Theodosia Burr by Karen Cherro Quinones
As a kid, all I knew about Aaron burr was that he killed Alexander Hamilton. Full stop. The popularity of the musical opened our eyes to the complexity of their story. And to Theodosia Burr. To her atypical childhood, the education she received and her access to power. Say what you will about Aaron Burr but he had pretty liberal views about individual rights and education, views that he passed along to his children. That makes Theodosia a fascinating figure outside of her father and his notoriety. She carefully balanced her interests and abilities with the expectations of society, pushing boundaries just so far as to express herself without becoming a scandal. A great read with a narrative tone.

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
When I saw the trailer for the movie version, I was intrigued. It seems to be harder sci-fi than I typically gravitate towards but the premise is unique. I'm hopeful that the world building will outweigh my concerns.

I'm a little bit of a craft supply hoarder. I have a hard time throwing away anything that looks useful. Occasionally, that habit pays off. I had saved this little box from a set of Bluetooth earbuds.
While my original plan was to store something in it, it occurred to me that with a couple of quick cuts I could turn it into a shelf.
With a little paint and a few books made out of cardboard scraps, the look is complete.
