Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (June 2025)
 

—————————— :bunchflowers: —————————

I am reading a book by Taylor Jenkins Reid: Atmosphere.


Set against the backdrop of the 1980s NASA space program is a story about the extraordinary lengths of lesbian love… It captures your mind from the very beginning and I’m going to finish reading it tomorrow.

I’m currently reading American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center by William Langewiesche.
It’s difficult to hear some of these things even now, but the entire book is about perseverance and the tenacity of all the people involved with recovery after the terrorist attack.
The author, from what I understand, was a journalist at that time and was invited along to view the ruins with the engineers who were tasked with asserting the stability of the remaining structure in order to safely demolish or salvage what was left.
Engineering in general has become a huge interest of mine of late. Witnessing the post Helene reconstruction has given it a whole new dimension in my mind.

Baseball Woo-Woo ❤️

I’ve been reading from a couple of books but lately instead of books, I’ve been reading the NYT’s, The Athletic, and Sports Illustrated. I don’t really know why, but lately when I read I critique the things I read and try to not be too judgmental about style of prose or punctuation or metaphors embedded into narratives. Sometimes I find that skill enjoyable but I’m trading my reading habits in exchange for peace of mind, lol. :eyebat:


Speaking of Sports Illustrated baseball woo woo: my catcher from the Orioles, whose granddad was the football coach at Linfield (out in MAC), is skooching over the my Diamondbacks in Arizona. Corbin Burns (former Orioles pitcher now pitching for the DB’s) is Adley’s “wing man”. Can’t wait until next year for my DB’s. 😎🎊🥎🥂🤞🤙

Oliver was just on the Jimmy Kimmel show: he’s an illustrator and children’s book author. I’ve been reading from this interactive book to my granddaughter. :stillheart:
