A very busy week, didn't get to do any reading at all.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening lately?

A reminder about our Book Bingo. Take look, if you haven't already.

I'm finally getting around to this one, and so many who called this a Nothing-burger . . . are still doing that despite all evidence. After Trump called Putin smart for invading Ukraine, and to this day not having a single bad word in his mouth for a murderous authoritarian. The clown can muster insults for dead/captured service members, those with disabilities, anyone he deems weaker than him, anyone who crossed him without adequate leverage. This book helps answer the looming question, of what leverage Putin has on Trump to gag the normal flow of verbal diarrhea.

I finished Rigged by David Shimer just before this one. I really like the style of delivery here where there is seemingly no bias. A lot of quotes in the one I am currently reading, with evidence based context around it. Kind of letting you draw your own conclusions.

I'm only two chapters in thus far, but I'm really enjoying it. I had to reach past Witch Hunt: The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History by Gregg Jarrett to get this one at the library, can only imagine the "facts" in that one.
