Welcome to Litsy!

Too much memoir and nice-nice bipartisan talk; not enough policy. It's not bad; it's perfectly fine. She's possibly the least charismatic/interesting politician I've read so far. Obviously, I won't disqualify her from consideration; she's just not at the top of my list *based on this book*. [I'll do more research on her if she's still in contention come voting time.] Apropos of nothing, I always enjoy a mention of one of my ex-boyfriends.

This book was a bit disappointing< i thought I would come away with a understanding of what Amy Klobuchar policy focus was. Instead I came away knowing more about her journey to the senate, which seems okay but didn't give me a good understanding of what she is passionate about and what is informing her decisions, as she runs for president. Maybe a decent book for people who don't care about her presidential ambitions.

Starting listening to this book, its not bad but i was hoping for more of an understanding of her policies. I am a little disappointed that she hasnt focused on that as much.

Anyway! #BookFitnessChallenge #BFC19 #BookNerdHerd

This was a decent political memoir for #readthecandidates Klobuchar is definitely a successful senator. She wrote this book before Trump, and spends a lot of time talking about bipartisanship and compromise and seems to take pretty moderate positions on a lot of things. A lot of the bills she started seemed to be on common sense things that would obviously garner bipartisan support. I wonder if she would be less bipartisan now.
