Some pop culture centered around New Year's. Loved this '72 version. I thought Gene Hackman was hot. 🤣

Champagne hits the deck;
New Year's cheers drown as lights die–
Time to climb the tree.

We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time | Jose Andres

My exposure to helping people is relatively small and very much on a person to person scale. I‘ve never considered all the politicking that needs to be done on a person to large group scale. This is absolutely fascinating and equally heartrending. (Kitten investigation for cute tax)

Some thoughts:

Honourable mention to #camplitsy Tilt for best bookclub read.

Beyond the Wall has a really eclectic queer kinda punk biker gang crew I‘d love to spend time with 😂 Read for #lgbtqia2025

Can‘t wait for the next #Murderbot.

Loved the SA Crosby and excited to read more. Ditto for TJ Klune which was a #QueerBC pick (I think).

Heartstopper is so different to my usual reads but it‘s sooo good. Highly recommended.

Kitta @PuddleJumper I thought it was even better than

The Space Between Worlds: A Novel

Kitta @PuddleJumper have you read The Space? Beyond the Wall is definitely a sequel and relies on information in the first one. The Space was good but the second was great. At least for me. 😆 I can imagine some people wouldn‘t enjoy it. 2w

PuddleJumper @Kitta I've got the series on my list. I couldn't remember which one was first 😅 2w

Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster | Adam Higginbotham

pick

A fairly thorough account of the events leading up to, around, and after of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. I think it would be easier to follow if reading a physical copy just because there are so many people involved and it was difficult to follow each thread because so much happened. ⬇️

IriDas I appreciated that almost the entire focus was on the Soviet side of things, only mentioning the West when it was directly related. I dislike when an author tries to make stories from other countries relevant to people in the US by including things that are mostly unrelated or have no direct impact on the narrative. (edited) 2w

Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster | Adam Higginbotham

Uplifting Christmas tale about the vast generosity of humanity and… No, just kidding. The Soviet Politburo sounds like MAGA. Loyalty is rewarded, knowledge is silenced and ignored. Lies spread en masse, and bullying to ensure the compliance of the people. Inevitably, all is lost. The future of all authoritarianism.

AmyG People don‘t realize that this world is already at war. We are fighting authoritarianism, fascism, nazis. 3w

IriDas @AmyG yes, we were educated into complacency. Our teachers gave us a pablum designed to make us think that somehow the West was just interested in spreading Democracy and liberating people. The truth is a hard pill to swallow but necessary to move forward. 3w

Eruption: The Untold Story of Mount St. Helens | Steve Olson

pick

This was engrossing when Olson focused on Mount St. Helens to include the events leading up to its eruption, the actual eruption, and the damage and aftermath. I learned details I had never known. The book shows how the scientific community and government did poorly in preparing for a worst case scenario and informing and protecting the public.

JoeMo Olson went down several rabbit holes to include rather lengthy histories of the timber industry, the Weyerhaeuser company and family who had logging rights for the mountain, and Gifford Pinchot and early conservationism. These subjects distracted from the story about the mountain and its eruption and could have been summarized better or even left out. (edited) 1mo

JoeMo #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 1mo

SamAnne He must of told the story of President Carter flying to look at the devastation and thinking he had reached the blast zone, when he was actually flying over Weyerhaeuser‘s blast zone of clearcut logging. I still laugh/cry at that. Weyco,did a number on my home watershed in Oregon. Made me a forest conservationist. 1mo

I forgot to actually post a review in my haste to reach out to @Reggie because I was busting to talk about it with someone! This book touched me in so many ways. I loved the way Annie and an IKEA worker were there for each other navigating the catastrophe even though they had clashed at the beginning. The school scene was devastating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
