This was an impulse buy on my last trip to my new favorite bookstore. I haven‘t started it yet, but the cover caught my attention and the story sounds intriguing. Have any of you read it? Thoughts?

Built: The Hidden Stories Behind our Structures | Roma Agrawal

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.

willaful I've never actually read Lady Susan, IIRC.

I'm annoyed at myself because I had a queer romance for the rescue prompt, with a paramedic, but the second LI is a cop. D'oh. 5mo

Faranae @willaful Oh the “no cops“ rule is just that cops don't count as rescue personnel for the prompt, not that they can't appear at all.

And most people skip Lady Susan. It's one of her juvenilia that she never reworked and wasn't published until decades after she died. It's delightful but it's not something you can mine for social commentary and older Austen was a tad more conservative in her morals than this book. 5mo

willaful Yeah, I never got much into her juvenalia.

Thanks for the allow! One less prompt to worry about. But you will absolutely *hate* the book. 5mo

Faranae @willaful 😂 glad to know I will have good fodder for the blog next year then! 5mo

“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.

The Story of Buildings | Patrick Dillon

This book would be great for middle school and up. It talks about the several dynamics of building and the history of all of the. The illustrations in the book use blue print and sketches.

This book is about the evolution of buildings and how they were built. IT gives many descriptions on the type of building ranging from the start of the US to today.

Gaud� | Maria Antonietta Crippa

This was interesting. It's basically an art book about Barcelona that the library had available in French. I'm not extra at all. Tagged book is not correct.
