#reccommendsday My former roommates are doing a Christmas book swap. Debating between these two for my political junkie friend. On one hand I know he loves JFK a lot but on the other I figure he's read a bio of him before. This Town is also a fun, kind of soapy look at DC but is also really insightful about the political culture & process.

#reccommendsday this book was a survival story. How Jeannette Walls survived a very difficult childhood to become a professional is fascinating. I've passed my copy of Glass Castle along but Half Broke Horses is on my tbr

Sharing this post from @theshrinkette Great idea to put forth some diverse books in the world to push back the trolls! I'm recommending the amazing March books about the truly heroic John Lewis and his fellow non-violent activists who risked everything for change. #IStandForDiversity #WeNeedDiverseBooks #reccommendsday
