An eye-opening and horrifying, but absolutely necessary, read. This provides a good overview of the history of indigenous people in the United States from their perspective. It also connects a lot of dots as to how United States military policy is still influenced by the genocide inflicted on Native peoples.

I‘ve been wanting to read Robert Caro‘s books about Lyndon Johnson for forever —hoping to get a start on the first one before this year is up.

It's been a couple of years but finally got Litsy back on my phone.

Let's see if I remember how to do this: American Scary is not a quick read, but it‘s a rewarding one. For horror enthusiasts, cultural critics, and anyone curious about why Americans are so drawn to the macabre, this book offers a rich and thought-provoking journey through the haunted heart of the American imagination.

Ruthiella Welcome back! 😃 4d
Liz_M Yay! more great reviews of horror and Asian books! 4d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thoroughly researched, and thoughtfully presented, dissection of America‘s racial history highlighting the specific roles of Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrison, WEB De Bois, and Angela Davis. If like me, this has been sitting on your backlist, get to it soon!

Well this is unfortunate. Looks like pgs.197-198 got caught in a machine at some point.

Extended heavy rains in 1913 caused widespread, devastating flooding that impacted most of the eastern and central US, causing major damage and leading to flood mitigation efforts. Washed Away takes the reader through those days, focusing on Ohio and Indiana, the hardest hit, and telling the story through the experiences of individuals. A really compelling read! #ReadYourEbooks (May)

A truly heartbreaking account of the many, many women abused, neglected, raped, and killed by the Kennedy clan. Alongside the well known Jackie, Carolyn, and Marilyn are several others whose names are lost to history but whose lives were forever altered by Kennedy men. Just another sad reminder that men with wealth, power, and family clout have been getting away with the most egregious behavior for decades.

squirrelbrain Sounds fascinating, if 😠- stacking. 2w
