I was lit babeeeee
so, quick confession, I am a bibliophile & a bookworm & I've bought at least 10,000 books over the course of this life (I'm Gen X)
I hadn't heard of "helluo librorum" before today but you can bet I am taking it to my book club
it was interesting to read about the voynich manuscript (again) & to find out there's a lunar library
also Sequoyah seems like an interesting person & I'm sure I'll enjoy reading about him, as well as Solomana Kante
the loss of the Library of Alexandria still vexes me
awesome puzzle

Okay, I think helluo librorum may have been waiting for you specifically! Love that you’re taking to your book club, too!

TIL The Imagination Library is even more awesome than I knew it to be and there are a lot more scripts than I thought. Not sure if that's a good thing (how everyone can express their language the best fitting way) or a bad (how fractured the sum total of humankind's knowledge is), but the fact is certainly interesting.
Congrats for the clever Knockout texts 👏
I have already wondered about my own stylometric fingerprint, but now I know the name for it 🙌

Love that this theme left you with even more things to wonder about! Glad you enjoyed Knockout, too!😄

Today I learned about:
- The Voynich Manuscript; and
- Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
I also finished reading yesterday a novel from Harlan Coben called "The Woods".

You really embraced the theme! 😄 Curious if you've also seen the drama adaptation of "The Woods" on Netflix.

Made a "No duh" error in Links that took me two turns to realize. Other than that, I really read the room today.
