    It would help if the presenters would give introductory information about the genre . I hope you ladies can also offer some recommendations for books dealing with contemporary issues, considering that the western politicians are hell bent on provoking Russia into a hot war. We are at the edge of WW3 in Europe.

    They even wanted to enslave the Mexicans, in a article by the New York newspaper the manifest destiny, a pro war press, they stated that if they were to impoverish the Mexicans, despoil they of everything they got, they would make the best laborers and slaves, for more productive and more imbecile than the Africans, and quite easy to obtain. They downplayed Mexican competency and said you could go all thoroughly Mexico and find these imbeciles, poor Mexicans, once descendants of the Great Mayan civilization that they not are slaves in their own land, could easily be tricked into indentureship, and they might even consent to their enslavement. In their eyes, a direct quote, Mexicans Indians Californians they all horrid, soon immigration and anglo Saxon industry will freeze them out, and like the coming fate of the Indian of this continent, they will cease to exist. Matter of fact, some of the best politicians of the day in 1846 during the Mexican war states that the Texas game and the Mexican war was one of the most bare faced criminal outrages ever committed, of which there is no moral justification or parallel to anything we know of, and that it was not only for the purpose of expanding slavery, but the intent to immortalize it and triple strengthen it , because of this fact they agreed, all the northern states of the union to oppose such measures and label the war as unconstitutional, illegally and aggressively commenced, by corrupt politicians and emissaries from the United States. Much of this can be found in the library of congress, just search up Mexican American war review and you’ll find most of the best works

    I love love to read. However I mostly listen to my books so it would be amazing if there was a section set aside for audiobooks. Narrators are unsung heroes in my opinion. There are some of the most amazing narrators out there and it would be amazing to highlight them. Also, not all great book are narrated greatly. A perfect example of this is lord of the flies, which is narrated by the author but he doesn’t do his own book justice at all. Anyways it’s a suggestion. Maybe if narrators start to get more credit for their work we would be able to influence publishers to offer audiobooks on their own platforms. Audible under pays their authors sickeningly

    Never forget that, when confronted with her own racial bias, which became publicly known, Morgan Jerkins chose not to use her voice, not to stand up to her values and take accountability. She chose silence. As positive as her words are, they have turned out to be just that, words after all. Too bad
