One of my favorite books turned into a documentary. It's heavy and intense but so good. I highly recommend both the book It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War and the movie Love and War. I am in awe of Lynsey Addario and the absolutely necessary and stunning work she does. #booksky

Started this as my 3rd book in my goal to understand the ongoing conflict. I’m 20% in & might have to DNF. It’s so textbook-ish & dense, it’s hard for me to get through. I absolutely loved The Lemon Tree & was looking for something similar from a #Palestinian perspective. Any #suggestions? #booksky

Loved it! Easy to read straight through. I definitely learned a few things. A fun way to reacquaint yourself with American history and a great reference book to have around the house. #americanhistory #booksky #nonfiction #read #tbr

Bought this book on a trip to San Francisco. Picking it today! Please teach me how to deal with the reality we are experiencing. When everything is a moral panic & facts can be “alternative” we really need to know how to fight for truth. #booksky #nonfiction #democracy #disinformation #truth

James Madison by Richard Brookhiser 3⭐️’s but I always find it hard to rate books like this. I am happy to be back on my Presidents reading goal. Off to find the best book on James Monroe! Any suggestions that are not 700 pages long? #jamesmadison #uspresidents #nonfiction #booksky

3⭐️’s. The entire series is free on KU. I really enjoyed parts of this series but felt the ending was a miss.

“It’s both a sacrifice and a privilege to be able to take an extended sabbatical. But I know with complete certainty that I will never regret this choice. Money can’t buy back time. You can’t deposit missed birthdays, game nights, or everyday laughs into a savings account.”
