I read Hillbilly Elegy and liked it, and I thought Vance was a fairly positive sort of character. I was disappointed when he reversed his position and joined the Trump chorus. Scheming for power? It seems to have worked out for him. Maybe he will be a stabilizing force in another Trump administration.

I am so 🍀! I won a 📕 on Goodreads! I just started it and am on page 100 so I can say that I really like it as it is well written. Has an interesting plot! So far 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Just thought I’d let you all know as I have read so many book written lately with so much meaningless filler! The book is Murder at King’s Crossing by Andrea Penrose! I’ve never read anything by her before but will look for more of her books ! 🥸. Thank you, Goodreads👏🏻

The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison

The first entry in the Stainless Steel Rat series which is the adventures of Jim diGriz a top level thief and con man in the 30th century. Fun, witty, fast-moving adventure/thriller. I liked it and I'll probably read another book in the series although it's not written at a very high level so it's impossible to take seriously. 3 stars.
