July #Roll100 picks! A good smattering of genres 😄

pickLoving this new-to-me author. It‘s basically intellectual catnip. Every book has some kind of erudite theme - art, Egyptology, architecture, etc. Always feature interesting characters and some kind of mystery element. Slight romance but not main feature. I‘ve been diving into her backlist and have not had a miss yet. Highly recommended!
@Jerdencon and @TheAromaofBooks I mailed two #TravelingThrills books to Denise today- the tagged and The Last To Disappear 😊
pickLoved the premise of this book, but thought it could have been more. A pick, but a low pick.
pickThis was a fun book to read. Anita, an upstarting immigrant artist, is over shadowed by her jealous white husband artist. I wanted to see more of Anita and how she interacted with Jack, and their peers. Raquel‘s later timeline felt disjointed, even as it felt similar. So there‘s that. It built up to connect, though it never really felt it did. Anita is petty against Jack and I‘m all here for it. The ending felt rushed; little off character.
pickThree Canandian college friends take a trip to New York City. Their adventures are expressive and so much that happens in this book feels urgent like it burns too hot too fast. I love the character and page designs, especially their trip to the museum. The ending felt like falling flat on my face.

pick3 months and 1,162 pages later, I‘m finally done with The Power Broker! Totally lives up to its reputation as one of the greatest biographies of all time. Caro‘s meticulous attention to detail and captivating narrative style make this a true epic. Grateful to have learned so much about the political history & urban geography of the city I now call home. 🌟5/5🌟
