pick24/150 This should be required reading for every candidate for president. Instead of filling his cabinet with like minded friends and yes men, Lincoln chose his rivals for the presidency and members of the other party to create a cabinet that represented all the people and all the various political view points. It's not hard to understand why Lincoln is ranked #1 in every presidential poll. Goodwin is my favorite writer about presidents.
This was one of my favorite books of '22. Apple has had a fairly good record recently with adaptations, so I'm hopeful with their upcoming adaptation:

Movie: Lincoln
Meet Lady the forever pardoned turkey. All my birds remember last year and are hiding. Lady is never hiding, so I was surprised to see her in the chickens coop. (My birds are free range) 😅🫣 Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates! 🦃🍽
pickThis was both a very easy & a very hard read.The format made it a fast read.But I found the content to be confusing.I had to refer to “Litcharts” several times while reading the book to understand it.The message it delivered was very deep.The way the message was delivered was (for lack of better words) crazy.I don‘t mean that in a bad way. Have you read this book?What do you think? I rated this book a 4 after reading through a summery on litcharts
Taking this energy into a week that opens with Halloween and ends with a birthday. Hope you‘ve got something spooky in your TBR this week. (Or maybe it‘s the TBR itself that‘s spooky—can relate).
pickOne of the most important historical books ever written. Doris Kearns Goodwin creates such a vibrant image of Lincoln‘s life and cabinet. 1000 pages fly by. Truly remarkable stuff.

pickWow!! Just finished the audiobook which has an author interview at the end. I am so happy I finally decided to read this book. Highly recommend. It was fascinating. It made me cry. It made me think about how little time has really gone by from the years of slavery and it made me horrified that it went on a mere 100 years before my birth. I‘m still reading the physical copy bc I want to reinforce some stuff in my brain and write others down.
