Thank you for hosting the #SummersEnd Readathon @Bookwormjillk ! I met my goal by finishing The Last Days of the Dinosaurs before the end of the month!
Bonus, I also got to read more from The Fireman and Language City!
Lots of reading but I only finished The Last Days of the Dinosaurs for #naturalitsy.

pickWhen I was a kid I was obsessed with dinosaurs, so I really enjoyed this book. It tells what happened when the asteroid hit Hell Creek to end the dinosaurs known as the K-PG event. Then follows as mammals become the more dominant species 🦕

📚 Thank you for hosting @Bookwormjillk !
pickSo much fun reading about dinosaurs this month with #Naturalitsy
Weirdly my favorite parts were not about the dinosaurs but about the ferns and the appendix where the author explained the thought process behind each chapter. I wish this was available for every book!

“Catastrophe is never convenient”
This is the first line of the preface and I have to say in all my years of reading, this is one of the most beautiful prefaces I have ever read. The last paragraph is so moving I‘ve read it a few times and I read it out to my husband and to my eldest daughter.

“If there is any clear message in the fossil record, any distilled takeaway that the entire history of life on Earth speaks to with a full and clear voice, it‘s that no species is inevitable.”
Might fuck around and watch the new Jurassic World trailer on repeat all afternoon. In related dinosaur news, I ordered the new tagged book last night. It features a blurb from Steve Brusatte!
so-soLike many kids, I went through a dinosaur phase (it was the theme of my 5th birthday!), so when I saw this one I was excited to catch up on new ideas and theories that I had missed in newspaper articles. The unconventional format sets this up almost like speculative fiction with a timeline detailing the days before, during and then dropping in the aftermath. The appendix provides more factual basis but it‘s not the scholarly approach I hoped for…
