Typos are annoying. Half this book is about cemeteries: creation, types, architecture, monument styles, headstone placement, etc before even getting to the actual symbols.

Actually read more than the current page count, reading out of order. Not enough pictures, blurry photos with too light font color captions. Specific to America, and only the most common symbols. But some good info.

Stella is on page 237 of 308 of Full of Myself: A Graphic Memoir About Body Image
This is difficult to read about…depression, bulimia, self-harm. It’s well-done but I feel bad going through this author’s journey.

Stella is on page 243 of 640 of John Williams: A Composer's Life
Loving the content. Really the best biography of John Williams. But the text is so tiny! Reading 20 pages feels like 100, for information and time to digest.

I can't remember what books I've read. Grew up in my mom's elementary school library. Read Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary. At home read my mom's collection of Dick Francis and Agatha Christie (Miss Marple) books. But I can't remember which ones...Anyone else have that problem for books read prior to joining Goodreads?

Stella is on page 72 of 176 of Cosy: The British Art of Comfort
Author starts out dissing the Danish hygge phenomenon, specifically its hijacking by interior designers for magazines and Instagram, losing its true meaning. Instead she insists on British cosy, “the thing you do when no one is watching.” But goes on to quote from fashion designers and offers specific brand names for clothing, lighting, etc. So…contradictory?
