It’s a good historical art history. Enjoyable but I keep putting aside while I read library books on deadline. Will get there.

On hold

Good but put aside until I finish others.

NOOOO!

Well… a bit puzzled still but it continues to come together more and more. Very layered really, after a start that felt superficial. And the writing has held my interest, it’s good. Need to know how it will end.

Stopped to read A Necessary Evil, fun and perfect for the mood i'm in.

Loving it.

I'm reading "The Return" by Hisham Matar

Beautifully written but often gut wrenching story, rather account. As I read I think of the despotic dictators (by any other name) who have fallen yet continue to rise. America is incomparable to these circumstances, we are novices at our own new tyranny, even though our history is filled with bloodshed, but we have taken up a different sort of arms. Not here! ?

Returned unread. Awful

Love this book, the beginnings of botany and gardening, but around 500 pages so my electronic download went back to the library and I'm on the waiting list to finish it.

I'm loving this book. A trip down memory lane for me, at least from the 60s on, plus history I'd never known about, or forgotten. Well written, but a bit encyclopedic. My problem is I mostly download ebooks from the library, and if I can't get to finish them, for whatever reason, I have to reorder and wait again, adding undue suspense.
