Speaking about Darwin's Finches (on my last post), if anyone is interested in the theory of evolution and Darwin's work, you might enjoy the tagged book.
Now, it's been almost two decades since I've read this (and it was a translation) so I was very young then and I'm hoping the writing isn't actually as dry as I remember 😅
Still, it's an interesting book and I'd love to read it again soon.

Listened to this today. Diana and Fin are set to vacay in the Galápagos Islands, but when C-19 hits, Fin (a doctor) can‘t leave but he wants Diana to go, which she does. Of course quarantine is enforced there so her stay turns into months, while Fin works with C patients dawn to dusk, and so many die…Well written

This book takes us back to 2020 when Covid hit the world. It started off kind of slow but I got into the story and then everything I thought was happening flipped. This was a pretty decent book. I enjoyed it.

Full disclosure, this is a pandemic book set in New York City, which was one of the most COVID-19-wracked cities in the USA. Jodie P did her research, as per usual. It wasn‘t your typical Jodi P book, tho, in that it‘s told from a single POV. I read it in two days. It fully immersed me. It‘s a book about finding hope in a dark time and finding yourself along the way.

I finished this earlier in the week but forgot to post my review. I put this on my TBR due to the Galapagos setting because it‘s a place I‘ve wanted to go & that did not disappoint. It is a rom-com & thus predictable, but it‘s fun. It mentions being similar to The Hating Game which I did end up liking once I got over the immaturity of the MCs & their enemies at work shenanigans. In this one both MCs are more mature & likable & ⬇️

DebinHawaii …don‘t play such silly games in their dislike. I also like the cruise/ecotourism/conservation elements. So a pick overall. 🐢🏝️💚 9mo

This had a twist that I wasn‘t expecting. Nice read.
