pickIn addition to the physical history, Roland also discusses how notebooks were used throughout history - in accounting, art, natural history, writing, etc. and various ways notebooks were perceived. I.e., in the 1200s when clergy refused to use anything other than parchment being suspicious of paper's novelty and its infidel and recycled origins: “one opponent fulminated against the idea that the word of God could be written on menses-stained rag.“
pickThis was a great audiobook. Henry was the reader along with his wife, Stacey. It is incredible all the things that Henry Winkler has done in his life along with being inspiring.

The MC in this book is named Emily, which is only one reason I #gifted it to my coworker Emily when she left for another job. #aboutabook

More fun book mail. I read nonfiction but not enough and both of these books look interesting.
Many thanks to @harpercollins and @williammorrowbooks for these #gifted books!

Most will go into my three @littlefreelibrary after I read them.
Many thanks to @storeypub for these #gifted books.
pickEverything a quality non-fiction book should be - informative, accessible, absorbing, well researched and absolutely fascinating! The writing is highly engaging, never getting bogged down in dry details, and has warmth & humour. The subject matter is more complex & intriguing than I thought possible! Researching this must've been an absolute joy for the author & that joy most definitely comes across! Impeccably referenced, a fabulous read.
These books were on my radar to read especially “A Tempest of Tea”. I was pleasantly surprised when Macmillan Publishing sent me a copy of these audiobooks.
Tomorrow, I will start listening to “A Tempest of Tea” by Hafsah Faisal. Thank you to @macmillan.audio for these #gifted audiobooks!
