Some books I received for my birthday! Two of these are books I added to my list after I saw them posted here. I don‘t remember who posted them, but thank you just the same 😊

Somehow I finished this quarter of #booked2020 already. 🥳🥳

The tagged book was my final read, about the bomb that exploded at the LA Times in 1910, resulting in many fatalities. I listened on audio and it was one of those books that wasn‘t good and wasn‘t bad. It was interesting and well written but didn‘t hold my attention, which is crucial for me on audio but sadly not uncommon. #hollywood

An amazing bit of history, a story I was totally unfamiliar with before reading this. The war between labor and capital at the beginning of the 20th century erupts when an anti-union newspaper building in L.A. is bombed, killing 21 people. 4 💥💥💥💥
