Welcome to Litsy!

I am so behind on posting everything during febuary. Depression has hit a little harder than I can handle right now.

#currentlyreading Life on out Planet by David Attenborough
I found myself nodding along to everything and I was surprised I knew a lot of what he was talking about since becoming a TA, its surprising how much you actually relearn.
He does make you very angry/ frustrated about how damaging we as humans are.

David Attenborough is an amazing man, who has lived a rich and fulfilling life. His mission, raise awareness of the Earth's incredible diversity, and sound the alarm over how mankind is harming the fragile environment. He's not an alarmist, but puts forth, with scientific evidence, how we got to our present crisis situation and ways we can fix it. He's also an excellent narrator. 4 🌎🌎🌎🌎 1/2
3rd book #AwesomeApril @Andrew65

Sigh, I love this man! Honestly, I went into this thinking it would be his biography, but instead it is a primer on climate change and the effects on the natural world. My heart is broken every day thinking about what humans have done to the planet and how we can get ourselves out of this mess. Attenborough does a great job of explaining what‘s wrong and how we could fix it in simple terms. His voice is perfection; I listened to the audiobook ⬇️

I received this as an ARC from Ebury/NetGalley a couple of months back, & devoured it immediately, but for some reason never reviewed it. I think I wanted a little time to think on it and, in all seriousness, I need to go back and read it again more slowly.

Sir David looks back on his career, giving us witness statements of was happening on the planet at each stage, the population, the rising CO2 levels. It‘s a very effective look at

I bought this yesterday from Libro.fm! And in doing so, I also got to pick a free audiobook. I picked The Power of Ritual by Casper Ter Kulie.
So excited to be supporting my local indie bookstore!

Good morning Litsy. Happy Weekend! Another #CYOreadathon day for me!

#NetGalley & #Ebury have trusted me with an ARC of David Attenborough‘s new book, which came out a couple of days ago. The first part comprises ‘witness statements‘ from key years in his life, a sort of combined autobiography and human history on key themes - all very readable, but I can feel the stress rising as you see carbon figures rising and wilderness percentages falling.
