The graphic artist Rachel Ignotofsky has had a remarkable success these last years.
I stumbled on this book of hers, “What’s Inside a Flower”, but I have already ordered some others and eagerly await her book on the birth of computers which gets released this month.
These volumes are probably children’s books but the quality of her work makes that irrelevant.

Twenty Books Challenge
Hypothetically, you are only able to keep 20 of your books. Only one book per author/series. So what books are you keeping?
I was tagged by @the-forest-library - thank you!
This was way harder than I imagined (and I still messed up because I have 2 books by the same author oops). I was surprised by how many of the books I chose to keep are non-fiction. I also may have messed up with the rules with some of my collection books but oh well.
From the bottom up:
The Lost Words by Robert MacFarlane & Jackie Morris - just a beautiful book that reminds us how important words are.
The Uncle Wiggly Book by Howard R. Garis. One of the first books I read as a child, and this is the copy I've had since childhood. It's also the book that started my book collecting hobby.
The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde - such a sweet, fun story and this one has great illustrations. (this is the book I'd switch out for something else since I messed up with the rules)
Hold Still by various. This was a project started by The Duchess of Cambridge during The COVID Pandemic. She and the National Portrait Gallery collected thousands of photos and went through and chose the top 100 to put into book form. It's a story of life during a modern pandemic. It's incredibly moving.
Collective Wisdom: Lessons, Inspiration, and Advice From Women Over 50 by Grace Bonney. A Christmas gift from one of my kids in 2021. It's a beautiful collection from women, most of whom are average, every day women, very few celebrities or well knowns are in this book. And the diversity is great too (Native, WOC, Disabled, Trans etc.).
The Complete Language of Flowers by S. Theresa Dietz the classic book of flowers and their meanings with beautiful drawings.
Women in Science by Rachel Ignotofsky. 50 Inspiring and notable women in Science. Fun, cartoonish illustrations as well.
American Prince by Tony Curtis. Because he's so pretty, and his whole face lit up when I told him what I thought of his book when he signed it for me.
The Snow Queen and Other Winter Tales by various. Collection of tales from various Fairy Tale books and authors. I have a few of these but this one I think is my favorite.
The Works of H.G. Wells by H.G. Wells. A collection of stories by Wells. The Time Machine was the first Science Fiction book I'd read. I read it as a teen and I loved it.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (and this would be the one Wilde book I'd keep since I'm only allowed to have one book by the same author). This is my all time favorite book.
The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen. I have loved and own every book Allen has written, but I think this is my favorite.
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I have a few copies of this book, it's a favorite. I chose this version because it's just very pretty.
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Because Mother Nature DGAF. Also as I was being admitted to the hospital for my hysterectomy the admitting nurse who was doing all my vitals, giving me my IV etc. was reading this book and we discussed it. We both agreed that this book confirmed for us that we never want to climb Mount Everest.
Timeless by Gail Carriger. The final book in the Soulless series. I loved this whole series. I chose the last book, however, because it's one of the few series that I absolutely loved everything about how it ended.
The Radium Girls by Kate Moore. The incredibly infuriating story of the women who risked their lives in watch factories and how little help they got. This book made me a better feminist and grew my understanding of the importance of women's rights and how important our history is.
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I think this was the first Gaiman book I read and it's my favorite.
Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. A series I read one summer in my youth. I chose this one because of its iconic cover, and because it's the first in the series.
The Aviary by Kathleen O'Dell. One of my kids read this when they were younger and suggested it to me. It's one of my all time favorite middle grade reads. It's magical.
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. My 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Bauer (my favorite teacher ever) read this out loud to us in class. I fell in love with the story. I never read it again until I was a married adult with children. It's the first book I ever re-read as an adult (Uncle Wiggly is the first book I ever re-read). And I re-read TLtWatW at least every couple of years.
I tag anyone who wants to do this!!

Rating: 1-5 (5 is an excellent or a Starred review) 4

What I Read in 2023
I read 54 books in 2023, the lowest amount in a long while. Mostly nonfiction (20) followed by romance (15). And while 2023 isn't over yet, I doubt I'll finish another complete book before the end of the year (no energy, little time).
Goals for 2024
Reviving a 2023 goal I did not accomplish: to improve my (very rudimentary) Spanish language skills by reading picture books en español.
Read more poetry. @allthefoolmine is a connoisseur of the genre. Poetry's such good stuff for packing maximal emotional devastation into minimal verbiage.
Read books about areas of the world in conflict or by authors from those areas - specifically Palestine, Ukraine, and Sudan.
Read more books in translation. Specifically, I intend read more by South American authors, particularly writers from Mexico and Columbia.
Highlights of 2023
The concluding novel in Freya Marske's Last Binding trilogy. Jack and Alan's book delighted, both from the romance perspective (snarky! steamy!) and from the plot perspective (an elegant conclusion, ripe with potential - hint, hint - for fanfic writers to develop the universe further).
Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers - as someone who has written letters for nearly three quarters of their life, I love a good epistolary novel or nonfiction anthology. This YA nonfiction book collects and contextualizes Vincent Van Gogh's letters to his beloved younger brother, Theo, and includes Theo's letters to Vincent. Added bonus: I finished it a month or so before visiting The Netherlands for the first time.
Traveling with the Dead has a marvelous, creepy vampire character in Don Ysidro. I do love when writers actually reckon with the ways immortality warps a character's priorities and perspective on the world. I definitely want to read more novels by Barbara Hambly in 2024.
I'm looking forward to reading KJ Charles's A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel - I thought it wasn't out until spring, but it was released this September. Huzzah!
Translation State, the latest in Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch novels, was a marvel. Way to make aliens properly alien. If I say too much more I'll spoil the thrill of it but - if you liked Provenance and the Ancillary trilogy, run - do not walk - to your local bookshop.

The new book of graphic artist Rachel Ignotofsky is now released.
“The History of the Computer” (2022) is a truly great book with fine illustrations, thoroughly researched and well written.
Anybody who’s (computer) literate - and who isn’t these days - can benefit from reading it.
Looking for a birthday gift? This is my recommendation!
