Nice photos on the HARD CHOICES book jacket.
Hard Choices is a memoir of former United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, published by Simon & Schuster in 2014, giving her account of her tenure in that position from 2009 to 2013. It also discusses some personal aspects of her life and career, including her feelings towards President Barack Obama following her 2008 presidential campaign loss to him. It is generally supportive of decisions made by the Obama administration.
The book was promoted partly in light of the possibility of a Clinton bid in the 2016 presidential election (in which, two years after the release of the book, she would go on to win the Democratic nomination and then lose to Donald Trump in the general election). Excerpts from the book were released in advance of its publication. Clinton staged an extensive promotional tour for the book, which had the air of a political campaign with groups both for and against her appearing at book-signing events. Hard Choices reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List, but sold considerably less than her 2003 memoir, Living History. Interpreting what sales of the book meant for her possible political future became a subject for discussion among interested parties.
SADLY THE BOOK IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO READ DUE TO ITS HEFT.

AN ATLAS OF IMPOSSIBLE LONGING
By Anuradha Roy
Fiction. I will give this book of packed gorgeous prose another try. It's like being in a room of sunbeams giving the reader, me, no respite from delight. GLASS SHARDS, GLASS SHARDS.
...
I read selections from all these books while in the library. Will I be able to follow the premise of this book, I ask myself.
Bravo is written by Greg Rucka and as I read it, the book sounded similar to another crime fiction where saving the world sounded very similar.
The only books I can read twice are Nancy Drew.

FINDING FREEDOM has two co-authors who dig at the truth.
I am definitely a follower of Meghan and Harry. Does Meghan have her own last name before she gets married? Complication. She was married to an actor who was unfair to his woman so she began divorce proceedings.
This is one book I am truly enjoying.
I am at the part where the two will be married on the morrow. Meghan's odd father is making trouble offstage. She is very worried about him. When she was a child they were very close. He would make biracial Barbies for her.
7th century BC library of Assurbanipal
. Ashurbanipal, also spelled Assurbanipal,[9] Asshurbanipal[10] and Asurbanipal[9] (Neo-Assyrian cuneiform: 
Aššur-bāni-apli or Aššur-bāni-habal,[11][12] meaning "Ashur has given a son-heir")[13][14] was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from the death of his father Esarhaddon in 668 BC to his own death in 631 BC.[1][2][3] The fourth king of the Sargonid dynasty, Ashurbanipal is generally remembered as the last great king of Assyria.
At the time of Ashurbanipal's reign, the Neo-Assyrian Empire was the largest empire that the world had ever seen and its capital, Nineveh, was probably the largest city on the planet. Selected as heir by his father in 672 BC despite not being the eldest son, Ashurbanipal ascended to the throne in 669 BC jointly with his elder brother Shamash-shum-ukin, who became king of Babylon. Much of the early years of Ashurbanipal's reign was spent fighting rebellions in Egypt, which had been conquered by his father.
