This is very interesting. It's more a reflection on time and a history of how it is measured and how that has changed than a self help book of any sort. I would recommend not reading this if you are seriously burnt out already.

Big Time: A Novel | Ben H. Winters

Although I enjoyed this novel, and I like reading a story about a hero at the FDA (they do so much to keep us safe), I found the story itself to be a little flimsy. The motives of the bad guy never quite ring true for me. It seems more like a collection of elements and character types mixed together than it does like a cohesive story. I found it fun to read while I was reading, but I don't think this one is going to stick with me.

BarbaraBB Winters is a hit or miss for me 3d
ImperfectCJ @BarbaraBB That's been my experience, too 3d

I watched this movie last week (Tom Hanks, #iykyk) & cried as hard as I've cried at a movie in some time. I didn't know it was based on a graphic novel until the credits rolled, & I immediately ordered it. The premise is brilliant - the "camera" stays in one place for the entirety, as we jump back & forth through time, often with multiple years in different, overlapping panes on the same page. Almost no words. So good.

If you‘re new/curious about #quantumphysics, #parallelrealities and the illusion of time… this illustrated all of that for me through mini storytellings! Super short and sweet, great read! 179 pages, Highly recommend (:

Excerpt from chapter “19 April 1905” page 22.

“Each future moves in a different direction of time. Each future is real. At every point of decision, whether to visit a woman in Fribourg or to buy a new coat, the world splits into three worlds, each with the same people but with different fates for those people. In time there is an affinity of worlds.”
Sooooo eye opening- incredible perspectives! 👁️

This was picked by @WildAlaskaBibliophile for one of my #AuldLangSpine books. This was just adorable! I loved how it ended, and I loved the work the character put in himself. @monalyisha

WildAlaskaBibliophile Glad you enjoyed it! 💓 2mo

Trying to keep up with my weekly neewspaper reading. Whenever I am up to date, a special edition comes out and gets me off course. The last one was a best literature of 2024 edition. Of course I had to read it more closely. 🙈🙈🙈

This was a great picture that depicted the bird flying through the times of the bones, back to when they were still alive. Great illustrations!
