so-soSeymour Hersh is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist known for his work uncovering the My Lai massacre, the Watergate scandal and the Abu Ghraib war crimes. This memoir focuses on his career and how he broke his biggest stories but offers nothing personal, no analysis of changes in the profession or the ways anonymous sources can be used and misused. I think the book suffers for that, leaving it an okay factual read rather than an insightful one.

A bit of an up and down week… I did finish “Once Upon a Wine”- ⭐⭐⭐
“Land of Love and Drowning” was a quick DNF.
I fell into a bit of a reading slump, but now I‘ve started three new books. 😜

One of the gifts from my most thoughtful friend. She doesn‘t even like reading but knows me so well. Also, I did get the tagged book for #jolabokaflod! Yay!!
Merry Christmas Eve morning in Australia! I can‘t get books to my country town fast enough to participate in #swaps so I make my partner do #Jolabokaflod with me. His is all ready (homemade rocky road!) and I got one for his adult daughter who will be with us tonight. I‘ve tagged the book I hope I‘m getting. Have a great day everyone!!!!

So pleased to finish Our Mutual Friend which I‘d thought would take me another week. Also To be Taught if Fortunate, the Becky Chambers novella - if you like Interstellar (movie) you would like this! I started listening to Cinder on audio. I got the idea from Lauren and the Books (youtuber) to use audio for rereads and its working beautifully for me. I normally struggle with audio but revisiting a beloved book this way is lovely.
This looks good! Legendary journalist who broke many great stories. Adding to my #mustreadlist.
