#WhereAreYouMonday - I cannot read just one book.
I started my day with the ARC of "Love at a Funeral and Other Awkward Conversations" - New Jersey, in spitting distance to NYC.
Moved on to "Earls' Trip", takes place in Cumbria mostly.
Fugitive Telemetry ('Murderbot 6') in the car - space station (not pictured).
Now "The Ghost Cat" , set in Edinburgh.
Later "Lover Revealed" is set in Caldwell, fictional city in NY State, north of NYC.
so-soIt was interesting learning about the strata maps that helped launch a widespread understanding and acceptance of geology. Overall, this isn't a bad read. I was put off, however, by the author's unnecessary proliferation of sexist, ableist, and anti-asexual notions. #Nonfiction #Science
“Advanced Reader Copy” — whoops. Finally unboxed that stack of books from our move more than a year ago. Better late than never, I suppose.

Got these beauties from family over the holidays. Can‘t wait to jump into the tagged book. I have a small globe collection and am interested to read how they are made.
pickThis is such a beautiful book, the cover really doesn't do justice to some of the images inside. It delves into the craft of globe-making from the perspective of one company, and the journey that they went on to build these beautiful spheres.
