pickSoothingly completely unrelated to anything I'm normally interested in. Has black-and-white images which helps illustrate the features of the churches it talks about.
Some poor editing (sentences don't make sense, spelling mistakes), it jumped out at me quite a bit. Did also jump around a bit, sometimes mentioning a new term randomly, only defining it a few pages (or chapters) later.
Making good progress on #10BeforeTheEnd.
This is soothingly slow and focused on small, mildly interesting details which I don't have to remember if I don't want to, which is making it the ideal reading for me today, it seems.
