Adorable, sweet bubblegum RomCom! Loved all the characters. Having lived in very rural Washington as well as Seattle - could very much relate to the story settings. (Except for the last scene about umbrellas. Washingtonians don't use umbrellas - too much opening and closing them with all the finicky weather ;) Raincoats with hoods! lol )

Interesting read - but overwhelmingly focused on CAD design. Based on the title, I was hoping for broader coverage overall on how open hardware, makerspaces and home 3d printing are changing the world of Product Design.

Loved this! An American woman's travel essays from the Victorian era about visiting Norway, Iceland, Canada ... and living in the Faeroe Islands for long stints of time. She seemed genuinely interested in getting to know the places through “regular” people.

An example: The magistrate of the Faeroes offered her a place in his house, but decided to stay with a farmer's family. She said did not imagine she had the proper clothes for the magistrate's entertainment schedule and believed she would be too busy with this entertaining to be able focus on her own interests. Would enjoyed meeting this woman.

Later Elizabeth got stuck in the Faeroes due to the start of WWI - which is an interesting perspective on the war from this isolated place.

Really wanted to like this, but it felt like the plot from Ishiguro's “Never Let Me Go” combined with the plot Logan's Run.

Not as quite as good as Thank You For Smoking or Boomsday.
