🌉 The Bridge: How the Roeblings Connected Brooklyn to New York by Peter J. Tomasi, Teo Duvall (Illustrator)
So since Ale, Emma, and I are going to New York in October 2026 I wanted to learn all I can about New York history. I wanted to read a graphic novel about New York history and found this book. I first found this book as an eComic, but I’d really rather have a physical book instead. I saw that the Phoenix library has a physical copy in their catalog, so I borrowed it from them and picked it up at the Palo Verde outdoor holds locker. I love those things! I wish that every library had them. I think that I will enjoy this story!
* I thought that it was so sweet that Washington Roebling’s father came to help him with his stomach pains. I think that their Irish if Washington calls his father Da, but after searching online I found out that they are of German descent.
* I also thought that it was crazy how the bridge workers found the skeletons of British soldiers from the last century. Wow! Page 105.
* I got teary eyed and emotional when Em, or Mrs. Roebling first crossed the bridge. I loved what Mr. Roebling said in the bottom panels. Page 186-187.
I thought that this was so cool!!!!
John is so cute! <3
Beautiful!

National Library Week Celebration! (Tuesday, April 21, 2026)
I wanted to celebrate the national library week, so I decided to use all of my library cards. Starting from the left to the right I started by going to the Palo Verde Phoenix library outdoor holds locker to get two comics. Then I went to the Main Glendale Library on Brown Street to get a large print of "Mexican Gothic". Then I went to the Fairway Sun City library to get the "Caught Stealing" DVD and a book I liked the length of when I was browsing the shelves. I also wanted to read this eComic from my eCard from the Peoria library.

Review: Beach Read
Beach Read by Emily HenryMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I finished listening this eAudiobook on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at 3:12 p.m. My last reading session was 22 minutes. I really don't remember where I got this from, but I had it in my Libro.fm app. It reminds me of Haley Pham's book. It makes sense because Emily Henry is her favorite author. It was alright. I think I need a break from romance books. The happy ending always with marriage makes me gag.

⛱ Beach Read by Emily Henry, Julia Whelan (Narrator)
I only had one favorite quote.
“‘Then maybe we should enjoy our happy-for-now,’ Gus said.
‘Happy for now.’ I tasted the words, rolled them over the back of my tongue like wine. The only promise you ever had in life was the one moment you were living. And I was.
Happy for now.
I could live with that. I could learn to live with that” (the end of chapter 27 The Rain).
