Welcome to Litsy!

We had a great bonus meeting of #ThePoconoBookClub today 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Every other month, we are reading a series of 5 books to help members acquire a more knowledgeable background of the politics, economy, sociology, and history of the US since this is a major election year. This was the first of the 5, and everyone really enjoyed it! I had a delicious grilled cheese-bacon-apple sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries, & chicken barley soup. 😋

Dessert, is sugar donut puffs. MMMMmmm 😋! This has been another presentation of: #MrBookBookBabeKitchen. Happy reads & happy eats! 😎👌🏻

#Bookhaul 2/2 😁! I‘ve never seen the number and variety of deals like this at any brick-&-mortar bookstore at any one time, it was 😳😱🥳! Wondering if they‘re trying to clear out their 2019 overstock. Whatever it is, if you live near a B&N and have a few bucks to spare, head on over!

Have you read any of these?!

When all else fails, the Meg handbook says "Go nonfiction." ???

Finished this book and am uncertain what I think. The authors central theme is that the only motivation which drives a leader in any political system is maintaining themselves in power and exploiting the position for the maximum possible gains. The only variable is the constraints of the political system in which they operate. Why the ambivalence? Because the author makes a convincing argument, an argument that I truly do not wish to be true.
