pick#CoverStories Day 20: #Bridge - Fats‘ review:
“TL;DR: A woman was in charge of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Before reading this book, I had no idea who Emily Warren Roebling was. Set during the 1860s, How Emily Saved the Bridge tells the story of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Of course, the story goes beyond that.”

Road trip! (Maybe I should have waited til I could photosnap a bridge… ) #Wichita2DightonKS
We went & found the 3 covered bridges that are in Frederick County (there are 6 total in MD). In all our travels we‘ve never seen one. It was beautiful day, fall is slowly starting to peak through here. I‘m slowly getting back into a reading rhythm after months of barely making it through a book. Still have reviews to post, slowly getting there.
pickI'm starting to really love Kate Grenville. The novel is a tiny bit heavy-handed here and there and to be honest I think one entire storyline could have been left out, but I loved Harley and Dennis, the setting, the detail, the beautiful descriptions. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love me some nonfiction! #TLT #ThreeListThursday
“Theodore Burr (1771–1822) was the most prominent of America‘s three early nineteenth century bridge-building pioneers, the others being Timothy Palmer (1751–1821) and Lewis Wernwag (1769–1843). All three built superlative long-span timber bridges.
A transplant from northwestern Connecticut, Theodore Burr moved to Oxford, New York in 1793.“
