Bellosio: An Age of Miracles
by John Shekleton
Hard to Get Through (6/7/2026)
Although the writing seemed ok, I struggled quite a bit with the various names and locations that were foreign to me and difficult to remember them in context of the story. This doesn't happen to me very often, but this book was quite challenging for this reason. I wish I could have gotten through the entire book, but it took too much effort to connect the dots. I may try again at some point, because I thought the plot was interesting. I will reserve any sort of public review outside of BookBrowse as I do not think it is fair to a good author to experience a poor review due to my personal preferences, particularly if I do not finish the book. Again, I may try this again, but even with making notes of names and locations, it seemed to take too much effort.
The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore
by Evan Friss
Great Book (5/11/2026)
Obviously, this was a well-researched book with great information. It is not quite what I was expecting, however. It seemed to be more textbook, but this did not deter me from finishing the book and appreciating the content.
