3 ⭐This book uses the idea of amusement park to discuss the various animals one would find in the ocean. It‘s interesting and educational. I really do like the illustrations however, as fantastic as they are I think they do little to service the information that‘s being portrayed. This book would have been better with real pictures of the real animals.

Busy weekend coming up. Confident I‘ll finish Audition soon, it‘s a short one. Sucker Punch has a lot more holds than the notebook so I‘ll most likely dive into that one next!!

This was such a fun book to read. The pages are a big reason (in another post). Short essays about most, if not all, things letter writing. Paper, envelopes, style, “how to write about (subject). Syme‘s goal is to get more people interested in writing letters, an activity she started during the pandemic. 5 🌟

For the next two days (I think, it may just be today and tomorrow), Barnes & Noble members can use PREORDER25 to get 25% off preorders. It‘s not valid on signed copies, though. But Rebecca Solnit, Joyce Vance, Ali Hazelwood (one just announced today as well as the companion to Bride), Frederik Backman, and so many others have new books coming out. I may have indulged a little…a lot…

ravenlee Oh! And premium members also get the 10% member discount on print books. But the 25% is good on ebook and audiobook preorders, too. 2d

OK stories about NYC people. Barkeepers, old people, runaways, and others. Mostly right after 9-11. Best for native New Yorkers probably.

Any collection of writing runs the risk of being uneven, and this is a bit. It starts off with 2 somewhat off-putting essays, but when it gets into the travel stuff, it‘s great, especially the 100+ pages on China. The end is a little bumpy as well, but overall I found this a really worthwhile read.
