Truths: The Future of America First by Vivek Ramaswamy
challenging
informative
fast-paced
4.25
Well written, organized, and argued book. I found a lot of his points quite interesting, and particularly enjoyed the chapter on the Administrative State. On the other hand, I have quibbles with some of the Nationalism chapter. But his final point about the dangers of incuriousity, I agree with wholeheartedly.

What an exciting end to this magic school romantasy! And the audio is great. Very much recommend, and honestly, more for adults than teens.

Dan Jones is always a pleasure to read, and this proves no different. If medieval monarchy and law is your gig, this is definitely an enjoyable and eminently readable one to check out.

I wasn't loving this, but I was going to try and finish anyway, because I love Maria, but because I love her, I needed to stop.

It's been ages since I've read Tammy Bruce, but she's still as engaging and informative as ever. Glad I listened to this one.

Started well enough, but then it just becomes G-rated domestic fluff, and that's not really my thing.

Perfectly fine historical romance, but I just don't have the time or inclination to finish this right now.

Somehow, I'd never read this, even though I've always been a fan of the movie. Election season inspired me to final check it out, and it's an often funny, but also often troubling look at American politics. Glad I finally checked it out.
