I'm in for a very long day of family gatherings and remembrances of my aunt who just passed a few weeks ago, so I won't have any time alone this evening to read. I've decided to do a very early morning #jolabokaflodswap instead to start my day.

Thank you so much @merelybookish - you were so generous. I can't wait to curl up now and start reading the book (and short) you selected. I might save the chocolates for tomorrow - 5 am seems too early 🙃

CuriousG Oops, forgot to tag @MaleficentBookDragon in the original post. 2d
CuriousG Note - gnome is the singing Christmas gnome that always sits on my coffee table; unrelated to #jolabokaflodswap . Don't worry @merelybookish , I didn't confuse Christmas presents. Lol 2d
merelybookish My pleasure! Since you were open to a surprise, I took the chance to support a NB indie publisher. I hope you enjoy!! (Did they include a tote too? ) Merry Christmas! 2d

merelybookish And your singing gnome is adorable! 😄 2d
CuriousG @merelybookish yes, the tote was included, I just have it folded so you can't see all of it there. Thank you! 2d

MaleficentBookDragon So sorry for your loss. I hope you get a little calm time today. 2d

Monocausotaxophilia. I've loved this word for years, and was delighted to come across it.

2.75/5
Elizabeth Kolbert writes a series of essays about climate change, one for each letter of the alphabet.
While some essays are interesting and hopeful (about new technologies, leapfrogging) some others miss the mark (the one titled Republicans for example).
Contrary to the title, I didn't find much hope in this book, and I would have liked some essays to go more in-depth.
Wesley Allsbrook's illustrations are stunning.

Historical depiction of the political and environmental history of about the mid-1980s to present. This is the first nonfiction I‘ve read by Rich, although in the middle of his second (Second Nature). I was aware of much of this history, but really got into this. His writing reminds me of the populist style of Rachel Carson, and I feel he could bring some of these important issues more mainstream at a time when our world desperately needs to care.

This book would make a great whole classroom lesson on the environment and how we can be environmentally friendly to keep it safe.

I thought this book was very cute and the storyline was also fun. I love the little pictures of the Earth with a face.
