pickI found this look at the indoors super interesting, especially considering that we live so much of our lives inside in modern society. It covers a wide variety of approaches, but maybe take it with a grain a salt, as WeWork gets a lot of praise and, well… Also, it starts by looking at the bacteria all over our homes, so fair warning if you want to skip past that bit.
Alright, it's November, so it looks like only half my #URC2023 is going to be queer romance. Meanwhile, I went back to my past unassigned reads and found 4 books that fit prompts - the one not included here is The Story of My Life by Helen Keller for a blind author.
I'll actually be reading Lady Susan a second time later this month for my read-along Twitch stream.
“The Bauhaus- Each wing of the Bauhaus- one for workshops, one for classrooms, and one for living quarters“ This describes a certain type of building and also shows as ketch of it.

My library's adult summer reading program includes a weekly raffle entry and, if you read a book in the genre of the week you receive a bonus prize of a $5 voucher for their book sale or their little Library Bookshop (with some of their nicer used books).

pickI had not heard of Zaha Hadid…I‘m so glad I picked up this book! An architect with an unique eye for design, Hadid had a hard time receiving recognition for her designs due to her gender and her ethnic background. Yet, she persisted. This #PictureBook biography lists her best known accomplishments and presents the text in an unique way, much like her designs. Great illustrations too. #BBRC #LetterW
