Welcome to Litsy!

HOW did I miss this icky little scandal?! I‘m not sure but this audiobook made me chuckle several times. The Falwells, (unknown to me before this book) evangelical leaders, head of Liberty University, got kinky with a 20 something “pool boy” as Giancarlo Granda became known in the press. This is his story from his own words (with the help of a coauthor of course). It‘s a short audio that filled me in on some past drama. There‘s a doc on Hulu.

I really ought to stop looking on #netgalley…! Just had the following 3 approved today and already I‘m struggling to stay ahead of pub dates. 😬

Actually, Chrysalis is a total #blameitonmegabooks! I may try to read next week, Meg.

Roman Stories jumped out at me from the #netgalley front page, due to the author, and luckily it‘s not out until October so I have plenty of time.

And I can‘t even remember where I heard about My Husband! 🤣

I loved this update to what I learned 20 years ago about early hominids as an Evolutionary Anthropology minor, but you don‘t need specialized knowledge to enjoy this book. First, Jeremy looks at bipedalism throughout the animal kingdom, from dinosaurs to mammals. Then, he looks at the specific evidence of when humans became bipedal. Was the last common ancestor with chimps a biped? ⬇️ Finally, he looks at the costs of bipedalism to our bodies.
