“renegades” – obama and springsteen – just a printed version of their podcast – still, pretty good – I loved seeing the edits the president had made in his speeches – would be really good to show kids if we didn’t live in such polarized times…

“the fighting soul” by rabin-havt – on the road with Bernie – well, prior to 2020 and the pandemic – was interesting – didn’t know as much about Bernie

“forever young” Hayley Mills – the first 20-ish years of her life in detail – and lots about her Disney movies – I grew up on Pollyanna so this was a must read

“Hometown Victory” by Lowe – football coach who stopped a school shooter a couple of years ago – it was interesting how he changed the culture of things at the school

“slaughterhouse five” vonnegut – do not get it – at all…

“going there” – katie couric – a really sad book – grew up on the Today Show – it was sad she was around such toxic males – and sad that she had a relationship with a guy just older than her daughter

“the peach rebellion” – van draanen – really great YA – coming soon – so many things make this book great – the historical fiction part – the fact that three girls can put away boy drama and do something important – love, love, love…

“Annalies” – Gillham – what if Anne Frank had lived? Didn’t think people would enjoy it – guess what? they didn’t – but well researched – and let’s face it, Anne Frank becomes less “pure” if she becomes an adult – we all do

“How to tell a story” – bowles – Moth radio book – meh…

“Disillusionment” by Greer – good book about what the gospel has to say about disillusionment – what the prophets say too – that it’s okay – and how to recover

“100 Things Crimson Tide Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die” – the funny part of this book is that it came out in 2008 – just before 100 more things happened with six more national titles

“Darkness to Light” – Odom – from the Kardashians – wow, the drama there…

“Happy at Any Cost” – Zappos CEO – sad book
