What Happened | Hillary Rodham Clinton
Pickpick

5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was already a big HRC supporter, but now I admire her even more. The crap she has had to endure during her career is ridiculous, and as a woman attorney in the male-dominated legal profession, I could relate. I learned more about the Russian political inference that occurred in the 2016 election and it did a great job of showing HRC‘s personal side. It was hard to read without tearing up, but ultimately it was worth it.

MelissaSue81 I want to love this book. I really do.. I‘m just having a hard time with it. 7y
Jess7 How far in are you? Reading or listening to it? @MelissaSue81 7y

MelissaSue81 Listening. Just started hour 9, so a little over halfway. 7y
Jess7 If the emails stuff is weighing you down, skip it and come back to it. The chapters are labeled so you should be able to skip around. @MelissaSue81 - The parts about her emails was annoying, but I think she did a good job at explaining some of the misconception about them well. I found the Russian investigation stuff heavy and maddening, but really interesting.. maybe skip to that. 7y

I think it's important we remember these lessons, specially with everything that is going on recently. #humanrights #politicalbooks #remember

BookishMarginalia Yes. Every single person should read this book NOW. It's less than $4 on Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N4M1BQY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501099967&... 7y
Melmar @BookishMarginalia yes! It's such a quick read too. 7y

Sometimes I think studying English has ruined me-- when I look at my shelves I'm hard-pressed to find anything that DOESN'T feel political! (And that's not a bad thing!) Everything 👏🏿 is 👏🏾 political 👏🏼

moranadatter Yes! I was thinking about A Vindication of the Rights of Woman earlier this week. Odd coincidence! 8y

On searching my shelves I discovered this was the only book I had that could pass as #politicalbooks and I'm a bit embarrassed! Brilliant and soulful as this book is I feel that there should be more on my shelves like it and looking forward to reading everyone else's suggestions :) #augustreads #bookphotochallenge @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

Gulfsidemusing An excellent book! 8y
Caryl Is that a signed copy? 😍 8y
TheLondonBookworm @Caryl Sadly no 😞 just scribbled in by the charity shop I got it from!! 8y
TheSpinecrackersBookClub Great choice! I was pretty embarrassed to realize that I don't even have it on my shelf. 8y

Politics/history is kind of my jam.....so naturally, I've devoted shelves to it! It all started with The West Wing (😍) and my interest in politics has only deepened over the years. I'm actually trying to decide right now between a Masters degree in English/secondary education OR political science. We'll see how it goes! 🤓📚⚖ #augustphotochallenge #politicalbooks

LauraBeth Love your political books collection! 8y

TheSpinecrackersBookClub Great stacks!! 8y
MeganMarieWrites Is that Rumplestiltskin in the middle there?! 8y
MeganMarieWrites Also, that is a great collection of political/historical volumes! 8y
Leelee08 @TheSpinecrackersBookClub @MeganMarieWrites Thank you!! And yes, it is! My husband and I are obsessed with Once Upon a Time 😍 8y
MeganMarieWrites @Leelee08 Once Upon a Time is the best! I love Rumple ❤️ 8y
MemoirsForMe Cool collection! Never saw "Jackie as Editor" before. That's my jam, so tell me more. ? 8y
Leelee08 @MeganMarieWrites Me too! He gets such a bad rap, but he's my fave😍 8y
Leelee08 @UwannaPublishme It's actually a really good book. It talks about her career as a book editor later in her life with Doubleday and Viking. 8y
Laalaleighh As a political science major, I vote poli-sci! It's such a fascinating subject to study and there is so much you can do with it if you make sure to get some good internships. 8y
Leelee08 @Laalaleighh I think I'm leaning that way! I'm just so scared of not having as much job security as I would have with a teaching degree. 8y
Laalaleighh @leelee08 you can still teach if that's what you want to do afterwards! 8y
Leelee08 That's true, @Laalaleighh ! 8y
Sheltiemama One of my favorite genres. 8y
Sydsavvy Looks very interesting!!! 8y

Ghettoside is my political pick. It's a heartbreaking look at the injustices black people face in America. I took this picture a few weeks ago in downtown Minneapolis. #blm #justiceforphilando #politicalbooks #augustofpages #bookphotochallenge

Election | Tom Perrotta

@TheSpinecrackersBookClub

all movie tie-ins! Tom Perrotta is one of my favorite authors and I think Election is his best (or maybe Wishbones or maybe Little Children-there's a reason so many of his books have been made into movies :) his Tracy Flick is an icon. Towelhead is an amazing novel about an Arab teenager forced to survive in Texas :) it goes to very dark places but is funny and poignant.
