Welcome to Litsy!

Wow. This was eye opening. It should be required reading. The affordable housing crisis is a serious problem. I read this for the now defunct #SocialAwarenessBookClub, and I am so glad that is did.

And Evicted has become the first (and hopefully only) casualty of the #holdalanche. I had four holds come in within two days of each other and I officially can‘t keep up. I was looking forward to reading Evicted, but since (unlike the other three) it has a short wait list and I‘m not sure if the #SABC group I was reading it for is even a thing anymore, I‘ve decided to return it for now and check it out again another time.

Squeezing in one more before the end of the month. This was riveting! I had never heard about the Osage ‘Reign of Terror‘ until this book. Grann does a great job of building a story and making history come alive. This is a story of greed and prejudice and hubris in a veritable Wild West. There is also some background of the development of the FBI into a more professional organization, but, to my mind, not enough to warrant the subtitle. 4⭐️ #SABC

Wow. Just wow. This book was well written, well researched, and absolutely horrifying.

This book is really well written and easy to read in that way but the content inside makes it a hard read.
It‘s the sort of history that everyone should know but don‘t and will make your heart sink.
I don‘t think I would have picked this up on my own so I‘m really glad for #sabc putting this on my radar.
I‘m kinda just lost for words after this.

Sure. Blow my mind and then quote Shakespeare. I see what you‘re doing here, Grann.

This book was heartbreaking and infuriating. How white people could view the Osage as if they weren‘t even human makes me livid. And how recently it all occurred. #SABC #16of65

This guy seriously reminds me of my uncle. 🤣 The mustache. The smirk. Similar facial shape.

Because it‘s not bigotry if it‘s for Jesus. 🙄

Started my #SABC book because it finally came in on Libby today. It‘s fascinating so far.
