Thrilled and honoured to see a positive review by Tim Cook in the American Historical Review of my book, The Invisible Injured! He called it a "key text for future studies in the field" 👍 Check it out! #cdnhist #PTSD #militaryhistory https://t.co/JtJ2MAnkIf

Haven't posted in awhile. Here's the Lego Farmers Market Van, which is pretty awesome.

What a nice surprise to get this new book by @TheRealDoctorT in the mail yesterday. Congratulations, Sayed, your amazing insights have provided me with deep, meaningful thoughts on numerous occasions.

"I have not yet come upon any instances of homicide over rare books although it is a common enough theme in crime fiction. I have, on the other hand, seen murder in people's eyes. Where books are involved feelings run high."

[Adam Montgomery @AMontgomery82]

"Scarcity and value have never intrigued me as much as the improbable direction things go."

[Adam Montgomery @AMontgomery82]

@CH_coalblackhrt Yes, it's an interesting book so far, lots of great lines. I appreciate an author who is just their full self throughout, no filter.

"I want dirt; I want chaos; I want, above all, mystery. I want to be able to step into a place and have the sense that there I'll find a book, as yet unknown to me, which to some degree will change my life."

A little cup of floral joy.

Historian Rochelle Bush and @AMontgomery82 are restoring Black freedom seekers’ graves in Victoria Lawn Cemetery in St. Catharines. She spoke to @JeyanTVO about the importance of honouring and protecting historic Black burial grounds in Ontario. https://t.co/CXAzA7yZcZ

“To me, there’s something special about being able to stand at a person’s gravestone and gravesite,” historian @AMontgomery82 tells @mr_lois_lane. “It’s not just reading it on a paper. It brings to mind that these were living, breathing people.” https://t.co/fvZ4dTciE3

@nicholsonsonia_ Awesome, keep me posted. 😁

[Adam Montgomery @AMontgomery82]

Many of us talk about writing a novel one day, few of us actually do it.

So congratulations to @nicholsonsonia_ on her first novel!

In addition to being fun as hell to watch while it does its magic, the lid also becomes the bowl when it's finished popping the popcorn.

A wonderful sight to see when you look out the window first thing in the morning. #SomethingBeautiful

A light snow and a backyard visit from some beautiful creatures a few minutes ago.

[The Daily Postcard @postcarddaily]

The Toronto Postcard Club's 41st postcard sale is just a week away. Hope to see some of you there! Here's the current show card *and* the card for the TPC's 1987 show - the first one I could have gone to as a (then) new Torontonian, had I known about it or cared about postcards.

Just finished Enthusiasms and Loyalties by @keithsgrant. Quite an interesting book, and engagingly written. I enjoyed learning about how feelings and emotions were cultivated, and affected by, larger religious and political events in the Enlightenment Atlantic. 👍👍

[Adam Montgomery @AMontgomery82]

@nobyrnelaw @keithsgrant Thanks for this, just finished listening. It was a great complement to the book, especially while the content is still fresh in my head. "Big ideas in small places," I like that way of putting it!
