Well, at least JoCo did that. (I didn't even know since I went offline immediately after.) Too bad it wasn't enough to carry the whole state (and country- ha!).
Keep protesting JoCo! I'll join you soon!

February Reading Stats from @thestorygraph.com

All four of the physical books were tagged wrong. I have to get better about marking the correct edition. Two were audio and two were digital.

Concurrently listening to @malcolmgladwell.bsky.social's Revenge of the Tipping Point, and I have to say: if you are interested in this book at all and do not have hearing problems, you HAVE to listen to the author read his own book. You will just miss too much if you don't.

Up next, Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by #TaliaHibbert.
I read Get a Life Chloe Brown by the same author a few years ago, and I quite liked it so I'm expecting to enjoy this lighter read.

6+ years ago I made a concerted effort to diversify the authors I read. Over the ensuing years my #diverseauthor reading has dwindled (partly due to all my #cozymysteryseries), so #blackhistorymonth is a perfect time to renew that effort. Starting today:

Finished this week:
The Couples Trip
Gave it three stars because of the ending (hated it), but honestly, if the ending had been tied up in a neat, clear bow, I'm not sure it would have garnered a much higher rating anyway.

This was a surprise.
First I was hating it. The characters, Liesl's co-workers & U President were just so awful to her. I thought, I can't deal with this for an entire book.
But it quickly became more interesting.
