I’ve set a goal to read 10 books this year. It’s a far cry from my wife’s 50 in 2023 but I could never match her. I’ll post short reviews here to show my progress and to motivate me. You’ll notice a preference for politics, science, travel, and WWII and non-fiction.

Book 1 - Enough by Cassidy Hutchinson: I rate this 7.5/10. Cassidy was fresh out of university when she was hired at the White House as special assistant to Trump and his chief of staff, Mark Meadows. As a WH insider she testified at the hearings into the January 6 attack on the US. Capitol at great risk to her safety and career. Her heroism pretty much ruined her life. She was the victim of physical threats for revealing Trump’s involvement. Cassidy is very smart and her testimony spoke volumes about the then-president’s attack against the nation - even against then-VP Mike Pence, whom Trump supporters wanted to have hanged; they even built a gallows and brought a rope. Oddly, I finished this book Jan. 6, 2024, the anniversary of the attack on the Capitol. We’re traveling to the Amazon in a few weeks so maybe that’s one to consider for an upcoming book.
