I finished #AGameOfThrones last week. So now I'm going to jump back over to nonfiction, and more specifically #USPresidents.
I've had #TheLeadersWeDeserved on my bookshelf for about a year, and it finally feels like the right time to dive into it.
It's very large. And it's very very....dry. Still, looking forward to it greatly.

So I got *another* book about #USPresidents, and it's a big boy. Probably not going to hit into this anytime soon, but hopefully before the end of the year.

Bit of light reading after the kids have gone to bed.
Fun facts about John Quincy Adams? His middle name is pronounced Kwin-zee because it was the location of his birth.
After leaving the role of President he went on to become a member of the House and essential died on the floor after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage.
His father was also the second person elected to the office of President (just about).

209 followers · 1334 posts · Server mstdn.gamesOver the last few years I've really gotten into #USPresidents and the #History of that office. I've read thousands of words about each person to have held that office. I've listened to audio dramas and 100hr+ podcast series about them. I've watched TV series dedicated to them and played video games where I have to pretend to be them. I've even developed a weird kink where I watch people rank them on YouTube.
I just can't get enough. These people and their stories absolutely fascinate me.

Fascinating! tl;dr President Grover Cleveland wasn’t married, so his sister filled the official duties of a First Lady, then found her own First Lady.

#USpresidents and their political scandals:
#Obama wore a beige suit.
#Trump orchestrated a coup attempt.
#Biden ordered the same pasta entree as his wife.
One of these things is not like the others...

188 followers · 958 posts · Server mstdn.gamesY'all posting #SongsOrMoviesAboutPresidents but you've forgotten the undeniable best songs about US Presidents....
1) Tippecanoe and Tyler Too - They Might Be Giants
A song about the election of 1840. Catchy as f*ck.
2) James K Polk - They Might Be Giants
A song about the underrated 11th President. Also slaps.
