Best of 2023 - Books
Thanks to extensive travels and listening to a lot of audiobooks while hiking I read ~170 books this year. This was down on the pandemic records of 308 in 2020 and 210 in 2021 but still a pretty decent tally. As usual more than two thirds were history or travel related, with the others a mix of biography, fiction, essays, and politics. These are the ones that stayed with me the…

A Night In Fischer Hall - Frankenmuth
Intro
This week I am jumping ahead a little bit to discuss/showcase the first ever show I had a part in promoting, organizing, managing and being a part of. On December 30, 2022 one of my close friends Peyton and I put on a four band lineup at Fischer Hall in Frankenmuth Michigan. This came to be known as A Night in Fischer Hall.
This show took months of planning & organizing and included a lot of really cool features and people. It included the bands Lyons Lane, The Euclid Motel, Loud Thoughts and V*A*S*E. All bands being east side Michigan local.
The Show
Opening the show was the band Lyons Lane from Detroit. Lyons Lane is made up of Mark Leo lead singer, Thomas Thompson bassist and Nathan Gonzales lead guitar. The band was joined by Ramone Cerda on drums and Jarrett Koral on sax. This was the first show Lyons Lane performed together after rebranding. Lyons Lane definitely knows how to put on a performance, gathering influence and sound from 60s rock and roll. I love hearing this type of sound merged with modern day rock, I know I am not the only one who is a fan of this band and what they are continuing to radiate into the air.
Following Lyons Lane was local Bay City band The Euclid Motel. The Euclid Motel is made up of five band members, guitarist & vocalist Connor James, lead guitarist Darrian Loehne, bassist Ryan Seifferly, drummer Nathan Seifferly and keyboardist Tim Cary. The psychedelic rock band added the perfect amount of energy needed to help tie all these fantastic bands together. I know that many of the attendees had never heard of this band before this night and everyone I received feedback from talked about how much they loved their sound, energy and the band members. Drummer Nathan Seifferely talked about how great the night was “if anything, it was the most love i’ve ever felt in a full room. Just seemed like everyone was there for the right reason and that doesn’t happen all the time.” Being able to see what Nathan described first hand both from a fans perspective and behind the scenes, I think he perfectly put into words how the energy felt throughout the course of the night.
Local band Loud Thoughts from Saginaw followed The Euclid Motel’s performance. Loud Thoughts has played many different venues in Frankenmuth, most of the band members originally being from the small town. The band is made of close friends & family, Clayton Singer lead vocalist, Chase Singer lead guitarist, Cade Lambert bassist and David Hansen drummer. Fischer Hall is a venue the band has played before but not at this high level of intensity, love and this many eager attendees.
I got the chance to interview Loud Thoughts before they took the stage, “We are finally sold out at Fischer Hall. We have been here so many times, almost too many times and just now with the help of these people it's been done.” One of the things the band is most excited for this next year is to write and record new music. “I feel like one of the things we have been focusing on is writing a lot of new music and so we have like a couple new songs that will be happening tonight. We have more that we have cooking up right now” said David Hansen. Minutes later David’s words came to life, Loud Thoughts definitely got the crowd going. Clapping, singing, dancing and enjoying all songs old & new. Loud Thoughts is currently working on raising money to help fund the recording of their new album. (Gofundme Link at the bottom of this article or can be reached at the link in my bio).
To wrap up the night the band V*A*S*E took the stage to celebrate and play some of their new songs from their latest EP release. To put into a few short words, V*A*S*E closing out the night was definitely the cherry on top. The band V*A*S*E is joined by lead vocalist Christian Thibodeau, guitarists Drew Kussmal & J.T. Jasinski and bassist Derian Parsons. The band closed out the night with a jumping, sweat dripping, head shaking take on (ICan’t Get No) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones. While members of the crowd joined on stage with the band and closed the night jumping, dancing and singing to the Stones. (Videos on my Instagram @barricadebabe)
Ascertainable Appearances
Peyton and I originally had a vision when planning and organizing this event, I think it went almost perfectly to plan! We were able to have two very cool vendors come out and support the event. This included AwYeah Records and Currency Clothing Company both local to the area. AwYeah Records is a Record company that also hosts a weekly podcast. This podcast was able to come in and record live during the course of the show. Peyton and I were able to speak on this podcast along with many of the concert attendees. Currency Clothing Company also had a table at the show where they were selling all types of Merch.
We also offered concert goers the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets. These raffle tickets could be purchased for four different types of raffle baskets we strategically put together to feature each of the bands. While also including a lot of really cool things in each basket. I personally custom painted four different vinyls for each of the bands as well as two A Night in Fischer Hall vinyls. Each of the baskets contained these custom vinyls, donated records from AwYeah Records, custom A Night in Fischer Hall totes & shot glasses (made by Peyton & I’s good friend Jill), custom made band cups and additional goodies. Even the bands donated merch items such as picks. T-shirts, drum heads and CDs to each of their baskets.
Finality
Words can’t describe how well each and every one of these bands performed this night. Fischer Hall holds up to 250+ people standing room, the place was packed with people of all ages. All of these bands were so deserving of the night they had and collectively everyone came together for a great night of love and music. As of right now we have been speaking of hosting another Night in Fischer Hall. Until next time, see you at the barricade!

Waco survivor says Netflix show finally exposes the FBI’s ‘shocking cover-up’ but the real story is even more disturbing
The US Sun By Katy Forrester, Senior Reporter Published: 16:07 ET, May 28 2020 Updated: 4:31 ET, May 29 2020 A SURVIVOR of the deadly Waco siege says the hit Netflix series finally exposes the truth about what he calls the FBI’s “shocking cover-up”, but the real story behind the show is far more complex and disturbing.

A Look Back At Waco — 30 Years After The Siege
— By Gavin Newsham
Charismatic "cult" leader David Koresh was the head of the Branch Davidians, and was killed in April 1993 by government agents during a raid on his Waco, Tx. compound following a 51-day standoff with the FBI and ATF. Three decades after the tragedy, its few survivors -- and those who tried to negotiate their release -- contend the outcome could have been far less deadly. Shutterstock
There was a time when David Thibodeau didn’t think about the events outside of Waco, Texas. back in April 1993.
Now 54 and living in Maine, Thibodeau was too busy drumming in his band to allow himself to relive the horrors of what took place there. “In a way, you start to forget and it kind of goes away,” he tells The New YorkPost.
“But then you turn on the TV and there will be footage of the burning buildings and it all comes flooding back.”
Thibodeau was one of just nine people to leave the blazing Mount Carmel Center alive following a 51-day standoff between the FBI and the center’s residents – the religious community known as Branch Davidians.
The standoff ended in the deaths of 76 people, burned alive as FBI attempts to end the siege failed catastrophically.
Thirty years later, Thibodeau’s almost surreal recollections of what took place typify the experiences of the few who managed to survive – as well as many of the law-enforcement agents and negotiators who attempted to deliver them to safety.

The saga at Waco began on February 28, 1993, when 75 agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms tried to serve an arrest warrant for weapons charges on David Koresh, leader of the Branch Davidians.
During the fracas, officers shot the group’s dogs, which prompted a gun battle with the compound’s residents that saw Koresh wounded along with four ATF agents and six Branch Davidians killed.
Born Vernon Howell in Houston, Texas, in 1959, Koresh had been a member of the Branch Davidians since 1981, becoming the leader in 1990 and changing his name in the process.
While previous leaders believed they were prophets of God, Koresh maintained he was the son of God – sent to Earth to prepare for the end of days while heading the messianic, apocalyptic Christian movement founded in 1955 as an offshoot of Seventh Day Adventism.
Under “orders” from God, Koresh took as many as 19 wives, reportedly fathering 13 children with them. His only legal wife was Rachel Jones, whom Koresh had married when she was just 14 years old.
Heather Jones was Rachel Jones’s niece, born at the compound in October 1983.

Her family’s association with the Davidians dated back to the 1950s when her grandparents became members around the same time the group established their headquarters 13 miles north of Waco.
“Growing up in Mount Carmel was fun at times,” she says. “We had lots of animals. We had a lake and a swimming pool.
“[But] I hated the long church services.”
Jones lost her grandfather, Perry, in the initial ATF raid and, later, her father, David, in the final assault almost two months later.
Her mother, Kathy, survived, having left Mount Carmel in 1990 when she separated from her husband.
Jones also lost her aunt Rachel, who died alongside the three children she had with Koresh, as well as another aunt, Rachel Jones’s sister, Michelle.
She still remembers being woken by the sound of bullets smashing through her bedroom walls and people nearby being wounded or killed when the ATF began the initial raid. “There is not one day that goes by that I don’t think about the events that happened in 1993,” she says.
“I’ll never have any closure.”
There’s widespread suspicion when writers such as myself contact those who were at Mount Carmel — ranks seem to close as word spreads about your interest in what transpired three decades ago.
On the “Branch Davidians Survivors Waco’ group on Facebook,” there are messages warning members to “trust no one.”
Former group member Kat Schroeder, whose husband died in the first ATF raid, is “pretty sure I’ve already answered every question that could be asked.”
Another Branch Davidian, Livingstone Fagan, can’t see the point in discussing Waco any further. “We’ve been down this road many times before,” he messages, before highlighting the “misinterpretation and disinformation” that typically occurs whenever Waco is discussed.
Fagan left the compound with his two children, Renae and Neharah, on March 23, but lost his wife, Evette, and mother, Doris Adina during the raid.

Losses endured by folks like Fagan and Jones were not untypical.
Ofelia Santoyo, who left on March 21, had her daughter, Juliette Martinez, 30, and her five grandchildren, aged 3-13, perish at Waco.
Sheila Martin, then 46, also left that day to be reunited with her two children, Kimberly and Daniel, who had been released earlier. But she left behind her husband, Douglas, and her four older children, all of whom died.
Among the dead, meanwhile, were 24 British followers – many recruited when Koresh toured the United Kingdom in the late 1980s looking for new followers.
A few hours after the ATF’s initial raid, FBI negotiator Gary Noesner was on a plane headed for Texas. “I don’t know that anyone can truly be prepared for an event as challenging as Waco,” he tells The Post. “It’s not so easy to come into such a scenario and say, ‘Forgot all the prior stuff, trust me, let’s make a deal and end this peacefully.’ ”
Noesner’s negotiating strategy sought to distance the FBI from the ATF’s more aggressive style and, in doing so, establish a new relationship with the Davidians.
“From the beginning, it was quite clear that Koresh had an inflated sense of self-importance,” he tells The Post. “But I believed he was still someone that we could find a way to work with.

“We didn’t lecture him. We found we achieved more when we stayed away from religion. “You cannot expect to talk someone out of their core beliefs.”
It seemed to work – at least initially.
In the first week of the standoff, 21 children were allowed to leave, including Heather Jones and her brothers, Kevin, 11, and Mark, 12.
Fourteen adults also left.
But no more.

Dick DeGuerin was the lawyer tasked with negotiating on Koresh’s behalf. Based in Houston, he was hired by Koresh’s mother, Bonnie Haldeman, but was initially denied access to his client.
One month after the first raid, however, DeGuerin was granted permission to speak with Koresh. “I made it clear that I was not a shill for the FBI,” DeGuerin tells The Post.
His first face-to-face meeting with Koresh was conducted through the compound’s front door, with DeGuerin sitting on a chair outside.
Later, he was allowed inside. “I found Koresh to be a very intelligent and articulate person,” recalls DeGuerin, now 82 and living in Houston. “He was also dyslexic but had still memorized the whole of the Bible.”
For DeGuerin, there was no problem working with Koresh. As he saw it, the force used by the ATF had initially been excessive, and Koresh’s resistance was understandable.
It’s a view later reinforced by the acquittal of 11 Branch Davidians on murder charges relating to the initial ATF raid in February 1994. “As a lawyer, my job was to defend David Koresh at any trial.
“Yes, he would probably be charged with murder or conspiracy to murder, but I had to convince him that he would be treated fairly under the criminal justice system.
“And I think we did.”

But progress was slow.
As the siege entered its fourth week, Noesner’s bosses began to change tack as a sense of fatigue set in. The FBI had more than 650 personnel at the compound and costs were mounting.
“They felt the best strategy was to ratchet up the pressure to force the Davidians out,” recalls Noesner. “[But] As a negotiator I knew this was not the way to go.”
Thibodeau agrees. “I think a lot of the Feds had never experienced anything like a religious group, committed to the scripture, that put God before everything,” he says.
Noesner left Mount Carmel on March 26, halfway through the siege as pressure mounted for a more aggressive approach. But “nobody came out after I was reassigned,” he says.
Still, by April 14, the situation appeared to be headed toward a nonviolent resolution. DeGuerin brokered a deal with Koresh for his surrender, providing his client was given time to complete his manuscript on the Seven Seals prophecy in the biblical Book of Revelations.
“I’d worked it out with the Texas Rangers that I would go in on the day of the surrender and walk out with Koresh and hand him over,” adds DeGuerin.
“Koresh even put it in writing.”
Thibodeau confirms this chain of events.
“I think a couple of more weeks at most and Koresh would have finished,” he says. “But the FBI thought it was another stalling tactic.” And the groundwork for the final – and fatal – assault began.
The following day, on April 15, FBI Commander Jeff Jamar headed to Washington, DC, to meet newly-appointed Attorney General Janet Reno and seek permission to end the standoff.

Various strategies were discussed, from digging tunnels to drugging the Davidians, but the preferred method – using tear gas and armored vehicles – was signed off on April 17.
Two days later, at around daybreak, the plan was put into action – with devastating consequences.
When the Davidians refused a final opportunity to surrender, the FBI, using tanks and combat vehicles, fired tear gas grenades through the building’s windows and smashed through walls.
A fire eventually broke out inside the compound. Fanned by strong winds, it tore through the large timber buildings.
David Koresh and 75 others died, including 22 children. Thibodeau still faults the government’s heavy-handed tactics.
“Those kids suffered immeasurably – I can’t imagine what they went through,” he says. “And yet the government asked why the kids just didn’t come out of the holes the tanks had made in the building.
“How the f–k do you grab your kids and come out with all that going on? Tell me that.”
Only nine people escaped with their lives, one of whom was Thibodeau. “Right place, right time” he reflects. “I climbed out a window because I didn’t want to burn to death.
“Yes, I thought they were going to shoot me but that’s what I would have preferred to be honest.”
Thirty years on, the blame game continues.

The FBI and the Justice Department maintain the Branch Davidians started the fire deliberately, while survivors insist it was the FBI’s tear gas that ignited the blaze.
Noesner believes the siege could have ended differently. “We had a chance to get everyone out alive but that’s not the general opinion of the FBI personnel there,” he says.
While some FBI actions were criticized in the official Danforth Investigation into Waco in 2000, federal officials were cleared of any wrongdoing, leading to accusations of a whitewash.
“At every single stage, the government were the aggressors,” says Thibodeau. “They came in with helicopters and tanks. They shot the dogs. Even when the negotiations were working, they increased the pressure.
Noesner, meanwhile, became Chief of the FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit and wrote a book about his career, “Stalling For Time: My Life as an FBI Hostage Negotiator.”

DeGuerin remains convinced Koresh would have surrendered. “It was just a matter of time,” he says.
While the siege was over, for survivors it was the start of a lifetime of trying to come to terms with events.
Heather Jones, for instance, is now a 39-year-old nurse living just 12 minutes away from Mount Carmel.
She still suffers from severe PTSD and remains angry about the coverup she believes happened. “I still live in fear to this day,” she says. “They will never tell the truth about what they did to us and all the horrible things they did to my family.
Thibodeau also still struggles to process what happened.
“The trauma stays with you on a cellular level,” said the author and musician. “And that’s a very hard way to live your life.”

I watched the first few episodes of Waco and it’s a really great show.
Taylor Kitsch is killing it as David Koresh! I think he plays the cult leader perfectly and you can very much see why people went and stayed with him because he was quite charming and seemed quite convincing really. Always calm even under pressure like any good leader even when he was shot!
The story based on the real Waco siege is always an interesting one. After infiltrating them the one guy tried to call off the storming of the castle but they wouldn’t listen to him. They did have a huge store of weapons which he didn’t see though after they were conveniently moved to another room which he was very close to at one point with the ice cream scene. It does make you wonder what the weapons cache really was for and maybe they were better taking them down, or maybe they would have never used them. Maybe it was just for those circumstances only, if they ever got raided although it got them raided. It did seem a bit extreme though.
Of course Michael Shannon plays another FBI agent perfectly just like in Boardwalk Empire. He’s great as the negotiator Gary Noesner on whose book the show is based. Shea Whigham also of Boardwalk Empire is another cop and it’s great to see them in a show together again as they are both great actors.
It is also based on David Thibodeau’s book who is played very well by Rory Culkin who after meeting David at a bar and playing with his band ends up heading back with them for the night. The night just happens to become longer than one night and he falls for a girl and David’s charms and the lifestyle.
It also features Melissa Benoist from Supergirl as Koresh’s only legal wife, even though he took most of the camp as lovers even though he didn’t want to enjoy sex so it seemed a little odd. He just thought he needed to make babies ... but if he didn’t enjoy himself he would have never got babies ... am I the only one who thought that? lol. Anyways, she’s really good and you can tell how much she cared for him.
I can’t wait to watch the rest and see the siege play out until the end.
Taylor Kitsch and Rory Culkin <3

It’s Non-Fiction November time again and I’ve decided to take the opportunity to try and read some of the non-fiction that has been languishing on my TBR for a while. I do read a fair bit of non-fiction anyway but it’s always nice to focus on it a bit more. I do have some fiction books that I need to read for blog tours this month so it won’t be a month entirely filled with non-fiction but the factual books will be my main focus other than review books.
Non-Fiction November is run by Olive at abookolive and Gemma at Non Fic Books.
So without further ado, here are the books I’m going to be choosing from:
Waco by David Thibedeau
As we’re already a couple of days into November I’ve already started reading this book and have been riveted by it. I’ve always had a fascination with cults but Waco is one that I’ve discovered that I didn’t know anywhere near as much about as I thought I did. I’ll be reviewing this one when I’ve finished it and have got my thoughts together.
James Baldwin and the 1980s by Joseph Vogel
This is an ARC that I’ve had for a while and have been putting it off because I feel a bit intimidated by it. It’s years since I’ve read anything by James Baldwin but I’m still keen to know more about him. I think this will be such an interesting read and am going to use Non-Fiction November to push myself to finally pick it up.
The Vanity Fair Diaries by Tina Brown
Shamefully this ARC has been on my TBR for around a year and I still haven’t got to it so this is high on my list to get to this month. I think it will be an easier read and something I can dip in and out of so I’m looking forward to getting to it.
Histories by Sam Guglani
This is a book I was sent for review fairly recently but I’m so keen to read this book so wanted to add it to this TBR. I think a book of stories about the NHS will make for a moving and interesting read so I’m keen to read this asap!
Mansfield and Me by Sarah Laing
This is a graphic memoir of Katherine Mansfield which I treated myself to recently and I’m so looking forward to curling up with a blanket and devouring this book in an afternoon.
How to be Human by Ruby Wax
This book was sent to me for review in the summer and I really want to read it soon. Books about mental health always draw me to them so I feel sure this one will be my kind of book.
Truth or Dare by Justine Picardie
So this book has been on my TBR for years and years. I bought it in hardback when it came out as I’d loved a couple of Justine Picardie’s earlier books but for some reason I’ve never picked it up. I spotted it among my books when having a sort out in the summer and have kept it out to read so hopefully I’ll get to it this month.
The Little Big Things by Henry Fraser
This is another recent addition to my TBR and I’ve been so keen to read it. I have an incomplete spinal cord injury (amongst other things) and have been seeking out books about people who have SCI. This sounds like such an inspiring memoir and I can’t wait to read it.
Women and Power by Mary Beard
My husband bought me this for Christmas last year and it’s such a small book I feel sure I can squeeze it in at some point this month.
The Upstarts by Brad Stone
This is an audio book that I’ve had for a while and am quite keen to listen to it. It’s nice to have an audio option and this one seems like it will be an engaging and interesting read.
Deceit and Self-Deception by Robert Trivers
I’ve had this book on my TBR for quite a while and I have started reading it before but found it too much so put it down again. I do still want to read it though so I’m thinking I might read a chapter here and there over the month rather than trying to read it in one go.
Rock Stars Stole My Life by Mark Ellen
This is yet another book that I’ve had since it was first published and my husband (who’s slowly discovering a love of reading) read it over the summer and has been recommending it to me ever since. It looks like a really fun, easy read so I’m expecting that I’ll get to this one.
Mercury and Me by Jim Hutton
I went to see Bohemian Rhapsody last week (I loved it) and it made me want to read more about Freddie Mercury. It seems I’ve read all the biographies I own on him already apart from this one so I’m sure I’ll pick this up very soon.
Three Things You Need To Know About Rockets by Jessica Fox
I believe this is a book about a woman who worked at NASA and gives it all up to move to Scotland to work in a book shop. It sounds like a perfect read to me and I’m really looking forward to it.
When We Rise by Cleve Jones
I saw an interview with Cleve Jones earlier this year and found him to be such a fascinating man that I immediately bought his book. I still haven’t made time to read it though and I really want to get to it soon. Hopefully this month!
Twenty-Six Seconds by Alexandra Zapruder
This is a book about the famous Zapruder film of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It came up on a recommendation from Amazon a while ago and I couldn’t resist buying it!
Decluttering at the Speed of Life by Dana K. White
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you’ll know that I can’t resist a book about decluttering and this is my latest purchase. I like to keep myself inspired to keep my house organised so I reckon I’ll be reading this one before the month is over!
The Body Keeps Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk
This is another book that I’ve had for a while and I’ve put off reading it while getting my health on a bit more of an even keel. It sounds like such a fascinating read about how the body and mind affect each other and how emotional issues can manifest physically, and how the body feels pain. I think this will be a brilliant read and I want to make time to properly read this so I may not get to it this month if it’s very in-depth but I would like to read it soon.
Obviously this is a long list so I know I’m very unlikely to read all of these books but I wanted to give myself options to choose from and will aim to read as many as I can.
Are you taking part in Non-Fiction November this time? What non-fiction do you plan on reading this month? I’d love to know. 🙂
It’s Non-Fiction November 2018 time! Here’s my TBR… It's Non-Fiction November time again and I've decided to take the opportunity to try and read some of the non-fiction that has been languishing on my TBR for a while.
