   Bonus #FridayReads post: if everything [waves vaguely at the world outside] is getting you down and you need your faith in humanity and basic common fucking decency restored, sit down with a copy of The Day The World Came to Town by Jim DeFede. Only a soulless worm of a person - maybe that person is occupying the Oval Office - could hate this book. I don't re-read a lot of books, but I'll be giving this one another look at some point. #AmReading #Books #Bookstodon #NonFiction @bookstodon
