I always pick a #Buzzword for the year as a way to attack my TBR. This year it was LAST. Here‘s the result. I think there‘s about 8 more on the shelf with LAST in the title so I could use the same word next year.

The Last Days of Night is historical fiction about the rivalry between George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison during the early electric wars. Young attorney Paul Cravath is determined to win a high-stakes light bulb patent lawsuit, no matter the cost. Fans of The Gilded Age will enjoy this business-focused story featuring real figures like Nikola Tesla and J.P. Morgan. A fun read about invention, ambition, and legacy.

I knew very little about this topic. The history of electricity, the battle between AC and DC. I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend checking it out.

Cuilin Sounds fabulous!!! ✅🎉 Love this post pic. (edited) 1mo

#LitsyMail Thank you for my tote. It's so cute. @Blerdgal_Fenix

I found four books at my local library sale yesterday. Not bad for $3. All historical fiction, my favorite genre. #LibrarySale
