The world is a better place because Stan Lee was in it.

What If by Randall Munroe. I listened to the audiobook version of this today and it was fascinating. I love science and this delivered. My kids are totally in a “what if” phase right now so the premise seemed relatable. All I can say is a lot of these what ifs would be catastrophic if they really happened, holy cow. I enjoyed Wil Wheaton as the narrator and I feel like I just hung out with a smart friend for 6 hours. 5/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict. This book tells the story of the wife of the famed scientist, Albert Einstein. It’s historical fiction, the epilogue from the author attempts to clarify what is fact and what is fiction, but the general feeling I got was it was speculative for the most part. Yes, Einstein’s first wife was a physicist and she could have had a role in developing many of his most famous theories and papers, which makes for an interesting story idea. Instead the first half or more of the book is very slow leading up to their marriage, and the second half just paints the famed Albert Einstein as a flaky, misogynistic jerk who essentially goes from being scientific equals with his wife to controlling her and stripping her of any intellectual standing or partnership, she exists only to tend to his house and kids. Maybe this is truly the relationship they had, but it seemed such a stark and sudden shift in their relationship, perhaps it was embellishes to create tension for the book. I don’t really know how I feel about the book as a whole, I found it slow and a bit long, and since little is known about what truly transpired in their marriage and scientific partnership, it’s up to the author to fill in the blanks with a fictional tale. I like the idea of this book but I don’t think historical fiction is really my cup of tea, I prefer books to be either entirely fiction or entirely non-fiction, not some of both. (Full disclosure, I’ve never read a biography of either Einstein and my knowledge is based on what you learn in high school, that he’s a famous physicist and former patent clerk whose contributions to science are still essential today. I know nothing of his personal life or marriage so I can’t compare this book to any other factual accounts of his life.) 3/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

Ok, I admit, I signed up for another swap. This one is the #uglysweaterblock which I’ve wanted to make for a while but now I’ll have a reason and a deadline! Here’s a mosaic of fabrics I like, I tend toward nerdy and juvenile. I love Star Wars and Harry Potter, the Grinch, Christmas vacation and a Christmas story, cutsie, novelty prints and bright colors. #uglysweaterblockswap2018 #justjoshinmosaic #swapteamkitchy

I never got a photo of this when it was back from quilting. I kept meaning to get a photo but the weather has been lousy and I’ve been busy. But I took it to my book club at the library to share and they snapped a photo so I borrowed this from the website. I am so thrilled with this quilt and how it finished up, the quilting is perfect and I am in love with all the details. I have a feeling this won’t be my last #projectofdoom quilt! Thank you to everyone at @fandominstitches for the incredible patterns. 📸: @crystallakepubliclibrary quilting: @quiltingbydavid #justjoshinquilts #quiltsofinstagram #jjquilts2018 #projectofdoom #harrypotterquilt #jjpod18 #fandominstitches #fiscommunity #30blocksin30days #justjoshinquilts #quiltsofinstagram #jjquilts2018

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told by Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman. When I saw this was coming out I immediately added it to my library hold list. I love both Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally and thought this would be a funny or at least fun book. It’s just not. I do think it would be much better as an audiobook or a podcast or something, but it’s pretty meh as a book. The majority of it reads like a transcript of conversations between the two of them on assorted topics but it’s somehow dull, jumps around and repeats itself all at the same time. There are a couple chapters that aren’t conversational transcription that don’t fare much better in being entertaining or interesting. And really nothing is really funny. The only redeeming parts are the small bits about their childhoods and families and early careers but the second half is mostly disappointing. It’s too bad because I was excited about this book and had higher expectations. 3/5 stars. ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram
