so-so(2012) So this is actually a #ReadYourEbooks pick from June that I started but wasn't feeling so figured I'd abandon it. But it hung around on my phone beckoning Come on, you know you want to know. So I gave in and finished. It's a historical technothriller set at the birth of MIT, heavy on “historical,“ light on “thriller“. Several things didn't work for me, but a book that refuses abandonment gets my respect.
@Bookwormjillk I‘m sorry for the delayed opening! Just got back from Portland and ripped right into it. The books both look so good, and I love the little seashells and seed papers! Also that is my FAVE candle company and I haven‘t tried Sm‘oreos, I‘m super excited for both. Thank you for a great New England beach trip (that postcard took me right to Watch Hill ❤️❤️) #staycationswap
pickAfter enjoying Call Me By Your Name and Find Me, I read this one. At first, I was not a fan, but as the story developed I enjoyed the nuances of the character's actions. We often are a reflection of our friends and they can bring our the best or worst in us.
I forgot to post my #WeeklyFavorites for April.

~Witness

pickThis was pretty good and I'll be checking out the museum when I go to Boston this summer! My #doublespin for March @TheAromaofBooks
“Boston‘s cityscape is a perfect blend of history and modernity. Cobblestone streets lead to towering skyscrapers, while the Charles River reflects the city‘s timeless charm. From the iconic brownstones of Beacon Hill to the futuristic Seaport skyline, every corner tells a story of resilience and innovation. #Boston #Cityscape #HistoryMeetsModern”
