Welcome to Litsy!

Leaving through this book about the elements and vacuuming up random facts of pub quiz trivia.

Pennies in Bermuda have pigs on one side. I'm certainly going to need that information one day, I'm sure.

This is a book with pictures representing each element. It is simply called 'The Elements.' #simplicityday #julyjam @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

This book is great. It‘s not the kind of book I would normally read, but it was extremely interesting earning about al of the elements.

It's that time of year. With Jolabokaflod and Christmas right around the corner, I thought it'd be fun to share some bookish gift ideas. Feel free to share book recommendations, reading accessories, Etsy finds, etc, and tag #giftguide2020
I have three books for those with a curious mind. Will My Cat deals with honestly with questions about death and dying without being morbid. What If? is very scientific, but not too technical, and very funny. -->

Looking on my shelves for a book I don't remember buying, and I spot this... Which I just requested from the library yesterday after seeing @Gezemice 's post. 😂 #dontrememberbuyingthis #aprilbookshowers

One of the beautiful spreads about each element in this book. Science nerds and non-science people will be both delighted by this book. The pictures are amazing, most taken by Theo Gray himself.

I live in Central Illinois and am lucky to know the author of this gorgeous book. Theo Gray lives a few blocks from me and his daughter went to school with mine. His hobby is the periodic table of elements. He actually has a table that contains a sample of each element - well, the ones that are containable and not dangerous, at least.
This book is beautiful and educational, perfect for the coffee table.

Each element of the periodic table has a two-page spread, with excellent photos (mostly of items that the author has collected) & an entertaining & informative blurb describing the history of the element & its uses. A lot of it likely went over Charlie's head, but he enjoyed it nonetheless and exposure to the Coolness of Science is essential, I think. *I* certainly enjoyed it; Gray is a hoot and we laughed out loud in spots at his funny quips.
