Welcome to Litsy!

Funny, scathing (really very scathing) and illuminating book about current American politics. I appreciated his focus on the systems that administer democracy and how parties, particularly the Democrats, are run on a wider scale than individuals. I‘m not American so it‘s helpful to get this insight into the different systems behind the govt.

Day 2 back at work with my book and my desk pasta #budgeting am I right guys? Trying rly hard to be sensible in 2020 and be a responsible adult who keeps crying over my bank balance to a minimum! Admittedly I‘m going out to eat today and tomorrow but spending a gift card I got for Christmas doesn‘t count... I hope. Full steam ahead on my 2020 reading challenge, thank god tbr reading is a free hobby!

Week 1 #BFC check-in! I got my 4 run/walks, 2 weight machine sessions, and 1 class at the YMCA (in addition to the 2 stretch classes I attend every week) in. I also finished 5 books, so I'm on track to finish 24 by the end of the challenge. I loved the tagged book, Saga devastated me, and the other three (all nonfiction) books were very interesting. I LOVE my #BookNerdHerd team. ❤️ Great first week!

"The seeming populism of antipolitician rhetoric is often a nice cover for a nasty elitism toward the masses who vote for them." #bookandtea #Haymarket

Time for my afternoon dose of lemon green tea and witty, fierce political commentary. 🔥🔥🔥 #Haymarket

The title “The US Does Everything Wrong Regardless of Who is at the Helm; All Hail King Bernie” would be more accurate for this polemic of American politics. Billed as humor, it is too hyperbolic, self-congratulatory, snarky and eye-rolling to be remotely funny. I am decidedly to the left (the author is a socialist), but I can‘t get behind this.

My Haymarket Books collection continues to grow! Look at all those H's on the spines of these radical books 😍 #resist #haymarket #nonfiction #shelfie
