pickWhen I started listening to this audiobook, Caffeine, by Michael Pollan, I was a bit worried I was going to be left feeling guilty about my caffeine consumption. As you can tell from the picture, I love tea: tea bags, loose leaf tea, various flavors/seasons, and a variety of caffeine levels. Pollan tells the history of caffeine, impact on our bodies, and our caffeine culture. ☕️🫖

pickWho doesn‘t like coffee? Or tea? Or at least being fascinated with caffeine? This book, in Pollan style, gives his personal take on the subject, unfortunately the taste is almost too brief, much like my caffeine high.
pickCoffee or black tea? I‘m the latter and I enjoyed very much the history of caffeine and all about its good and bad effects on mankind. The author and I don‘t share the same political points of view, but how fascinating that caffeine had a massive role to play in the advancements in math and science as caffeine was introduced right before the subjects flourished. The point: caffeine gave humans the ability to focus like never before. ⬇️
so-soInteresting listen. Definitely written without the perspective of people with neurodivergence or mental health struggles and how caffeine affects them. Bit still really interesting and informative.
I‘m joining the readathon! This September, my goal is to read 10 books from my TBR of owned books.

Day 5: This one is for those coffee and chocolate lovers out there. Not just all doom and gloom, and super interesting. #30recsin30days
pick🎧 I enjoyed this little bit of non-fiction. I have a morning caffeine ritual. I joke about it but I enjoy a cup of eye opening caffeine every morning. It was nice to hear about caffeine from a fellow caffeine consumer who went cold turkey for the story!
