Never Home Alone: From Microbes to Millipedes, Camel Crickets, and Honeybees, the Natural History of Where We Live | 
Happy Saturday ? Thank you for all the birthday wishes last week! I turned 29 and celebrated with a trip to the bookstore and one too many espresso martinis. ?Our house is cleared out from all the festivities and Thanksgiving guests, and I can say we successfully hosted for the first time! Now I'm ready to cozy up with an interesting new book while all the dishes still "soak". ?
While reading this book, I find myself doing household tasks and reciting the names of the bugs that maybe lurking within them. Scooping the litter? Toxoplasma gondii. Washing dishes? Biofilm, which is science talk for bacterial gunk.
I wonder if earworms count...
Discovered an Audible credit I forgot I had, so once I finished the book on physics I was listening to, I picked up this to continue learning about the small things in the world. And specifically, the small things of our smaller worlds.
I am very much enjoying this book! So many things live with us in our homes.
pickNow I know what “desquamous” means! ....And I can never, never forget it. No matter how hard I try.
Yikes, yet another I want!
