Even though my father claims he only voted for Trump because of the abortion issue, especially The Supreme Court, he now seems to support him on everything else and defends him for ever, I believe, thanks to Fox News.

To be honest...sigh...I hear you on the news lately. To be honest, I mostly avoid it. I catch the 10-minute news update at 8 am on the Today show so I know what's happening in the world, and I read the Sunday newspaper, and otherwise, I try hard not to get caught up in it - it's just too upsetting. The last thing I need is more stress in my life. I know it's a head-in-the-sand approach but I have to take care of myself.<br /><br />Wow, 55 books by the end of the year? That's amazing! I'm impressed - glad you are filling up retirement with good books! :)<br /><br />I'd like to see Battle of the Sexes, too.<br /><br />Enjoy your books this week, Anne! And give yourself a break from the news.<br /><br />Sue<br /><br /><a href="http://bookbybook.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Book By Book</a>Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-1775595882152925702017-10-23T10:22:05.337-07:002017-10-23T10:22:05.337-07:00Thanks for the Pullman tip.

I keep thinking if I could just stay away from it I would feel better, but staying away just makes me more anxious wondering what I have missed.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-64615067828730929982017-10-23T10:20:01.011-07:002017-10-23T10:20:01.011-07:00I really liked Beastly Brains and learned a lot fo...I really liked Beastly Brains and learned a lot for it.

Because of my pulled hamstring, I can't run or walk which would be my normal stress reliever. I am gobbling up the new Pullman book, and loving it.

I try (and try) to focus on the positive stuff -- Like the story of the young lady who just won the inventor's award for a lead testing kit! There is hope! And I look out at the faces of the children during my school visits and I feel it! #STEM NanChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649794477801455218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-8975653988559535572017-10-23T07:25:02.475-07:002017-10-23T07:25:02.475-07:00I also experience the same range of emotions you l...I also experience the same range of emotions you listed about the state of our country. Escaping to Canada is not even a realistic plan...if Trump carries out his agenda, there will be no safe place.<br /><br />I hate the news...and can't seem to steer away, just in case there is something hopeful. Like impeachment.<br /><br />Even some people I know and care about have blinders on about this man.<br /><br />What to do? Bury myself in books...unless someone can show us an action that might work.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.<br /><br />Laurel-Rain Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-73640197539962528682017-10-23T03:24:55.636-07:002017-10-23T03:24:55.636-07:00I can’t bear to hear the news.

No way out of that one.<br /><br />I feel like I’m in the trenches of a war as I fight for rigor in the schools. I’m worn down, though, and it won’t be long before I’ll be worn out.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.com
