so-soMy eclipse read this past April. This one is like following a Wikipedia spiral but led by someone else's whims than your own so sometimes I was interested and invested, others not so much.

In the lowcountry (SC), we got to see 70% of this total solar eclipse. What an awe inspiring moment to be a part of. Star dust…looking at star dust! 🌞🌚

Written by a man who has dedicated a large portion of his life to chasing the next eclipse, the author takes you on a journey through the history of solar eclipses and the role they play in society. I loved the comments on the connections between these events and religion as well as the timeline of how science and society started observing and tracking these events

I live just down the street from downtown Lansing, Mi so I decided to go for a walk down to the capital building to clear my head. Felt really off all day but then got some great news at work that made up for it a bit. Started this nonfiction book today for one of my prompts for #magicalreadathon ! How‘s everyone doing with their OWLs?

Went to the half priced books clearance sale. With my book ban, I was able to read enough to buy 2 books. Ended up going over by 3 but I feel like I controlled myself 😂

pickSuper delayed post! This was my read during the road trip with my dad to see the eclipse. A little bit eclipse story telling, a little bit science, and a perfect read for the occasion. I picked up another eclipse book pubbed this year, but my hype may have died down now...hopefully it won't linger on my TBR for seven years. *Yes those are welding goggles and yes they are safe for solar viewing.
bailedI couldnt finish reading this? The author has a really strong voice but I feel rather as if he spent the first half of the book mocking the people who believe that an eclipse holds religious power. He also seemed to laugh at ancient civilizations who feared eclipse's. Maybe Im just being overly sensitive but as a woman of color who was named Eyklipse Rain this book lacks the most important thing about the solar system WONDER
Anything can turn into a pinhole camera: Tree leaves above you - on the ground and on the lawn chair; your hand, and a pin pushed through some paper in your backpack. And they all get like tiny crescents! We were so excited!

I know you can't see this, but this is the picture of the total solar eclipse. It was amazing. The pictures do not do justice. It is not black, it is all blue! And all around you looks like the sun is setting. I mean, in every direction! It was all worth the 4 hr drive to the totality zone.

Well...here in my little corner, where 100% totality was to occur at about 2:45 pm, it felt like the world might be ending. There was one heck of a thunderstorm!
