Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe was beautiful! I’ve had the hardcover on my bookshelves for over two years. I also knew that Lin-Manuel Miranda was an excellent narrator. But the more people told me to read it, the more I put it off. Yes, I blame my irrational brain. I wanted to read it but then I refused because others encouraged me to. Thankfully, Hazel picked it for our June Epic Recs, so I couldn’t deny her pick. I went on to alternate between print and audio.
Hot off the Press – July 25, 2016
The week of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has arrived. I think this pretty much eclipses any other releases scheduled for this week. It’s no wonder there are so few other titles to pick up at the bookstores. I did pre-order the paperback of Backlash though, so that’s something.
Kindle Upgrade
Three months ago I weighed in on the Kindle Oasis ahead of its release date. I noted the features I wished Amazon had announced and evaluated what they did announce. The Kindle Oasis wasn’t the ideal device that I wished for but in the end, I still decided to upgrade from my Kindle Paperwhite (2012).
Project 52 – Beach
In light of this week’s theme, Beach, of course I had to set out to the seaside. Actually I was hoping for a sunny day to capture a summery vacation mood. Alas, the weather didn’t agree with me. Instead, it was overcast with the constant threat of rain. Thankfully, the view was clear enough to see Malaysia on the horizon. So with the help of my sister I then managed to capture the moody waters to match the beautiful cover of The Passenger by Alexandra Bracken.
Hot off the Press – July 18, 2016
You’d think the summer months would be prime time for new young adult releases. Vacations beg for new books as readers kick back and enjoy some respite. In any case, there still might be books that capture your interest this week. If not, I’m sure TBR (to be read) piles aren’t complaining back home.
