BRRRRR, cold out and lots of indoor things to do. The latest batch of books was a bust, will pick up a new batch today. The batch is not the books in this post.
Lots of TV watching with the football playoffs so that also means lots of crochet time. I think it took me a little over four days to do a lap robe, but I watched six football games too between Saturday to Monday!
Ministry of Truth title is based on the George Orwell book 1984 in which the hero Winston Smith works. That agency was responsible for the party propaganda. In this case this is a tell of the revisionist policies of the Republican Party under Donald Trump. If you tell it often enough and loud enough it must be true. Beating the truth into submission with a combination of bluster, bluff and lies.
Blood on Their Hands a memoir by a reporter who helped to expose the crimes of of the Murdaugh family in South Carolina. The family, part of the wealthy, white, good old boys network, who manipulated people and the law to their advantage. Author started as a reporter at small newspapers and ended up with a large podcast audience while she pursued this story. The main focus of the story, Alex Murdaugh, was convicted of murdering his wife and son in 2023. He was also found guilty of financial fraud and other crimes. Interesting, I remember following this story on the news.
George Harrison: The Reluctant Beatle a biography of one quarter of the Beatles. I found that the author used most of the book on his early years and his Beatle years which really was only half of his life. I had wished for more information on the later portion of his life. It was interesting to read about the dynamics of George and his fellow band mates, fellow other musicians and the women in his life too.
Happy Reading.
