It's My Country Too: Women's Military Stories from the American Revolution to Afghanistan | 
Choice: Listen to Trump's one propaganda speech about his stupid wall and count the lies, or try to finish the last 87 pages of this. Not a hard choice really, but a very apt title. I feel like our country is adrift, being pulled this way and that by two political parties more interested in gaining/maintaining power than helping the American people.

I don't usually do actual tbr piles because I have shelves full waiting to be read. Since I am trying to cut down on my book buying, I thought I would try making a tbr pile as a goal. Each time I want to begin a new book I will have to consult my pile first. I included many different types since I am a mood reader. Wish me luck!
I picked up my other special order book today. (It doesn't count as a purchase if you have a gift card right?) One of the authors is a former Marine. Those are my boots from when I was in the Corps. They carried me through boot camp and beyond. I'm really looking forward to digging into this one. #semperfi
Struggling with this ARC and I hate when this happens. This isnt even a bad book the way it's formatted though doesn't do it any favors. It introduces a person and then you read a small section of their memoir/diary/journal/news article and then you jump into the next one. It feels slightly disconnected at times and I'm having to take frequent breaks... must change how I read this...
Starting this today! Very eager to read about these women's story. Give credit where credit is due. Women have always served in one capacity or another, officially or unofficially.
Did anyone else know that Louisa May Alcott was an Army contract nurse? I sure didnt...
