My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another gem. In fact, I might have liked this one even more than the previous one. Monk and Robot continue their adventures as they go back into town, meeting different people. I love these books.

Doing too much catastrophizing. Need to breathe and be in the present moment.

Review: Professor Everywhere

Professor Everywhere
Professor Everywhere by Nicholas Binge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlike anything I’ve read. Hard to even put into words what this book is about, it’s about so many different things. If you like unusual books that mix origin of words with science and a fast paced mystery, you will enjoy this insane story. I loved it.
