Decided to start reading this #candidate #memoir, and then he dropped out of the race today. Hope it wasn‘t because I picked his book! #readthecandidates #nonfictionchallenge2020 #somethingaboutacandidate

TheBookHippie I do enjoy him. I heard him speak and talk about his grandma‘s influence on his life, it was really good. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheBookHippie Nice! I think he still has a lot of work to do in the Senate. 5y
Peaceful_Reader I want to read this also. Pete‘s book was the best candidate book although I‘ve not read Bernie. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Peaceful_Reader I loved Pete‘s book also. The book by Bernie that I read was very much a campaign piece. Have already heard most of it. 5y
LauraJ @BarbaraTheBibliophage Agree. He‘s young and isn‘t going away anytime soon. 5y
