Fort Myers FL had best turnout yet!
Books I read in June. I truly enjoyed each one…except 1984 was a bit difficult to get through because it felt too real!

Fantastic turnout in Fort Myers, Florida. In this big retirement area, we had a huge increase in young people and people of color compared to previous. There was also a continuous parade of cars with signs that drove past honking horns.

I never read these kinds of books, but a dear friend sent it to me, so I’m going to give it a shot.

Best turnout in Fort Myers ever. Protesters on both sides of Rt. 41. Lots of appreciation shown by drivers via horn honks, thumbs up, and peace symbols. For a red county, very encouraging.

Currently reading. It has clear connections to my previous read The Exiles, which has surprised and delighted me.
