie it in is fine! This is meant to be casual and fun.

willaful How fun! 9mo
LiseWorks It's amazing with each title I actually sing the song. 9mo

CSeydel Since images aren‘t loading, here is the August prompt in text:

REVOLVER Read a book with a weapon on the cover (gun, sword, knife, etc)
--OR--
"Here, There, and Everywhere" Read a book with a conjunction in the title (e.g. "and", "but," "or")
(edited) 1y
Awk_Word_Smith “Revolver” swaps places with “Rubber Soul” and “Abbey Road” as my favorite Beatles‘s album at any given moment. 1y
CSeydel @Awk_Word_Smith It‘s a good one! 1y

BarbaraBB I finished the whole challenge already 🤦🏻‍♀️ #overachiever 😂 1y
dariazeoli Oooh! *makes hole in the door running to Storygraph* 1y
CSeydel @BarbaraBB Awesome!! 🪲🎸🇬🇧 1y
CSeydel @dariazeoli Welcome!! 1y
CSeydel I need to figure out if there‘s a better way to host it on Litsy. I like StoryGraph‘s challenge format because everyone can go at their own pace, but then I can‘t peep at what everyone‘s reading. But laying out one prompt per month feels too limiting. (edited) 1y
