San Gimignano’s claim to fame is its tall towers, apparently just built to show off how much money rich people in the town had. It’s a very picturesque little town. This photo was taken from the top of the tallest tower.
Why did you read this book? I think it won some awards. Another one on my “to read” list for a long time.
Has Jeremy read it? No.
42-word review: Grace survives a shipwreck, only to be put on trial for murder. Finally an audiobook I enjoyed! Despite knowing that she survives, the tense situation and strong personalities in the lifeboat provide plenty of suspense, and Grace is an intriguingly unreliable narrator.
Overall rating: 4 pieces of hard tack (out of 5)
Why did you read this book? It was on my “to read” Goodreads shelf for some reason, so I must have heard something good about it.
Has Jeremy read it? No.
42-word review: Octavian, raised as a prince, learns he’s a slave and his education an experiment just as the American Revolution is starting. A tragic story of slavery and betrayal that somehow ends up being incredibly tedious, largely thanks to the period writing style.
Overall rating: 3 botany lessons (out of 5)
Mountain goats on Mt Evans, Colorado.
These otherworldly tree structures are at the Gardens by the Bay. Singapore had a number of cool attractions, but these were definitely a highlight.
I should’ve restarted the Daily Photos with this one. Our trip started with a delightful overnight stopover in Singapore, after all.
