Bumping up this take on current events, because Sarah Kendzior is spot-on. A must read.

Peter Howitt @peterhowitt.bsky.social · 1d

As Sarah Kendzior has been saying for years, His intention is to crash the economy, cause riots, print money and then he and his billionaire friends can buy up assets cheaply in the fire sale.

"The Library at Hellebore" -Cassandra Khaw. Seems mainly written to explore the author's love of works like deliquesce in the grossest way possible with a thin veneer of plot holding together the dripping remains of a "story". Ugh. Not for me, YMMV. #Booksky #208

Cover of "The Library at Hellebore" by Cassandra Khaw.
A dark rendition of the flower is framed by ironwork. A wasp and a fig complete the motifs.

"A Land So Wide" - Erin A. Craig. A coming of age fantasy with a unique mythos. Liked the exploration of home as a cage & breaking free of what holds you back. #Booksy #207

Cover of "A Land So Wide by Erin A. Craig. Trees, rain, starlings in the background in a pleasing shade of teal.

"The Squad: AOC and the Hope of a Political Revolution" -
Ryan Grim. This thoroughly debunks any notion of a united front among the parties & squarely explores the influence of money on our politics, particularly within the day to day of congress. Not shocked, just sad. #Booksky #206

"First Principles: What America's Founders Learned from the Greeks and Romans and How That Shaped Our Country"-
Thomas E. Ricks. Anyone who tells you the "founding fathers" were of one mind is full of it. Explores the key differences in education/influence of the early presidents. #Booksky #205
