Welcome to Litsy!

This dude has a British accent and this is oddly soothing. And I learned things. So, yay!

I got this book because the blurb sounded interesting. Parts of it were very interesting, like the chapter on carbon (both graphite and diamond) and the chapter on chocolate. You definitely need at least a high school level understanding of science, and parts got too academic for me. I like to read at night as a way to relax and I noticed my mind wandering away a lot.

Tonight's not been great, despite how good I was feeling earlier today. I'm so stressed and withdrawing from a prescription medication and it's really messing with me. Getting lost in the book of stuff so hopefully I can sleep and deal with the hard stuff tomorrow.

This has been an interesting read

Things are one of my (too) many interests, in particular what things are made of. So this is the book for me. Aaaand a little chunk of chromium ;)

This has been on my TBR list for a while. It delivered yesterday with a special stamp my VSauce Curiosity box! Mmmmm, sciency goodness

Some say that eating chocolate is better than kissing, and scientists have dutifully tested this hypothesis...The researchers found that although kissing set the heart pounding, the effect did not last as long as when the participants ate chocolate. The study also showed that when the chocolate started melting, all regions of the brain received a boost far more intense and longer lasting than the brain activity measured while kissing
