We learned a lot about book programs designed to provide reading material for soldiers during WWII. You wouldn‘t think it could possibly be a political issue but it was. One of the programs even got entangled in a voting bill. After we finished that, we started Rachel Maddow‘s Prequel, and I listened to Deanna Raybourn‘s A Curious Beginning on my #audiowalk. The Blue Angels were practicing above us.

Blueberry The Blue Angels were practicing above me too! Are you in the Bay Area or do they have more than one set of Blue Angels? 2h

I devoured this book. Part genealogical mystery, part loving mémoire, part philosophy of war and empire, it was shot through with Palin‘s intelligence and humor. Thanks to my cousin @barbwire for a lovely birthday present.

This telling of world history by focusing on ruling families (rather than only rulers) is fascinating but my main take away so far is that it was very dangerous to be a member of a ruling family. The source of the danger most often being other members of said family.

AllDebooks Brilliant review 😅 16h
TheBookgeekFrau Yeah, I got that when I read about Cleopatra. Talk about your sibling rivalry!! 😱😬 14h

bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Yep, they were one of the families that was just covered (I'm only up to about 30 AD- this is very thorough!) and it was wild! 11h

#weeklyforecast I have the tagged on audio for #BookedInTime made a huge dent in it yesterday while doing chores around the house, and am really enjoying it. Once I finish it I have A Day In The Life of Abed Salama.
Picking away at the Women's Prize, started The Maiden and so far I am liking it more than I thought I would.
