Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History | Katy Tur

I chose to listen to this book strictly for a challenge prompt. It was painful for a variety of reasons. I found Katy Tur‘s memoir covering Trump‘s campaign whiny & superficial. I get it was crazy-town but she‘s a reporter & this was a PLUMB assignment, so a little humility would have been nice. This was rubbing salt in the wound, totally unnecessary and agonizing. I didn‘t need all the rehashing🥺

Riveted_Reader_Melissa God bless you... I think I‘ve read everything about him and his Presidency that I can stomach, and it all makes me feel worse. I still want to read Joy Ann Reid‘s, but I‘m just not sure I can stand any more.

The Man Who Sold America: Trump and the Unravelling of the American Story

Cinfhen Thanks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa there were probably other books I could have chosen but this was available on Hoopla and I thought I‘d be able to stomach it. It was really difficult and now I‘m dreading the buildup to the next 4 years 😞 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Cinfhen Yes, so much yes.... I feel like I need to turn off all news and social media except for Litsy and Goodreads for the next 1 to 5 years. 😕 5y

Need to UP my #Nonfiction2020 challenge. This is for #SomethingAboutAnElection but Katy Tur is a little too millennial for me 🙄

alisiakae I would get annoyed just looking at that cover. 🤣 5y

Cinfhen It‘s hard to relive this @4thhouseontheleft I‘m not sure I‘ll make it to the end of the book ...it‘s slowly killing me 5y

Suet624 I listened to this one and what I actually remember most were some of the things she wrote about her parents. They were amazing. The rest of the book was so terrible. That man and his followers are just awful. 5y

Cinfhen I‘m not sure this is a good time to be listening @Suet624 the next wave of frantic campaigning is starting and it‘s giving me anxiety 5y

TrishB I‘ve read this one. ☹️ 5y

Suet624 I understand. My children and I are pretty deeply involved in election activities and it‘s difficult to be battered about daily by the whims and fears of the electorate and the idiocy of the current occupant. 5y

AmyG Yes! I agree with @Suet624 that the best part was about her parents. I don‘t know how you could read this @Cinfhen - it gave me such anxiety that I never finished it. 5y

Cinfhen Ohhh; I agree @AmyG @Suet624 Katy‘s parents are COOL but I‘m not a fan of Katy, she‘s coming across as whiny & self obsessed 😬 5y
