 The Thousandth Floor
Katharine McGee I feel like I’ve met a hundred characters and the author is still world building. I like the world and I can sort of see where the plot is building, but I haven’t quite fallen into the story yet. I thought this would be the kind of book I would get addicted to. I don't know if it's my level of tiredness each evening or the story, but The Thousandth Floor just hasn't fully captured my interest. There are moments of awesome, but mostly it's just basic reading.

 The Thousandth Floor
Katharine McGee I've been in the mood for a YA novel and started reading this book last night. I'm only a few pages in, but the premise is interesting. Essentially, it's looking at the class structure of a super skyscraper. The book is set about 100 years in the future with all the tech to go with it. I've read McGee before and enjoyed her alternative history storylines and contemporary writing style. *Books shared here are affiliate links for Bookshop.org  The Cheese Chronicles: A Journey Through the Making and Selling of Cheese in America, from Field to Farm to Table
Liz Thorpe I’m still working on this book and I'm ready to be done with it. It's not that the content is bad, it's just very repetitive. For the bulk of the text, Thorpe walks through a little history and some tasting notes for various cheesemakers and creameries. If these sections were fewer and she focused more on her personal history, I think it would come across a bit livelier. That said, there are several cheeses I will now be looking for. *Books shared here are affiliate links for Bookshop.org  The Cheese Chronicles: A Journey Through the Making and Selling of Cheese in America, from Field to Farm to Table
Liz Thorpe I’m getting on a plane on Monday and I needed a book that could travel well. I perused my shelves and opted to pick up this one. I enjoy a good cheese and am looking forward to learning more about it as a food culture. So far, this book just makes me want to enjoy a lot of charcuterie boards. *Books shared here are affiliate links for Bookshop.org Changing things up here.

Kat Leyh This was a delightful graphic novel that was parts heartwarming and zany. It's a great story of friendship and acceptance. Classic Calligraphy for Beginners: Essential Step-by-Step Techniques for Copperplate and Spencerian Scripts Younghae Chung I mostly perused this for the pretty pictures. While I find most calligraphy books are similar, I liked that this one chose to focus on two specific styles of calligraphy. The iPhone Photography Book Scott Kelby This is my current read. The author’s somewhat snarky attitude is getting to me, but the tips are sound. The book includes both technique and technical information and that makes the advice well rounded and actionable. It makes me want to get our there and take more pictures. *Titles shared here use affiliate links for Bookshop.org |
