This is very interesting. It's more a reflection on time and a history of how it is measured and how that has changed than a self help book of any sort. I would recommend not reading this if you are seriously burnt out already.

Big Time: A Novel | Ben H. Winters

Mehso-so

Although I enjoyed this novel, and I like reading a story about a hero at the FDA (they do so much to keep us safe), I found the story itself to be a little flimsy. The motives of the bad guy never quite ring true for me. It seems more like a collection of elements and character types mixed together than it does like a cohesive story. I found it fun to read while I was reading, but I don't think this one is going to stick with me.

BarbaraBB Winters is a hit or miss for me 5d
ImperfectCJ @BarbaraBB That's been my experience, too 4d

If you‘re new/curious about #quantumphysics, #parallelrealities and the illusion of time… this illustrated all of that for me through mini storytellings! Super short and sweet, great read! 179 pages, Highly recommend (:

Excerpt from chapter “19 April 1905” page 22.

“Each future moves in a different direction of time. Each future is real. At every point of decision, whether to visit a woman in Fribourg or to buy a new coat, the world splits into three worlds, each with the same people but with different fates for those people. In time there is an affinity of worlds.”
Sooooo eye opening- incredible perspectives! 👁️

Trying to keep up with my weekly neewspaper reading. Whenever I am up to date, a special edition comes out and gets me off course. The last one was a best literature of 2024 edition. Of course I had to read it more closely. 🙈🙈🙈

Lookit! 🥹 Yeah, I just found another picture book I could happily see the pages made into monthly entries for a year's wall calendar so I could always have the art on display. Picture books as the new coffee table books: big art but in lighter volumes.

The sweetest little snake. Yes, I went back and read it again. The ART!

Something of a follow up to They All Saw a Cat by the same author, in that it again deals with shifting perspectives. There's a more muted palette and a more layered collage style in this one, it's giving me earth tones Eric Carle. Beautiful, almost meditative experience. Could definitely see it becoming a classic bedtime story.

This series about Tara who is stuck in 18 November is some of the best books I‘ve read in at long time. #danishbooks
