Already learning LOTS but 100% sure I will be having a nightmare because of this.

I'm that scene in Harry Potter where he's bullying Dumbledore into drinking the potion. Except I'm Dumbledore and the potion is this book. Trivia night is Harry Potter.

I'm going to keep a buck 50 with you. If I didn't have to finish this for trivia I would have DNFed it. I can say wholeheartedly- I do not think details are getting into my brain because I don't want them to.

This makes me realize how little I knew about birth before giving birth. This probably would have been more helpful 6+ years ago.

This feels masochist at this point.

....why don't they just burn the house down? Move? Flee the country?

Teaching is not that serious. But your marriage is!

Thank you for affirming my decision to only have 1 kid.

Discussing all of JFK's health issues but leaving out his Addison's????

Doesn't know why FDR is still so popular? Girl, why didn't you talk about the New Deal?? Bill O'Reilly...be so for real.

Portraying some intimacy? Really danced around just saying Buchanan and King were romantic.

Slay. Not literate white men becoming president 👌.

Why were the Washington and Adams section so short but so much on Jefferson?

I will finish this book. I think.

Reading Pendergast's physical appearance to filth.

David, girl. The history on Missouri feels TOO deep. Truman is not the state of Missouri. Or maybe he is and I'm not there yet. Plot twist.

What?!?!?!?!?!

I absolutely loathe books that have a storyline of a problematic and in this instance man who r***d the main female character then turns around and they romantically entangle. It romanticizes and tries to contextualize the act as part of a bigger picture. When in fact, it is the picture on its own.

Mutually assured destruction it is then

The audiobook production is great so far but the added sounds for her running make it seem like she's running Olympic speed.

How has this house been in his family for generations and there is still a mortgage on the house?

Right, right, right. I was looking for a book to make me shed some tears.

Ugh.

Uh, Uniontown mention? Does Nora Roberts it is not big enough to support a hotel?

Not the Taneytown mention

How is it that so many audiobook narrators do not know how to pronounce winding???

I need this book to be done.

I am not excited. Please may I reach the end of this swiftly. 🙏

I thought I was the problem but in fact after looking at other reviews- I feel nothing for these characters which makes the dystopian part feel meh.
