Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel | Bonnie Garmus

Scientist Elizabeth Zott faces #PowerandCorruption in the lab and the TV industry in the 1950s & 60s as men take credit for her work and threaten her attempts to change the status quo. Almost finished with this #LMPBC selection chosen by @shellleigh33. Thank you! Loving it! I'll send it out tomorrow @smalldogs_bigbooks2419 #ThemedThursday @dabbe

smalldogs_bigbooks2419 This is the one I‘m most excited to read. It‘s been on my TBR for a long time. I‘ve read the first couple of chapters as a sample on Libby. 12mo

dabbe Excellent choice! I just read it not long ago and LOVED it, especially the character Six-Thirty! Thanks! 💚🤗💙 12mo

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo | Stieg Larsson

This one jumped at me, maybe because I just finished it this week.

#ThemedThursday @dabbe

Since it's Friday I'm tagging anyone else who hasn't played yet!

I Must Betray You | Ruta Sepetys

Nicolae Ceaușescu certainly fits the corrupt power theme. Ruta Sepetys marvelous, heartbreaking novel shows us the what it was like to survive in the Romania when it was ruled by this tyrannical dictator.

First one that comes to mind: Animal Farm!!
“All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.”

Power corrupts - absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: A Hunger Games Novel) | Suzanne Collins

In which we see that the abuse of power and corruption started long before the events of the Hunger Games trilogy. #themedthursday

dabbe

dabbe I had not heard of the prequels! I'll have to check them out! Thanks! 💙🤗💚 12mo

Susanita @dabbe I think it‘s just the one? However, I just learned a few minutes ago that there‘s a movie, starring a scary looking Viola Davis among others. 12mo

dabbe @Susanita Interesting. Now, when you say movie, is that an I-have-to-to-to-the-cinema movie or is it an I-can-sit-on-the-couch-in-my-pjs movie? 🤣 12mo

Susanita @dabbe Not sure. It‘s coming out in November but maybe it‘ll stream too? 12mo

dabbe @Susanita I'll be on the lookout! 🤩 12mo
