This was a nice little palate cleanser when I was being indecisive about what to read next.

Good cute story about a girl lost 65 million years ago when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

I have been in a reading slump for a very long time but my friend sent me this and it sounded hilarious. I‘ve been interested in some different spicy books, so this is right up my alley. #igotabductedbyaliensandnowimtrappedinaromcom #kimberlemming #spicy #romance #aliens #dinosaurs #andalion #ohmy! #paperback #library

A nibble, a nip,
I love it when you bite my
lip, savoring me. 💋

My sister is in Barcelona on vacation this week and she took this gorgeous pic yesterday. They have tons of interesting artwork and graffiti according to her.

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue thank you! And I‘ll tell her you said so, she‘s an amateur photographer like me and I think she does a great job taking these types of pictures. ♥️🤗 2mo

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 I'm always impressed by photography - it's a skill I don't possess. It takes a certain eye to do it well. It must run in your family! 😍 2mo

Jurassic Park : [novel] | Michael Crichton

The concept of a Jurassic Theme Park with live dinosaurs has always mesmerized me. Where can I buy a ticket?! 🫣 So I finally read the book where it all started. I was surprised to find a frightfully sinister Hammond and an even more annoying Malcolm and Lex. But overall terrifying factor—off the charts. Must read more Michael Crichton. What a creative genius he was! Is the original movie better than the book? I‘d say they go best hand in hand.

PurpleyPumpkin I read this years ago, AFTER I saw the movie. That‘s most unlike me as I usually read the book first. At the time, I enjoyed the book more. Maybe it‘s time for a reread to see if I still agree with my earlier assessment! We lost a great writer way too early when MC passed away. 2mo
AmyG I loved this book and the movie. 2mo

MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin I‘m usually the opposite. I love the movie so much that I want to read the book. 🤷🏻‍♀️The pairing of screenwriter Crichton and director Spielberg is tough to beat. I do love the film, but the book gave it new insight. Yes, the loss of MC was a heartbreaker. 2mo
MemoirsForMe @AmyG Me too! I‘m looking forward to seeing the new one. 2mo
RosePressedPages Malcolm annoyed me so much lol 2mo
AmyG @MemoirsForMe Me, too! 2mo
MemoirsForMe @RosePressedPages I didn‘t think he could be more annoying in the book than in the movies. But he was! 😁 Hope he‘s not in the new movie. 🙄 2mo
RosePressedPages @MemoirsForMe I kept thinking, now is really not the time to monologue about chaos theory for the 50th time 😭 2mo
iread2much He‘s a great writer (although I will never forgive him for his role in climate science denial) I loved Time Line, it‘s sooo good. 2mo
MemoirsForMe @iread2much Oh my! I had no idea about his views on climate change. I‘ll check that out. 🤔🤨 2mo

Clearly for whatever reason I'm in the mood to read a lot this weekend! Finally finished this up; it's very dense, despite looking quite a slim book. Not a lot that was new to me, as someone who reads popular science about dinosaurs whenever I see something new, and follows dinosaur news idly, but some interesting titbits.

Today I learned that birds and reptiles can isolate infections in a single part of the body instead of the spread that often happens in mammals. I want to go read about how that works now, but I guess my theory would be a different lymphatic system? Though no clue how they would avoid spread through the blood stream... If someone finds out before I do, let me know!

(Note that I studied immunology as part of my degree, am interested in *detail*.)

shanaqui Hone doesn't give a lot of detail but apparently the dinosaurs had this ability too and there's an image of a hadrosaur skeleton with a healed crushed spine! Hang on, I'll add the image to the main post if I can... 3mo
