I have ways loved the idea of seeing a hatterpillar in real life. A few years ago we came across one..l10 mm long..in Belair national park. I‘m so glad we only took photos and always respect wildlife …cause ouch! And I only found that out reading this! 😳
Spending time reading at the drs while we wait to be called in. My son has foot surgery last week. We brought special bags to go over his foot to shower and of course when he tried this morning it didn‘t work…so we are waiting for bandage changes. At least it‘s quiet here!
pickAnother “longevity” studies book. I‘ve read several of these types of books that explores the ways to prolong the human lifespan but this one is interesting because it focuses on animals and the natural world. How can scientists apply what they learn about how animals live longer to medicines and behaviors to promote longevity in humans? I wasn‘t blown away but I did enjoy this perspective and I‘m glad there‘s dedicated research to this endeavor.
pickBite wanders through the animal kingdom looking at teeth and how they serve various species. It‘s really interesting with some fun nerdy humor here and there. The one negative for me is this is my second read from Schutt and for me he tends to be a bit dry in places.
I have a masters in biology and my research was focused on #bees. I love insects #nonfiction #science
pickThe bestselling author of Other Minds shows how we and our ancestors have reinvented our planet.

Thank you Macmillan Audio & Netgalley for the audio ARC! The audiobook was narrated by the author. I enjoyed reading this book. It has nature writing in it but at the same time, it‘s also philosophical. I found it very interesting.

I‘m enjoying this Netgalley ARC being published on September 3. It‘s interesting. It reminds me of David Attenborough‘s nature documentaries that I watch but that‘s not bad because I enjoy those documentaries. I feel like I‘m listening to one of those documentaries instead of watching it but at the same time, this book is philosophical. It‘s giving me a lot to think about.
I started this book last night. I requested this one and the publisher accepted my request. I like it. Netgalley has really great choices on their Read Now and Listen Now sections on their website this month. I‘ve enjoyed a lot of the books that I‘ve read from there this month. I don‘t always want to read the books that are available on there but I‘ve been looking on Netgalley every day this month and I keep seeing books that I want to read.
Yay! I was approved for the audiobooks of all of these. I already have The Money Trap and Supremacy as ebooks so I‘m excited I get to listen to them on audio. I wish I could read them all right away but they would have to be reviewed as soon as I finish them but I don‘t read and review books that fast. Reading and reviewing books takes time. Sometimes, it takes me all afternoon or all night just to write reviews and then get them posted online.
