I have my work cut out for me this month … once I finish Challenger that is …

The books pictured include #bookspin and #doublespin from February AND March, plus two more #auldlangspine books I‘m still looking forward to.

kspenmoll I am starting Challenger this week library loan - 1d
CSeydel It‘s not a quick read, but it is very engaging and well-written. It‘s not only the story of the Challenger disaster, of course - it begins with the Apollo 1 tragedy and takes us through the conception of the STS program, which is a lot of agency history and controversy that I didn‘t know before. Still, it never feels like a kitchen-sink approach: everything feels like it‘s contributing to understanding the eventual event of the disaster. 1d

This was a fascinating look at a part of the White House I‘ve heard referenced frequently during crises, but otherwise knew very little about. The book traces the history of the Situation Room and the way it‘s changed and developed over the years, from JFK through Biden, focusing on a crisis in the Sit Room during each presidency. It was fascinating to see the vastly different ways each president approached/interacted with the room & its staff⤵️

BarbaraJean (cont‘d) …and I learned new-to-me historical details and nuances with each chapter. At times, I found it hard to keep track of the sheer number of people involved, having to flip back and forth for reminders of names and their positions/roles. I kind of wanted a list of characters for each section! But this in itself was a reminder of the sheer volume of dedicated public servants who work tirelessly to serve our country ⤵️ 4d
BarbaraJean (cont‘d) …and the office of the Presidency (rather than the person in the role). Although the Trump section was unsurprisingly difficult and disturbing to read, I came away from this reading with an unexpected new respect for Bush Sr. (both for his role in the Sit Room after Reagan‘s assassination attempt and during his presidency). Thanks to @librarybelle for the #AuldLangSpine recommendation! 4d
Librarybelle Yay! This was such a fascinating read, and I too learned a number of facts about the Situation Room and the presidencies. 4d

This pick from @librarybelle‘s #AuldLangSpine list was a delight! I thoroughly enjoyed Sister B‘s letters describing ups and downs at the convent of St. Winifreda. They open a farm shop and begin to engage the community in their struggle to remain open as church leadership is pushing to sell their land. An unexpected bonus for me was discovering that the setting was the Fenlands of East Anglia, not far from Ely—where I lived as a child. 💜💜

Librarybelle This was a surprisingly delightful book for me! So glad you enjoyed it! 4d
Suet624 I liked this one too! 4d
