Review of "Summary of Ruth Goodman's the Domestic Revolution" on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I've experienced homes heated by wood and homes heated by coal, and yet Ruth Goodman's book still held surprises for me. I didn't realize how very late some technologies (such as cast iron) came into existence, therefore how very difficult the first century or so of domestic coal adoption would have been. If you enjoy the author's other work, you will enjoy this. If you enjoy learning and thinking about the changes that common household living has changed, you will enjoy this. If you enjoy reading about women's history, then you will enjoy this.

Cute young adult/juvenile book. I was curious after seeing the Netflix movie, and the book and movie are just different enough to keep it interesting. Would recommend this to young bookworms.

Review of 'Dune (Dune Chronicles (Berkley Paperback))' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Still superb. It is completely coincidence that I began re-reading this book on September 11. The re-read was triggered by the trailer for the upcoming new movie dropping. However, now, having finished, I cannot help but ponder the theme of "religious fanatics from the desert striking out against the presumably unbeatable empire". Some 5 and a half decades after it was written, this book is still both a feat of complex world-building and a relevant commentary on human nature. Seems poignant is a particular way, with the anniversary of September 11 just passing.
