How many books can you be reading at one time? And does anyone give you grief about having more than one read "in progress"? #somanybooks #solittletime #nowreading

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire in Boston. The tragedy took almost 500 lives & injured hundreds more. It also lead to changes in building code and safety standards and advances in treating burn patients. I bought this for my dad years ago and added it to my own shelves when he was purging books last year. Haven't read it yet, but today feels like a timely moment to pick it up and read at least a few chapters.

callielafleur Just to note, the novel Maine also touches on the Cocoanut Grove fire. Such a horrible tragedy. 6y
megt @callielafleur I didn‘t realize that. Thanks for letting me know! 6y
