Welcome to Litsy!

Remember my #readthecandidates challenge. The best part of it was that I found Pete Buttigieg. I was all in #teampete right up til the End. So when I saw this book coming out I knew I needed to read it ASAP. It did not disappoint. Chasten is SO real! He is honest and hilarious, but his life has NOT been easy. This book made me feel like I know him. So good, and it made me cry a few times too!

Here‘s my updated bingo board for #NonFictionChallenge2020 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa
I made good progress this month, although a few books were really stinkers 😖
I did appreciate Votes for Women, American Pain, The Only Plane in the Sky and The Girl Who Escaped ISIS.
I need ideas for the remaining prompts, if anyone has suggestions 🙏🏻

Decided to start reading this #candidate #memoir, and then he dropped out of the race today. Hope it wasn‘t because I picked his book! #readthecandidates #nonfictionchallenge2020 #somethingaboutacandidate

And I managed 6 this past year for @MelissaSue81 ‘s #ReadTheCandidates, but I‘ll admit, there a few more I still want to read in 2020

#booked2019 was my final challenge of the year to complete. I met all my goals! Have exceeded my goodreads goal of 200 books (was shooting for 250 but I won‘t make it, it was a tough fall). Completed #readharderchallenge , #readingwomenchallenge, #mmdchallenge, #booked2019 and Basically all of #readthecandidates (I admittedly have skipped some of the candidates that don‘t have a real shot). It‘s been a good year!

This was my #bookgiftedtome for #booked2019 and also an entry for my #readthecandidates challenge. I actually really enjoyed this. Joe Biden shows his humanity in this story of a terribly difficult time in his life with the loss of his son.i see the appeal of Joe Biden when I see this side of him. It was terribly sad at parts but yet ended on a hopeful note. Was on the fence about this one but glad I listened to it.

My #NovemberWrapUp! I‘m on track to finish The Last Jedi tonight, so it‘s on here.🤞

Otherwise 5 for #NFNov, plus a few that cross-counted for #Booked2019 #Nonfiction2019 & #ReadTheCandidates
3 buddy reads #FellowshipOfTolkien #StarWarsBuddyRead & #PratchettPosse or #OokBOokClub
1 for #LMPBC
2 series completed
+whatever else floated my boat this past month. 😂

November you went by way too fast, how did we get this close to the end of the year😱

I‘ve read a lot with #ReadTheCandidates, but Warren is the first that I went back for a second book. She does a great job of laying it all out here, both her ideas & what shaped them. What we‘ve done right, where we went off track, & the forces steering the decisions. Her past as a teacher shines through here, explaining things in a great, easy to understand way. This book is so good and stark, but filled with determination and hope to make..⤵️

I watched the Sunday shows again today (This Week & Meet the Press) and the cable networks after the debate and again I heard about how she‘s too liberal/left or else they talk about Biden, Bernie, and Buttigieg and don‘t even mention her name.... but for me, watching them all and reading a bunch of them this year with #ReadTheCandidates I think she has more widespread appeal than they are giving her credit for. Some Trump voters voted for ⤵️
