Carlo Rovelli is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. He has a knack for explaining complex quantum physics with ease, but he‘s also poetic and philosophical about life. His prose is beautiful and a joy to read! 5-star book! ⭐️

I recommend this book to anybody interested in Astro-biology

My treat to myself when I took my mother in law and kids to the mall today… I was able to sneak away and peruse B&N 😊

There are so many musical acts that I'm aware of, have listened to a few songs, but haven't really given much thought or attention. Until a few days ago, Goldfrapp was one of those acts for me, but I somehow found myself listening to their album Supernature and wearing out the like button on Spotify. It's got so many attention-grabbing, danceable tracks. Really glad they came up on my streaming roulette!

British mariners had latitude figured pretty early on, but longitude flummoxed them to the point of shipwrecks and lost lives occurring because they just didn‘t know where they were. This book talks about the efforts to fix longitude and the machinations of the organization created when someone finally did so. If you‘re looking for an excellent, short narrative nonfiction book, look no further. #ReadYourEbooks

This wasn‘t my favorite of Mary Roach‘s investigations into bizarre topics…but I‘m always pleased to be gifted a view into her brain. She‘s so funny & smart, & I‘d be delighted to invite her to share inappropriately grotesque facts around my dinner table.

Now, excuse me. A beloved English professor once taught me the definition of tappen: “the non-existent rectal plug of a hibernating bear,” & Roach wrote that they do exist. I must fact-check.
