Do not miss this book! Dave did a great job covering these amazing teens first year of activism, and how they are working to change the country into one without lockdown drills. These are kids that were never alive before Columbine. That just boggles my mind. These kids are amazing!! 5+⭐️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I felt the same way reading Glimmer of Hope, I‘ll have to check this one out too. 5y
Megabooks Oh awesome! Thanks for the recommendation! 5y
JenReadsAlot I used my audible credit for this. 5y

Megabooks @JenReadsAlot I did too. It works well as an audiobook, IMO! 5y
Amiable Good suggestion for the “movement” category—thanks! 5y
Megabooks @Amiable You‘re welcome! I hope you like it! 5y
Reviewsbylola Stacking! 5y
Reviewsbylola Oh wow, and I just saw Cullen is the author. He did an amazing job with Columbine. 5y
Megabooks @Reviewsbylola Yes he did! He approaches the book with the same keen eye, but it is more about the March for Our Lives movement than the shooting/shooter. 5y

Guinn takes a difficult, depressing subject and picks all its pieces apart so it‘s easier to understand. Or at least as much as possible, given the subject. Jim Jones was a megalomaniac who closely controlled the lives of about 1000 people. It‘s a tragedy of one man‘s making, despite his early intentions to bring God and equality to marginalized communities.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Here‘s the podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/transmissions-from-jonestown/id1308803723?mt... I‘m still trying to get up my courage to listen to Jones‘ “Death Tape,” recorded before and during the suicide. 5y

Cinfhen Well done, Barb 🙌🏻 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Thanks! It wasn‘t an easy book, that‘s for sure. 5y
BeansPage Oooo 😗 this is on my TBR list!!! 😍 5y
alisiakae I‘m curious how this works for #readingwomen when the author is male? 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Well, shoot ... I looked at one of their graphics, which doesn‘t mention this fundamental cross-prompt rule. I didn‘t look further, which is where the “by or about women” rule is shown. 😳 (I do have to say that SO many of Jones‘ followers were women, and quite a lot of time is spent on his wife. So maybe I could stretch this. But, most likely, I will pick another book. Thanks, A! 5y
alisiakae Maybe I misunderstood! I thought they had to be by women, not just about. But I was basing that off something someone said in the RWC GR group. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Here‘s the page with all the prompts. About halfway down is he sentence that says by or about. https://www.readingwomenpodcast.com/reading-women-challenge-2019/ 5y
