This was an enjoyable reread of a book I haven‘t read in several years. The idea of running away and hiding in a museum is a fun one, and there‘s a bit of a mystery for Claudia and Jamie to investigate as well.

It‘s also been a while since I spent a quiet Friday night with a book and cup of tea, and it was very much appreciated.

Sarahreadstoomuch One of my favorites growing up! 2w
mabell I love this book! The planning and independence of the whole scheme was so thrilling to me! I‘ve reread it as an adult, but it has been quite a few years. Loved the description of the Automat, too! 2w
Daisey @Sarahreadstoomuch @mabell I was so entertained reading it again. I loved their planning, and I was amused when they didn‘t even realize they were in the newspapers as if their parents wouldn‘t be looking for them. 2w

“This text is based on Nelson Molina‘s career of finding worth in everything, and the story of his museum acts as a counternarrative to our overuse of disposable goods.”

From Pirouette: Turning Points in Design, MOMA. I had no idea there was a particular refugee flag. I learned so much today in such a fun & amazing way.

Vespa Nyx wants nothing more than to work with "Unnaturals", creatures of myths and legends like the Manticore, but a mere girl could never in a society where the saints are Darwin and Tesla and anything magic is punishable by death. When a Tinker boy steals an amulet from her, Vespa finds herself embroiled in the dark underpinnings of her society and fighting for what is right.
Loved the atmospheric world and characters and the heisty elements.

Jess is dealing with her mother's unexpected death when she finds herself the curator of the Museum of Ordinary People. I loved the idea of preserving people's "useless" mementos. I didn't love the predictability of the story. I wish the end didn't rely so heavily of the "big reveal" concept- one for Jess, one for the museum, and one for Alex! But it was still satisfying.

The August 4, 2025 issue of The New Yorker arrived today. I love the cover featuring the steps of the MET. Below are 3 previous issues: 1955, 1977, 2007 whose covers featured the MET. Just “for fun” post. I feel blessed that we are but a train ride away from this museum, with all it‘s beauty for us to peruse.

Lesliereadsalot Great cover! I had a New Yorker subscription for so many years and I still love their covers. 3mo
