I read this a few months back, at times this was a touch dry but the examples and illustrations included made this an easier, fun read.

Keith Houston throws in many facts and trivia of 11 typography symbols, at times this is a touch overwhelming but at the same time fascinating. One of these is how the ampersand used to be the 27th letter of the English alphabet. I‘m still grappling with this one.

DogMomIrene Did it have the same meaning? That‘s wild that a word like “and” in symbolic form was considered a letter. 1w
AnishaInkspill @DogMomIrene yes same meaning, it is amazing to think that this was once a letter 1w

Square Haunting: Five Women, Freedom and London Between the Wars by Francesca Wade is lined up for next months #VirginiaBloomsberries. I started reading it and 😍. This is a #nfnov, a #nonfiction that covers the lives of 5 women, three of whom are HD (Hilda Doolittle), Dorothy L Sayers and Virginia Woolf.

The book consists entirely of infographics exploring various facets of the Marvel Comics Universe. Some were very helpful (like the Marvel map of Manhattan, family trees, and speed rankings of various characters) and others were so funny (like the the picture of Black Widow‘s emblem that states her sense of urgency, either “Russian” or “Takin‘ her time”).

Curtis walks readers through his life with humor and ample reflection. It was interesting reading about his experiences in his family's restaurant alongside his experiences as he grew into young adulthood. This was a pleasure to read. #nonfiction #LGBTQIA

4⭐️ I quite liked this book. Very introspective and informative. There were a number of things I liked about the book; would like to purchase a paperback copy when it comes out. And he mentions what he intended to say in regards to the Nikki Haley comment that lead to his firing #2024 #memoir #religion #nonfiction #politics

Fascinating and enjoyable are not how I would have described reading this. I‘ve had this on my tbr since 2016, I‘ve always imagined this to be a difficult read, but instead it was the complete opposite, and what a read!!! I didn‘t grasp everything but I was okay with this as I intend to read this several more times more whilst trying to get more familiar with global ancient history.

I bailed on the book about 70% into the book. I subscribe to the author‘s YouTube channel and it just seemed to be a further extension of his channel. I wished he had done something a little different than what he does on his channel. #2024 #nonfiction #politics #americanpolitics #bookreview
