Slenderman | Kathleen Hale

This is my #JanuaryPick for my #BookBracket2024. The book has so much insight into the mental health and correctional world. Such a harrowing story, but so worth the read.

jlhammar I agree! One of my top reads from last year. 3mo

ElizaMarie @jlhammar it was just so much! Like I knew the story from podcasts, 20/20, etc. But this book really put a lot of things into perspective. 3mo

The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy | Michael Lewis

#bookclub #Januarypick #nonfiction
Reading this today. Disturbing, harrowing, eye-opening. Lewis writes of Trump‘s transition or lack there of & his ignorance, lack of curiosity, destructiveness towards science, project management- just plain interest/understanding of how major government departments work to keep us safe.(Dept if Energy, USDA so far)All he has defunded, dismantled. 😱😡😲

saresmoore Isn‘t it terrifying?! My husband is reading it and sharing the high(low)lights with me. That‘s about all I can stomach... 5y

ColleenIsReading I‘ve seen that book mentioned in so many places, often with illustrations of the cover, but I just now realised that it‘s a Jenga game! Appropriate metaphor... 5y

kspenmoll @ColleenIsReading How perfect! 5y

kspenmoll @saresmoore It‘s really really hard to stomach. I can only read in spurts. If not for book club I may have not heard the stomach or forage to read it. 5y

My_novel_obsession I read this one - it was terrifying and infuriating at the same time! 5y

kspenmoll @Anovelobsession I am not halfway in yet, but it does make me want to work on the upcoming election already. Totally infuriating & terrifying! 5y

Suet624 Ugh. 5y
