My favorite book for June was King (I finished it in June). It‘s a chunkster between 600-700 pages. But well worth the read. Definitely learned a lot about King‘s life & what our government was doing to him behind the scenes. #12Booksof2025
Only managed to complete one nonfiction for #NFNovember, but it was a banger!

so-soI don‘t know why but this book annoyed and frustrated me, maybe barring his political views, his personal life was very jarring and hard to digest.
After finishing The Trees, how can I not dive directly into Hellhound On His Trail? The characters in The Trees even make a point of driving by the Lorraine Hotel when they are in Memphis.
Of course the other thing I feel compelled to do after finishing The Trees is research the names he mentions … spent the afternoon yesterday reading about the Rock Springs Riot in Wyoming, which I knew nothing of.
Great spin this month! I‘ve been eyeing this Hampton Sides book about the MLK assassination for months, since I picked it up at a used bookstore. Looking forward to reading it for #NFNovember! And Our Missing Hearts is for my in-person book club this month. #bookspin
pickI got these about 10 years ago when I was visiting Atlanta, GA. While it could be depressing how relevant King's message still is today, his story is nonetheless inspiring, and many of his philosophies are still in practice today, whether intentionally or subconsciously.
Today is also the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. Every vote should count, everyone deserves to have their voice heard. It is vital to our democracy. As certain groups are trying to disenfranchise many groups it is imperative to continue to push back & fight for everyone‘s vote to count. Also F gerrymandering
The current “administration” is evil personified. Every day it‘s a new terror, a new threat, a new worry. They stand for everything that America isn‘t. And anyone who supports this is complicit. #charactercharm #king @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
