Book review #38 for 2024 CW Goodyear's President Garfield glad to see new treatments of Presidents during eras that have often been overlooked. This biography does both. Lots of what ifs in this story. It is also a snapshot, in my opinion, of a transitional period in American government as the boss system begins to crumb @histodons@books@bookstodon#books#bookreview#JamesAGarfield#bookstodon #history
I'm a pretty new fan of Jessie Kwak's books, and she's got a Kickstarter launching today. It seemed a good time to click the post button on a gush-fest:
The next book I’m reading during Pride Month is All Things Seen and Unseen by RJ McDaniel. I borrowed it from the Queer Liberation Library because I wanted someone I could read while on the go.
I’ll rate Delilah Green Doesn’t Care a solid 4.5 ⭐️
I actually really enjoyed this book and (most of) the characters. Isabel Parker-Green ain’t shit though. Terrible stepmother and even more terrible mother.
At the store and came across a pretty discounted hardcover copy of "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver. It is worth purchasing a physical copy? I usually try to stick to library books and purchase books I really like, but the library wait list is long and the price is tempting.
