the general vibe at the moment

#bookreview #bookrecommendation 📚💙 WHEN CICADAS CRY by Caroline Cleveland. This is another debut by a lawyer, who, like her protagonist, practices in Charleston, so I’m particularly happy to give this mystery/legal thriller some love. (1/10)

Ask your doctor if shut-thefuck-upping is right for you.

#bookreview #bookrecommendation 📚💙 THE IDEA OF YOU by Robinne Lee. This actually came out in 2017, but I didn’t discover it until the movie version appeared on Prime Video. (1/9)

The only way to rein them in is to stop watching them. Cancel your subscriptions to The New York Times, Washington Post & every other rag that has jumped on the Trump train. When their ratings and profits plummet, they will wake the fuck up.

I'm done with cable news. This Biden must drop out BS is just billionaire owners paying millionaire cable news hosts to spew propaganda.

If Trump gets elected again, killing protestors would be deemed an official act. Let that sink the fuck in.

#bookreview #bookrecommendation 📚💙 REDNECKS by Taylor Brown. This is a nonfiction story about the Coal Wars in WV in the 20s, the subject of the movie, “Matewan” and several documentaries. (1/10)

Realized I forgot to add 📚💙 so am reposting because I want as many people as possible to know about this important book.

#bookreview #bookrecommendation THE DEMON OF UNREST by Erik Larson. This is an exhaustively researched and documented nonfiction masterpiece that is yet another contender for BOTY. Don’t assume this is a boring history book. (1/10)

So, this came today! It’s the bittersweet end of an era. Thanks to Mitchell’s Book Corner for the special edition and to the incomparable Elin Hilderbrand for all the virtual escapes to Nantucket for 20+ years.

#bookreview#bookrecommendation 📚💙 JAMES by Percival Everett. Sometimes when I read buzz books I’m disappointed, but that was not the case with the brilliant JAMES, another 5-star entry in my BOTY competition. (1/9)

#bookreview#bookrecommendation 📚💙 Today I’m doing another twofer, spotlighting the clever writing of Maddie Dawson in SNAP OUT OF IT and LET’S PRETEND THIS WILL WORK. (1/9)

#bookreview #bookrecommendation 📚💙 AFTER ANNIE by Anna Quindlen. I loved this so much! Even though I couldn’t really identify with a single character, I became invested in their stories. The book is somewhat unique in that the title character dies on the first page. (1/8)

#bookreview #bookrecommendation 📚💙THE LITTLE LIAR by Mitch Albom. I’ve read a number of books about WWII, Nazis and the Holocaust. They’ve all been startling, brutal, gruesome, chilling accounts that generated a great deal of revulsion and other negative emotions, along with sympathy and (1/8)

@cpoliticditto.bsky.social FYI, people on Twitter are talking about how much they miss you.

For anyone who followed the Golden Retriever Channel there or here, you may not be aware that bestest boi Kai went OTRB this week. We are all heartbroken and I know Beth would appreciate hearing from you. She did so much to build a great community and is one of the reasons I’ve stayed on Twitter.

#bookreview #bookrecommendation 💙📚 LEAVING by Roxana Robinson. Definitely a book for adults that’s a roller coaster of emotions, unrequited love and family relationships, with a cloud of absence hanging over all. (1/10)

#bookrecommendation #bookreview 💙📚 THE WOMAN THEY COULD NOT SILENCE by Kate Moore. I can’t think of a more fitting way to wrap #WomensHistoryMonth than to bring attention to Elizabeth Packard, a woman whose husband sent her to an insane asylum for having opinions. Yes, you read that correctly. 1)

💙📚 #bookrecommendation #bookreview GO AS A RIVER by Shelly Read. First, this is the most beautifully written novel I’ve read in a long time—as stunning as the Colorado landscape that provides the setting and serves as another character. 1/

💙📚 #bookrecommendation #bookreview THE STORYTELLER by David Grohl (audiobook). Dave himself reads this as if he’s in the same room regaling you with his exploits, but if you’re offended by the f word, you may want to skip this or opt for the printed page, which has the added benefit of pictures. 1/
