The Federalist Papers: Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay | Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay, Ian Shapiro

I just opened some book mail to discover this atrocity. 😭 I hope it comes off.

marleed Ohh that‘s bad😟 20h

Ruthiella Yikes! It‘s huge. Using a blow dryer to loosen the stickum often works for me. 19h

dabbe They owe you a virgin book! 😱 12h

TheBookgeekFrau 😲🤯🤬 And to add insult to injury, it's upside down! 11h

bookandbedandtea @marleed @Ruthiella @Deblovestoread @nanuska_153 @dabbe Fortunately, it came off pretty easily and didn't damage the cover. But sheesh! 9h

bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Right?! As if it isn't horrifying enough to slap an enormous sticker smack in the middle of the cover they also had to put it upside down?? 🤦‍♀️ It came off pretty easily, though, so all is well. 8h

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea Oh good! Because that was a pretty bad case of book abuse. 5h

nanuska_153 I actually just noticed it's the federalist papers, that's such an interesting read (I love Constitutional Law). Are you going to listen to Hamilton while reading it? 😂 (Also love musicals xD) 3h

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ March 2025 Bookclub Pick

First half better than the 2nd half. Enjoyed that the author came with facts and made historical comparisons. Did not expect it to predict current day issues despite being published in 2017.

Glyph | Percival Everett

Honestly, this one is tough. I don‘t think I want to be as smart/clever as this one might require. Did I read every word on every page? No, I did not. Am I glad I attempted? Sure. 😐 If you want to be a Percival Everett completist, I recommend a good trial looksee at the format or trap yourself on a beach with no other books, maybe. 😂 It is absurdist philosophy or true brilliance, if you dare trust this poor simpleton‘s opinion. It is amusing…

BkClubCare And the Iris are part of the story!! #Apr2025 Book40 (edited) 2d

Ruthiella I hear ya! I think sometimes he‘s too smart for me too. 1d

Meditations | Marcus Aurelius

Great day! Canceled therapy because I didn't want to talk about issues. Meditated, read a book on grief, and went to Starbucks instead.
