I liked the Heroines part of the story but the book took some unexpected turns and at one point I was thinking "ok, let's get back to the Heroines..."

The geometric abstraction of Piet Mondrian is presented with 12 selected panels, together with short texts that provide expert guidance to help viewers understand how this style developed.
This is a large paperback - the pages could act as mini posters.

This was an interesting book. I liked reading about how the author and her partner discovered ways to entertain themselves without spending money. I've read several of these "one-year project" type books and I always enjoy them.

This is the 5th book in the series and I've read 6 of them so far. Fun mystery series. The main character is a bookbinder and restorer, which is cool. I love books about people who love books. Supporting characters are very interesting as well. Check it out, you'll love it! The 1st book in the series is called Homicide in Hardcover and the 8th book is coming out this June, so the series continues, yay!

This is such a fun book! We had a blast at lunch trying to guess all the famous characters from their silhouettes. There are no answers offered in the book, so it is good to have a group to help figure them out. Since then I've lent the book to a friend, hope I get it back!Highly recommend. I'm now an Olly Moss fan for sure.

I've read several of Jen's books, and this one did not disappoint. A snarkily funny account of her weight loss journey.


Women Artists in History: From Antiquity to the Present (4th Edition)
Review Date: 8/20/2022


I loved learning about women artists, and there are photos of the works, but would have enjoyed it more if photos were in color. Apparently this is more of a textbook format - still full of good information.
