Hard to Hold On To: A Hard Ink Novella | Laura Kaye

pick

Another good story in the Hard Ink series about a group of former military people who were used as scapegoats to cover up crimes. This book is about Easy and the woman he rescues from a human trafficking/drug ring and falls for. This is a great story arc that needs to be read in order. Lots of action and an ongoing mystery the men are working to solve keeps you invested. 4⭐️ #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 #LitsyLoveReads #LitsyLove

Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed | Carl Zimmer

pick

Fascinating way to learn a little about a lot of various science. This book collects submitted tattoos that are scientific in nature and then provides short and succinct background on the scientific context of the tattoo. Really good writing, I learned a lot.
3/5 read to see some really impressive tattoos and to learn a little about a LOT of different topics.

The Ink Garden of Brother Theophane | C. M. Millen

so-so

I had several issues with this book.

The poetic rhyming was forced at a few points. The illustrations for this story, supposedly set in early medieval Ireland (with monks shown creating manuscripts similar to the Book of Kells), depict modern shoes and Roman style tonsures when the Irish during this period had their own distinct tonsure. ⬇️

bibliothecarivs But the biggest problem I had with the book was the central story idea that no one had thought of using colour to illustrate the monks's writings and drawings until the protagonist accidentally stained his fingers with blackberries. Everything, we are told several times, was brown and boring until Theophane had his juicy revelation and instantly the monastery fully embraced colour in art (and interior design). ⬇️ 3y

bibliothecarivs That apparently happened because he was the only monk who noticed and appreciated how colourful the natural world outside their windows was. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't buy that premise socially or historically. Humans have used color in their art since cave paintings. ⬇️ 3y

bibliothecarivs So was there ever a moment in time when the monks producing these beautiful manuscripts shifted from not using colour to suddenly doing so? I doubt it, but I'm open to learning if I'm wrong. 3y
