I've been seeing a lot of Bernie memes on here so I thought I would share this.

My mother made this for me to cheer me up. #covid #quarantine

#ispy blue books! Thanks for the tag @Bookgoil
Can you find a cream cover @kezzlou85 @MolliesaurusRex @tdrosebud ?

I‘m doing my research on every candidate.

Honestly this felt kind of rushed. Half of it is just his policies he campaigned on. The best chapter here is the one on the media, that had a lot of personal insight to it, as well as the chapter on vulnerable people. The other half is your basic memoir, but it really doesn't provide a ton of insight into his campaign, more just a listing of events that happened, a timeline without any reflection.

One off my son‘s shelves 😁

I never realized how little I know about Bernie Sanders. I don't agree with all his political opinions or policy choices but still an interesting and vivid book. It's on Libby!

I was never fervently pro-Bernie but he legitimately seems like a good dude. This book is a memoir and call to action. He is actively seeking to engage which is so nice hear and feel a part of. He's also intensely passionate (can be a pro and a con, honestly). Read if you want to be super sad about the direction we have taken but ultimately encouraged to help course correct.

We went to two bookstores in Burlington, VT today. The top two pics are of Phoenix Books, which had multiple floors and the bookish accessories were amazing! The bottom two pics are of Crow Bookshop. They had a fantastic selection of used and new books...I may have treated myself...again! Muh hahahaha!!! 🤜

Another adorable local bookstore find during our travels. This is McLean & Eakin Booksellers in Petoskey, MI. The staff was helpful and clearly well-read. The layout was cozy and the selection vast. They also offer 99 cent shipping on all orders! I added four more books to my vacation haul here. 🤙🏻

I am glad I read this book. It had many things that I had not thought about before. It also made me want to research further into some issues that I was not aware of. Towards the end some of the book gets a bit repetitive.

Thought I would start a little something on the other side of Orange tonight....get my mind to a place I can sleep without getting really pissed.

I'm a little disappointed that I didn't finish The Unabridged Journals this month. I have had to read it in small doses because I feel kinda like a creep when I read it 😅

This was a great read - the first part is a memoir of his life, career in public service, and presidential campaign and the second part is his detailed vision for a better future America that serves the interests of all citizens.

Honestly between reading this and rewatching Parks and Rec I'm feeling all kinds of fired up to become more politically active and get involved in my community.

My partner & I are spending the evening reading. My 18 hour migraine has abated and I'm feeling at last happily exhausted. Having cancelled all my chores for the day, I will read guiltlessly since my eyes were too brittle all afternoon. The evening is now completely soundless and I'm reading Bernie. My partner's reading Elizabeth Warren. When we're through, we'll switch.

Got my early voting done & got to meet #TonyValdivia for district 8! Got 2 stickers since I didn't get one at the general election and I'm #petty

Eeeek!! My time has finally come! I started reading the hardcover back in January and I got 30 pages in when I found out the audio is read by Bernie and Ruffalo 😍 and I had to get my hands on it. My hold finally came through today and I am so ready. 💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼
PS did I mention this baby was published on my birthday last year? 🎉 Ok I'll stop gushing now.

(Welcome to Sara's alternate reality.)

I had the opportunity to listen to senator sanders speak to a packed auditorium last night! Feeling inspired. Democracy is not a spectator sport. #trumpedupreadinglist #hopefulreads

Also from the library today. I waitlisted this a while ago and just got it. :) #bernie #feelthebern #berniesanders #libraryhaul

Let's hope this book gives me ideas for the resistance.

The censoring is mine (just cause I'm unsure of Litsy guidelines on that). I don't know the lady photographed or even who took this photo (I suspect the numerous people who posted this on Instagram are neither) but it's pretty awesome. #feminism #notmypresident #equality #lovetrumpshate

A very timely deal of the day!!! #FeelTheBern

First hour into my #24in48 ! I'm reading Bernie Sanders' Our Revolution. It's very interesting, and I may spend more time with this book today than I originally intended. But I need coffee, first 😊☕☕☕

This has been my reading for the day. I started it at noon. So far, loving the pacing. It is quick, the ideas insightful, and inspiring. I saw it was on sale today, but I already had the hard back. Figured there was nothing else going on at noon, so might as well read. 🤣

I'm so grateful to @Litsy for being a social media safe space today. And for the @bookriot deal of the day. I have a sliver of hope we're gonna make it through the next four years based on y'all. 💜📚💜

😢😢

Alert! Alert! These books and more on sale today. I picked up Bernie's book and Listen, Liberal. I highly recommend the Glenn Greenwald. And I already own The Unwinding in paper.

I finally decided to sign up for #24in48. Ahhh! I was concerned about compiling potential reads, but then I walked into my bedroom. This is what the corner of my desk already looked like, kitty and all. I think I'm ready!

Bookmail! And appropriately enough, this book has wonderful #endpapers . I think I'll spend Inauguration Day reading the Bern. He was so great during yesterday's U.S. Senate Confirmation Hearings! Go Bernie! [Top photo: endpapers; bottom left: front cover; bottom right: back cover.]

I enjoyed reading this book very much. The first third if it reads like an autobiography. The last two thirds focuses on politics. It definitely made me more aware of social and economic issues that I hadn't given a lot of thought to before.

Every generation needs a new revolution. Read up, speak out. You can find all our recommendations here: www.strandbooks.com/revolution

Bernie's book is full of wake-up calls. What can we do in 2017 to stand up for what we believe in?

Not a book-related post, but I think some of you will forgive me. Yesterday's brunch at Bernie and Jane's house. I worked for and with him for a number of years. They were kind enough to invite many of us who had been politically active with him beginning in the 80's when he was elected Mayor. It was inspiring to see so many who are still making a difference in their community each and every day.

How it begins.

Santa delivered! #FeelTheBern #bookishgift Happy Holidays Littens!!

My wife just purchased my Amazon wish list for Christmas. She rocks! A fun note on the shirt- it is a knock off that came from China purchased on Amazon. We would be upset, but it is such a bad knock off that it is a joy! Merry Christmas one and all!

Not pictured- On Beauty by Zadie Smith, The Clancys of Queens, and Rogue One the book.

I was not expecting this treatise to be quite as thick a book as it is. 450 pages! I will say that the endpapers are really pretty -- full bleed photographs of sign-waving supporters at a rally. In the background you see my reading nook (well, one of the 2 reading nooks in my 900 sq foot apartment lol). It's missing a good reading light. What do you think-- floor lamp, table lamp, or hanging light? 💡🕯

It's all going down in 30 mins. Proud to be in attendance to hear the Senator speak!! Very exciting and I want to thank @DieselBookstore and Mrs. Dalloway's bookstore for hosting. ✊🏻❤️📚

Gotta love coming home to new books and book swag!

I am so glad I read this book, not only do I now consider myself a Bernie Sanders fan and supporter but I am now much more informed about things I had no idea about. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars only because it was a little repetitive but that aside I loved it and his views/ideas.

#photoadaynov16 #thankfulfor while I am thankful for the usual, family friends and health, I am currently feeling very thankful to know there are people like Bernie Sanders in the world. Those Who believe in doing good, right and kindness. I would love to have a conversation with him. This book is such an eye opener for me. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍂

#photoadaynov16 #readinginbed the view from my bed makes me happy every single night since I literally sleep next to my bookshelf and my nightstand has a few books I go to every so often when I'm in the mood. And lastly, when I read in bed, I sometimes bring extra books for no specific reason haha...i just like to be surrounded by books! 📚but to give you a tidbit about the Bernie Sanders book I am reading, I find myself really liking him more!

I am trying to hold off buying books, but then this happened. Because Bernie 💖

After this election I was hurt. Hurt that we elected a human with so much hatred. I didn't know how this could happen, but I realized I was confused and hurt because I didn't understand. I had blinders on. I realized-to understand, I would need to explore differences. My 2017 goal is to read, experience, and learn as much as possible. The only way to create meaningful change is to celebrate and respect difference. I felt Bern was the best start.

Starting this now, the inside of the cover is awesome
