News

Welcome
to Books & Articles Weekly, and Happy New Year! I can’t recall
a week I have enjoyed more in the territory. There were so many
interesting posts. In fact, I’m making a one time exception and
award zapping my suggestions this week. I found and enjoyed great
content well beyond the top five posts, which were all top notch. I
hope you all got as much out of them as I did.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

There is a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken
down as follows:

  1. 1000
    sats

250 sats
3.
250 sats

250 sats

250 sats

Posts
will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST
(1300GMT) Saturday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly
around 9:00am every Saturday morning.

I
reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve
the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that
link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion
for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from
stackers.

Happy
reading!

As
always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make
this territory better.

Siggy’s Suggestions

-Book recommendation - King Leopold's Ghost
by @Signal312

After reading this
post by @Signal312 and @elvismercury’s reply, I immediately ran out
and got myself a copy. I’m about one third of the way through, and
I can’t wait to get back to it this weekend. It is a horrifying
factual account of European colonialism in Africa, but the writing is
so good it reads like a novel. I am ignorant of this time period and
think I am learning a lot. I have included this post in the book
reviews.

Letter to my daughter by @bief57

This
letter is so heartfelt and compelling, it stopped me in my tracks.
I’m going to remember this one for a while.

This
link post by @Scoresby is worth your time.
