Books Read – March & April 2025 – I saved this post until the end of April because I thought – ugh, I only read two books in March? And then it was even worse – only one book in April. I know I’ve been off my game – routine – but yikes. Anyhow, I will post and share and then move on…
First book –
Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism
Facebook sure did change the world.
Understatement of the century.
- Meta Seeks to Block Further Sales of Ex-Employee’s Scathing Memoir
- Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams review – Zuckerberg and me
Well worth the read but warning – it will piss you off. I already loathe the meta universe, this just confirmed all of the loathing. And as far as the author as a whistle-blower, nyah. The more words of hers I read the more I started to loathe her as well…complicit is what complicit does. I was not impressed nor feel sorry for her one bit – she make all her choices. Which truly, I will not understand – she could have left…
Second book –
Year of Living Constitutionally
“America’s birth was not an immaculate conception…”
- The Constitution (ME!) AND Reenacting – (HWMMS) How did I not see this book last year?
- I’m not the only one who learned the Preamble and can still recite, am I?
- I’m absolutely adopting using #HUZZAH in place of the daily glimmer. I love that damn word and do not use it nearly enough (when not wearing stays…)
I lovedlovedlovedloved this book and found myself wanting to share every other passage with HWMMS (and/or Moon Wife, poor Moon Wife…I think she said something like “I love that you are loving it so much.” Um, hint – hint.)
The Genius of Judy: How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us
Meh – this was a disappointment honestly, it was way more of a Wikipedia recap of her books instead of well, I dunno, I expected more of her story not a review of all her stories as the story. But perhaps I read the title wrong.
In other book news – I’ve started but not finished –
- In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin
- The Fourth Turning Is Here: What the Seasons of History Tell Us about How and When This Crisis Will End
- The Other March Sisters
- Water Moon
Hoping for at least a book a week in May.
