so-soI found this just to be an okay book. Some of it resonated with me, while other parts didn't. At times, she seemed to be rather preachy about certain topics I'm not sure she had the knowledge to be. 3⭐️
😊Happy Reading 😊

I did it!
As in, I finished this absolute tome of a history book and with it I reached my yearly goal of 12 non-fiction books. And there's even a month and a half left for me to add a couple more (much shorter and faster reads).

I had become Korean American.
And that was okay with me.
I am ready to come home.

I read this a few months back, at times this was a touch dry but the examples and illustrations included made this an easier, fun read.
Keith Houston throws in many facts and trivia of 11 typography symbols, at times this is a touch overwhelming but at the same time fascinating. One of these is how the ampersand used to be the 27th letter of the English alphabet. I‘m still grappling with this one.
Square Haunting: Five Women, Freedom and London Between the Wars by Francesca Wade is lined up for next months #VirginiaBloomsberries. I started reading it and 😍. This is a #nfnov, a #nonfiction that covers the lives of 5 women, three of whom are HD (Hilda Doolittle), Dorothy L Sayers and Virginia Woolf.
pickThe book consists entirely of infographics exploring various facets of the Marvel Comics Universe. Some were very helpful (like the Marvel map of Manhattan, family trees, and speed rankings of various characters) and others were so funny (like the the picture of Black Widow‘s emblem that states her sense of urgency, either “Russian” or “Takin‘ her time”).

pickCurtis walks readers through his life with humor and ample reflection. It was interesting reading about his experiences in his family's restaurant alongside his experiences as he grew into young adulthood. This was a pleasure to read. #nonfiction #LGBTQIA
pick4⭐️ I quite liked this book. Very introspective and informative. There were a number of things I liked about the book; would like to purchase a paperback copy when it comes out. And he mentions what he intended to say in regards to the Nikki Haley comment that lead to his firing #2024 #memoir #religion #nonfiction #politics
