A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick!

Audiobook performed by Marin Ireland.

I cant believe how good this book is.... Its wholly original. Its also perfect.... Wilson writes with such a light touch.... The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didnt see coming. Youre laughing so hard you dont even realize that youve suddenly caught fire. Taffy Brodesser-Akner, New York Times Book Review

Kevin Wilsons best book yeta moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with remarkable and disturbing abilities.

Madisons twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, theres a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but its the truth.

Thinking of her dead-end life at home, the life that has consistently disappointed her, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid, demanding summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each otherand stay coolwhile also staying out of the way of Madisons buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need herurgently and fiercely. Couldnt this be the start of the amazing life shed always hoped for?

With white-hot wit and a big, tender heart, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yeta most unusual story of parental love.

Title: Targeted: The Cambridge Analytica Whistleblower's Inside Story of How Big Data, Trump, and Facebook Broke Democracy and How It Can Happen Again

Author: Brittany Kaiser

Narrator: Brittany Kaiser

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:04:27

Language: English

Release date: 10-22-19

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Politics, Current Affairs, Science & Technology, History & Culture, Computers

Summary:

In this explosive memoir, a political consultant and technology whistleblower reveals the disturbing truth about the multi-billion-dollar data industry, revealing to the public how companies are getting richer using our personal information and exposing how Cambridge Analytica exploited weaknesses in privacy laws to help elect Donald Trumpand how this could easily happen again in the 2020 presidential election.

When Brittany Kaiser joined Cambridge Analyticathe UK-based political consulting firm funded by conservative billionaire and Donald Trump patron Robert Mercershe was an idealistic young professional working on her fourth degree in human rights law and international relations. A veteran of Barack Obamas 2008 campaign, Kaisers goal was to utilize data for humanitarian purposes, most notably to prevent genocide and human rights abuses. But her experience inside Cambridge Analytica opened her eyes to the tremendous risks that this unregulated industry poses to privacy and democracy.

Targeted is Kaisers eyewitness chronicle of the dramatic and disturbing story of the rise and fall of Cambridge Analytica. She reveals to the public how Facebooks lax policies and lack of sufficient national laws allowed voters to be manipulated in both Britain and the United States, where personal data was weaponized to spread fake news and racist messaging during the Brexit vote and the 2016 election. But the damage isnt done Kaiser warns; the 2020 election can be compromised as well if we continue to do nothing.

In the aftermath of the U.S. election, as she became aware of the horrifying reality of what Cambridge Analytica had done in support of Donald Trump, Kaiser made the difficult choice to expose the truth. Risking her career, relationships, and personal safety, she told authorities about the data industrys unethical business practices, eventually testifying before Parliament about the companys Brexit efforts and helping Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, alongside at least 10 other international investigations.

Packed with never-before-publicly-told stories and insights, Targeted goes inside the secretive meetings with Trump campaign personnel and details the promises Cambridge Analytica made to win. Throughout, Kaiser makes the case for regulation, arguing that legal oversight of the data industry is not only justifiable but essential to ensuring the long-term safety of our democracy.

Every history of hip-hop previously published, from Jeff Changs Cant Stop Wont Stop to Shea Serranos The Rap Yearbook, focuses primarily on men, glaringly omitting a thorough and respectful examination of the presence and contribution of the genres female artists.  

For far too long, women in hip-hop have been relegated to the shadows, viewed as the designated First Lady thrown a contract, a pawn in some beef, or even worse. But as Kathy Iandoli makes clear, the reality is very different. Today, hip-hop is dominated by successful women such as Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, yet there are scores of female artists whose influence continues to resonate.

God Save the Queens pays tribute to the women of hip-hopfrom the early work of Roxanne Shante, to hitmakers like Queen Latifah and Missy Elliot, to the superstars of today. Exploring issues of gender, money, sexuality, violence, body image, feuds, objectification and more, God Save the Queens is an important and monumental work of music journalism that at last gives these influential female artists the respect they have long deserved.

Following Germanys invasion of the USSR in June 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill offered his support to the Soviets.

This meeting of the minds took place in Tehran, and in attendance were some of the most iconic leaders of the twentieth century: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin.

Though America, Britain, and the Soviet Union all had a common enemy, their political goals differed greatly. This young readers edition will explore how their united stance against Nazi Germany allowed them to mend their differences, paving the way for what eventually became one of the most important victories in world history.

This book, which includes a glossary of terms, tells the inside story of their secret conference.
